"Liz was incredible to work with. She took a vague book cover design idea and saw possibilities for it I had never even imagined, thus taking it from ordinary to original. She’s that rare combination of creative talent with precise, left brain perfectionism. No detail was overlooked in our project. And rather than just kicking back and doing things on her timetable, she was willing to push until something was completed, even if it meant forgoing lunch or dinner.

We also gave her a poor quality family photo and she made it beautiful! It was for the holidays, so she changed the drab gray background into a sparkling gold one. Then she adjusted the color tones on our faces, put on natural looking “makeup” and made us look better in ways it’s hard to describe. We then turned that photo into our holiday card and sent it out to all our friends and family.

Liz doesn’t have the temperamental artist demeanor, but a calm, reassuring presence that makes you feel you’re in good hands. She pulls together all her years of photographic, computer and creative experience to come up with results that are on-time, eye-catching and technically perfect."

Lauren Haas, performer and instructor

"When I've performed at St. Louis events, the best photos have always come from Liz. Usually these are action shots in a low-light environment, yet Liz manages to produce well-defined pics with clear vibrant colors. Usually she's the only photographer at the event who can provide usable pics afterward. She always finds just the right angle, shoots at just the right moment. Even better, if Liz tells me something will get done, it does. And she's such a warm, relaxing person to be around!"

Wann Smith, personal client

"Liz Schneider is a perfectionist. The attention to detail she affords each and every project she undertakes leaves nothing to be desired. I would not hesitate to recommend her for any assignment."

Susan Piontek, actress

"Recently I had the opportunity of working with Liz Schneider. The purpose of our photo session was to provide me with photos for a new Talent Agency I was aspiring to work with. Liz was the consummate professional. She was on time, creative in her desire to get the best shots and always wanted me to be comfortable and offer my input. I was very pleased with the results. Since that session I was offered a contract with the Talent Agency and have asked Liz to take photos of my children over the holidays. Kudos, Liz."


Wendy McGowan, personal client

"Liz, you were terrific to work with, great with the children, and did a terrific job with the images - like magic! I also totally appreciated the DVD you gave us of the photos - the kids loved playing it on the TV. It was all terrific and I wish you all the best."


Karol McNutt, personal client

"I needed a headshot for my organization's website and Liz was wonderful in understanding the best background and lighting for use on the website. She was very patient and took lots of shots in various locations and poses until we were happy with the outcome. She not only listened closely to my needs, but she was really fun to work with!"

Gale Portman, actress and storyteller

"Liz is a master at seeing what a photo needs to be more beautiful, sharp, and colorful while still staying true to the original. What she does with a photo is magic, and thank goodness she’s a wiz at it because I never have the patience, time or talent to do what she does. Liz’s work helps us preserve the story of our lives through the pictures that are most important."

"I found working with Liz on our family photos and my business photos, to be most efficient and enjoyable as well as timely......sessions did not involve hours of time and always produced informative and beautiful work.......her calm demeanor and mannerisms are an asset when you are trying to act natural for a photo.....she is a perfectionist."

Barry Cervantes, Camelot Consulting

"I am writing to thank you for the recent photography work you did for me and my family. I appreciate your willingness to work around my schedule and rush the job without compromising quality. Over the course of many years you have consistently provided high quality work at reasonable prices. I look to you as my resource not only when I have photographic needs (but also technical computer issues even though that is no longer your focus) because I know you can be trusted to take my ideas and create something beautiful and unique which always exceeds my expectations. I marvel at your technical expertise and willingness to work with me even when I ask the impossible. Yes, we also get the job done and even have fun doing so… I really value our relationship and look forward to working with you again in the near future."
