– love, as it was lived
hi, i'm elizabeth
I’ve been running my photography business since 2023, and every day, I’m reminded of how lucky I am to document love in all its forms.
What began by hand-rinsing film in a high school darkroom has grown into this passion I have for documenting your super cool lives - intentionally + genuinely.
I believe that your photos should feel like you: not a stiff, overly posed, manufactured version of you. Photos truly do take you back, so they should actually feel like the moments you lived.
Based in Iowa and traveling.

"Will always recommend booking with Liz!! She photographed our wedding and we could not be happier with how the photos came out. Throughout the planning process she was very communicative and accommodating. She was very receptive to everything we talked about. On the wedding day, she was professional and organized. We highly recommend her!"

"I actually cannot describe how much I love my photos. I picked Liz because I liked how each of her shoots told different stories, so I really shouldn’t be surprised. Seeing some of my own photos and thinking, “Yeah that’s so me” was amazing. Girl can capture the vibe you are going for if you let her! She’s also just so fun and makes you feel very comfortable during your shoot. Not only do I love my photos, but taking them was a great experience in itself. Oh and she literally hiked a hay bale that was probably taller than her for a picture I wanted. That’s commitment! Thanks Liz!"

"I found Elizabeth rather randomly on a FaceBook vendor page, and knew almost immediately after I saw her work that I had found my wedding photographer. She has a real talent for capturing candid moments and making her photos look real and lived in. That’s what I wanted for my wedding day, and to say she delivered is an understatement. My wedding photos are gorgeous documentary style photos. They make you feel like you were there with us and my family agrees with me that they turned out beautifully. Thank you, Liz, for capturing our special day so perfectly. If you’re looking for real beautiful photos of you and your loved ones, look no further than Elizabeth Ro Photo. I’m an extremely happy client!"

"Liz is by far the BEST photographer I’ve ever worked with. She was so welcoming and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the whole shoot. She always has the best ideas for poses/locations and has the artistic eye to know exactly how to execute her visions. I strongly encourage everyone to book her!! :)"
