I'm Liza Head, aka Juniper Spring Photography, and I'm a fine art wedding and portrait photographer based in San Jose, California. I started shooting weddings in 2010, instantly fell in love and haven't looked back. As Juniper Spring Photography, I specialize in two things: weddings and portraits. My first love is documenting weddings in a natural way, focusing on candid coverage of joy, emotion, and relationships.
My second love, which I discovered a couple of years ago, is portraits of women. Photographing weddings, I get to be present and document a vitally significant and beautifully emotional day in the lives of two people in love. Photographing women in a portrait session, however, gives me a chance to utilize my creativity and fine art background to really celebrate my clients individually - who they are on the outside as well as the inside.

The year was 2006. I was studying art at UCSC, when I met a boy with a passion for urban exploring and a hand-me-down DSLR. His name was Sean, and he taught me how to use the camera to document the world around me. I was already an artist, but with my new technical knowledge, it wasn't long before I fell in love with photography and, from then on, kept a running record of our adventures together.
Juniper Spring Photography is a Bay Area based fine art wedding and portrait studio owned and operated by lead photographer Liza Head. WE LOVE WEDDINGS. We love talking about them, being at them, and photographing them. But even more than that, we love getting to know and working with the awesome humans who are taking this huge leap into life together.
While a full wedding has its charm, there's nothing quite like leaving your worries and stressful event planning behind and just running away with your favorite person. In my many years of exploring, I have really fallen for the majestic, wild, and varied locations California has to offer. Beaches, forests, canyons, mountains - I love it all - and I'm so glad couples are embracing these spaces with their mini weddings.
Engagement photo sessions are a great way to celebrate this season in your life. As you're running around, planning all of the details of your upcoming wedding, an engagement session is a way to slow down, pause, and just enjoy each other and your relationship as it is *right now*. I love doing engagement photos - to see you in your element (whatever that may be) and to get to know you two a little bit better.

Choosing Liza as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made! From the engagement shoot to the big day, everything was perfect! I’m a little shy, so it’s kinda weird having someone taking pictures of me all the time, and she was the best. She made us feel comfortable and at ease, and she was never imposing. The pictures are beautiful, very candid and natural, and she has a great sense of the attitude of the group she’s photographing, capturing amazing details and key moments.
She’s very easy to get a hold of and to talk to, and it was great having someone so professional and

Juniper Spring Photography has done several photo shoots for me and my family, and I wouldn't trust the unique, special and intimate moments to anyone else. Liza Head of JSP does an excellent job of capturing the moments in a whimsical, natural and energetic light. If you're looking for a genuinely talented photographer to portray you and your loved ones in the best light, look no further.

Liza Head is a PRO! I hired Liza to photograph our wedding, and delivered top notch results, and photographs that we will be happy with for years to come! Liza had great ideas for how to capture spectacular images from our location, and then from our reception party. She made us look so cool! ;-)
We are super happy that we hired her!

She has captured many timeless family snapshots for me that I treasure as my most valuable possessions. She is one of the kindest people you will ever meet! She knows what she's doing and her love for her work shows. She really cares about her clients and I am thankful to have her as our "family photographer", hopefully for years to come.
