Hi friends and family! Just a little announcement about the latest with my photography. I'm no longer taking portrait clients, but I am still doing lots of writing and photography projects. I'd love for you to follow me on either of these pages if they interest you!

Roaming the Americas is my brand new blog about responsible travel in the United States and Latin America. I share resources to help you plan, stories that inspire you to get out and explore, and photography tips to help you capture your journey in an authentic and respectful way.

My freelance writing and photography portfolios can be found on Naomi Liz • Writer and Photographer. My photography is now focused on travel and non-profit work.

Thanks, friends! It's been a joy working with you and I hope to connect in other places.

Hey friends! I haven't posted here much since I'm not taking portraits, but I thought I'd let you know what I've been up to recently in the photography world. I'm excited to share a story on the beautiful Maptia site about my recent travels in Cuba. A little weekend reading (and photo perusing) for anyone who's interested. :)

“I just got back from Cuba,” I’d say, and my American friends would always respond with a bit of intrigue and fearful surprise. At times I feel like I’ve blurted out a bad word mid-conversation, so taboo and foreign the subject of Cuba has always been in the United States...

A few never before shared photos are up on the blog!

 I'm tempted to write a lot here because I've had some beautiful experiences in Guatemala, but I hope these photographs speak to something that words cannot.  I traveled to Guatemala in 2012 to do some humanitarian photography work for an education non-profit, and I stayed in the…

The secret project I've been working on!

I'm currently working on some major changes on my blog! I plan to announce things soon, but here's what's happening for now:
As I mentioned a few months ago, I've taken a step back from photographing clients for the time being. Since I have lots of photographs of clients here, I wanted to leave this page active. I have another page which I've used for humanitarian trips in the past, and that's where all the updates will be posted.
If you'd like to keep up, feel free to check out and follow this page (Naomi Liz-Writer and Photographer)!

Dear friends and family,
Thank you all so very much for all the support you've given me in my photographic adventures. Many of you have been clients, and I have so very much enjoyed working with you!
For several months, I've been a bit silent. This year has been one of many changes for me personally, and my family is still in a state of flux as we decide what to do next. In dealing with all of that, I have felt the need to step back a bit from photographing clients for the time. I am always honored to be a part of your lives by photographing you and your loved ones, but I only want to do so if I know I'm be able to invest my time and energy 100% to give you amazing photographs and a wonderful experience. I am not sure what the next year will hold, but I'll keep you posted. :)
Thank you again for your support (and especially to my husband who has always encouraged me and believed in me, even when I didn't believe in myself). Thank you to the folks who have understood when I shared why I couldn't photograph them in the past few months. Thank you to my last few clients who have been super patient with me as I've finished up their photographs. You are all amazing, and I appreciate you more than you know!
