When you discover they've moved your shoot location to the marsh, improvise!
An Oklahoma native, Liz is a Charlestonian at heart – as at home in cowboy boots as she is in flip flops. Which is not so different from her professional life, where she’s as comfortable in an industrial plant as she is in a Bordeaux vineyard. Really. For Liz, it’s all about people with real stories – and discovering the best way to capture, inspire, and transform the world with them.
