The story of a photographer

Hi, I am Liza, your photographer on land and under the waves.

My photography journey began with a well-worn passport and a camera in hand, capturing moments from my travels around the globe. After settling in the Pacific Northwest, my lens turned toward my family life — where chaos and beauty often coexisted in the same frame. Eventually, a fascination with the underwater world, thanks to free-diving adventures, led me beneath the waves, where I found a new muse: the enchanting life of the ocean and the magic of underwater portraiture. Somewhere between the forest and the sea, I’ve learned to tell stories that are both grounded and weightless, with photography - a language I speak my best.

I live with my husband and our young children, we share our home with dogs, guinea pigs, fish and occasional luna moths. A few things about me: a cup of matcha tea by the fireplace is my favorite way to start a day - even in summer, I love Mondays - I call them "get-it-done-days," I love fashion but I prefer wearing comfy athletic-wear, taking a trip anywhere - across the globe or to a grocery store near the house is my preferred me-time, I can't decide if I love oceans or mountains best, a book is my favorite way to unwind for the day.
