34 things you didn't know about Leeeeza

Liza! Who is she?? Only the my ridiculously fabulous partner-in-crime and trusty second shooter. Liza and I tag team all element weddings together and we have a busy summer season ahead that we are really excited about. To date we are completely booked up from May till September, doubling the amount of weddings that we shot together last summer!! Hurray! A few months back I started compiling a list of things that reminded me of Liza. She knows about this secret list of mine and it drove her to hysterics everytime I brought it up on the sly.  Liza had a big birthday while I was away in Thailand, and then she left for Trinidad before I got back to celebrate with her! Since she is not one to toot her own horn I have taken on the liberty to do it for her! To welcome her home in style and surprise her with a gift, this post is all about HER! At the risk of being out-of-date as I recognize the facebook trend of "25 things about me" may be a little passe...I present to you Liza (and all our friends) 34 things about HER...
