 Portland bloomed for us, not just with friendly faces and a charming Victorian by the bay, but with a tiny sign of hope. It wasn't planned. I was photographing a client's art haven when a miniature coffee plant stole the show. Eight inches of emerald vibrancy, nestled amongst canvases and curios. A gift for my coffee-obsessed husband, then a home roaster on a quest for mastery. We christened him Akpe, "thank you" in Togolese, a whispered gratitude for all we found in this new life. Years have unfurled, and Akpe has mirrored our growth. His leaves, once a dark caress, now brush our shoulders. Delicate white blooms, phantoms against the emerald canvas, promise the future harvest. This isn't just a photograph; it's a memory captured in light. Akpe, our silent companion, a symbol of new beginnings and the quiet magic that unfolds when we least expect it.

Liz DavenportAs a photographer, I am attracted to time, adventure, and the unique. This stems from a desire to capture moments that are fleeting and capture experiences that are one-of-a-kind. The world is full of endless possibilities and as a photographer, curiosity drives me to explore and document these instances through the lens of my camera. By seeking out new adventures, I hope to be able to capture moments that are unique and timeless. Whether it's the intricacies of a bustling city or the serenity of a remote landscape, I am constantly intrigued by these words so much so that I have recognized them to be so dearly valued in my personal life. Unique. Adventure. Time. Archives
