About
Hi, I'm Lizz
I never miss a moment.
I got my first camera when I was six years old, studied photography in art school, and spent over a decade in hospitality shooting food. I'll always love the art of capturing a dish but after beating cancer in 2020, I became increasingly drawn to people — their connections, their passions, their stories, the life that happens when you're making other plans. I pinch myself every day that I'm able to do what I love.
I also love being a New Yorker. I've lived in Gramercy Park for twenty-plus years and spend Summers in Saratoga Springs. The hidden corners, the perfect light, THAT backdrop — just so happens that's my specialty. See a scene in a movie for a split second? I know exactly where it is. If that's where you want your photos, leave it to me.
I work with couples, families and creatives who want portraits that hold up over time — in New York City, upstate, or wherever else life takes you.
What'S shaped my eye
The foundations
food taught me
compostion
Styling a dish means every element in the frame has a purpose — the light, the balance, the details that draw your eye exactly where they should. That obsessive attention to what belongs in a frame and what doesn't? I bring it to every session I shoot.
New York taught me
timing
The city moves fast and doesn't repeat itself. Twenty-plus years here has taught me to stay ready, stay present, and never look away. The best shot is always about to happen.
People taught me
connection
The real work begins before I start snapping — matching an energy, building a trust, making you feel so comfortable you forget I'm even there. And that's when it happens — the something you couldn't plan for, the moment that turns a good photo into an unforgettable one.
A little more about me
But feels important anyway.
I'm obsessed with personal style.
I'm an Aries — yes, your photos will be that good.
I love going out to eat. We'll probably talk about our favorite restaurants.
I've lived in the same neighborhood for 25 years and share my apartment with my husband and our 17 year old cat, Cynthia.
I've seen my favorite band over 300 times. Ask me during our shoot who it is.
