We had the good fortune of connecting with Liz Jahl and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Liz, how do you think about risk?
My motto is ‘No risk, no reward.’ I was originally working in a corporate position in the biotechnology industry. I knew it would be a risk to take the plunge and start my own business, but life is short and we should spend time doing what we love! I’m glad I took a risk with starting my own business and working for myself.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’m a wedding, boudoir, and portrait photographer based in the Greater Atlanta area. I currently specialize in weddings. I love capturing joyful and candid moments. I believe that every relationship is unique, and that’s part of what makes love beautiful. Weddings and elopements are a celebration of the couple’s unique relationship, and my purpose is to capture them in a way that truly represents the couple’s story.

I love the creative side, but I also learned that I love the business aspect. I enjoy communicating with clients and strive to be very responsive. I really enjoy thinking about ways to elevate my client’s experience and make the overall process as seamless as possible.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would definitely show my friends so many of the amazing eateries that Atlanta has to offer. I’d taken them to different neighborhoods like East Atlanta Village, Grant Park, and Little Five Points. I’d also show them some cuter, lesser known downtown areas outside of the city.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to dedicate my shoutout to my husband, Alex. He has been so supportive throughout my career. He was immediately on board when I told him I wanted to work on my photography business full time. He has given me so much love and always emphasizes my successes. I definitely wouldn’t have come this far without his encouragement!
