My love affair with photography began at a very young age. When I was a child, my parents gave me a Polaroid camera for my 9th birthday. I would pose and capture images of the neighbor-kids my mom babysat, delivering the finished "product" to their parents proudly (if you look around the studio, some of those early Polaroids decorate the walls).

Lizzy has been our photographer since 2013. She is the only photographer we have used and we will continue using her for all our future portrait sessions in the future. She has witnessed some of the most painful and some of the most perfect moments in our life. She captured the only images of our son through NILMDTS, and has been there for every event and milestone for our Rainbow Baby.
Custom Photography is an investment in preserving your family's history. We capture the moments, memories and emotions that become the chapters in your family story. Each image we create is the result of countless hours of education, patience, practice, and dedication to perfecting the art of maternity and newborn photography.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality
Our initial contact with Lizzy was phenomenal. She truly is a baby whisperer. This year brought so many challenges, and while it took a bit to get our photos, there are no words to describe how beautiful they are. Thank you so much, Lizzy, for capturing my son’s first photos. They’ll be treasured forever!

I had the pleasure of working with Lizzy from Momento Studios for my maternity, birth, newborn, and family photos and I cannot say enough nice things about her. From beginning to end the experience was amazing! When I first inquired about a maternity session, she called to walk me through things and answer any questions I had. She has an AMAZING selection of maternity gowns to choose from for the session and I felt so pampered and gorgeous. I told her that I wasn't great in front of the camera, but she guided me through all of the poses and told me what to do and I never once felt awkward

SHE GHOSTED US!!
If I could give this 0 stars I would. My Sister and I found Lizzy at the Phoenix Baby Expo. We both were seeking a photographer to capture maternity, and newborn photos as well as photos of us together since we both were expecting.
Lizzy was sweet but communication is not her strong suit! On 1/1/20 My sister completed her Maternity shoot, and we did a shoot together as well. We had been asking for an invoice for our sessions for probably about a month. My sister was suppose to get a photo back for her baby shower and never heard a word from Lizzy.

Let me start off by saying we met Lizzy at the baby expo. My two daughters are pregnant right now and it was very important to me to get a photo of them both together. I'm so so disappointed, It started off by me sending emails no response back. Then my daughter sending follow up emails and she would get a response like my assistant put the emails in the wrong client folder etc. She expressed she was going Japan and when she got back we could visit the Studio.
We went to see the studio booked my daughters maternity sessions. Jan 1st comes photos were taken with both my girls. I have sent

I just had my maternity photos done with Lizzy, and She. Was. Incredible.
I am NOT an in-front of the camera type of gal. And I actually didn't even contact her for maternity photos. But this being my first pregnancy, Lizzy really helped me understand the *why* behind maternity photos. I wasn't even thinking of how much my baby will love knowing the story of him. And this bump is just the beginning of his legacy. Lizzy was so sweet in taking time to understand me, and understand my confidence issues too.
To be honest, I was nervous day of my shoot. I felt fluffy and big. No pregnancy

My wife and I had the privilege of watching Lizzy at Momento Studios work her photographic magic with our little ones. Her amazing eye and her skill with a camera are only a fraction of what makes Lizzy such a stand-out photographer. It's her genuine care for people, her passion for the art, her playful personality and style, and her attention to detail which set her apart from a lot of other good photographers. If you're needing someone to capture your family's special moments, look no further!

Lizzy has said to me that it has been her pleasure photographing my family over the past 10 years, but what I am sure I have forgotten to say to her is that the pleasure has been all ours. She has captured engagements photos, our wedding day, a pregnancy announcement, a gender reveal, newborn photos of both our kiddos, and numerous other family photos....and I am amazed each and every time at her ability to capture the sweetest images that really tell our story. My favorite images are always the ones where we have silly smirks or wrinkled noses on our faces and I have a whole slew of those cute

Lizzy at Momento Studios is fabulous to work with. I've had the pleasure of watching her do photography for my business - newborn clothing and props - and I'm always thrilled with the pictures. But more than that, she takes whatever time is needed to get the perfect shot. It's obvious that she loves her job. I highly recommend her to capture memories for you.

Momento Studios is the only Studio we would trust to capture our most cherished family memories. We met Lizzy through a charity durring the most difficult time of our lives... Our Son was born still and Lizzy was able to give us the only photographic memories we will ever have of him. She truly captured every moment and every emotion during that shoot and we will be forever grateful. We have continued to use Lizzy for all of our photo sessions. We have done Maternity, Birth Story, Newborn, Milestones and Family/Santa photos and we could not be more proud of the work that she does and the moments

This studio provides is the absolute epitome of care. There's nothing like it.
I've been a part of dozens of newborn and maternity photography sessions with Momento, and the team here delivers photo shoots with all of their heart. The title of their assistants are "official newborn snugglers." Isn't that awesome. Doesn't that make you feel good for your baby to spend time with those type of people?
I just love that when you walk into the studio that there are so many places that a mom can feel good spending a couple hours. Like wifi, Netflix, napping chairs, spaces to breastfeed, and stuff to

Lizzy is absolutely fantastic. She is so natural and kind, and so fun making you truly feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. She plans before each session, gets to know you before hand to completely customize your experience and it turns into the most magnificent and memorable works of art you can treasure forever. I did both my maternity and newborn pictures with Lizzy, and am completely obsessed with the quality of her work, and the amazing experience she had provided for us. From driving to the snow, to picking up a Blackhawks jersey for my newborn shoot from Build-a-bear (a
