When it comes to planning your maternity photo shoot, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is what to wear. After all, your outfit will be a key part of the final photographs, so it’s important to choose something that makes you feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful. What To Wear: Show Off The Bump […]
Vulnerable post alert. I’ve talked about this before, about how I get stuck in my comfort zone and tend to shoot at all the same locations because they’re familiar and dependable and I know I can deliver a good product. However, it gets a little boring and predictable being stuck in my comfort zone and […]
Today we’re going to talk Bucket List Photo Locations. I’ve been in business since March of 2017 so I’ve done a LOT of photo sessions. When you’re first starting out, you shoot anywhere that the client wants. Oh, I’ve shot in so many places that I look back on now and shake my head at. […]
As a former postpartum and newborn nurse, breastfeeding is near and dear to my heart and, at every opportunity, I offer breastfeeding photo sessions. I breastfed all three of my children for at least a year each. It was the most precious connection to share during that time and, often, I think back and kick […]
Rawlings Conservatory maternity photos are *where it’s at* in the winter. I’ve been frank about this in the past and I will continue to be very truthful about the fact that I HATE BEING COLD. Not only am I a giant weenie about cold in general, from a very practical standpoint, it’s incredibly hard for […]

That’s just not my style and I know that about myself. My clients know […]

How does one go about finding the BEST maternity photographer? That’s a question that many a pregnant momma has asked herself and the answer isn’t quite as easy as you’d think, due to the plethora of photographers in the DMV area. There are a lot of things to consider but here are some things to […]
Today I wanted to talk about my favorite printed products. Over the winter, Liz Viernes Photography got a bit of a reboot. Pricing and offering changed pretty significantly. I worked on my numbers, really dug deep and considered my costs of doing business. In doing this, I made the hard but overwhelmingly necessary decision to […]
Pretty sure I’ve just shot my last greenhouse maternity photos at Rawlings Conservatory for the winter and it had its hiccups, FOR SURE. I met Kayla and Andrew outside. Kayla looked totally beautiful in her Lydia dress from Baltic Born and Andrew was casually handsome in his white shirt and sneakers. I think we were […]
