She has lived all over the United States and has backpacked through Europe twice, visiting over 16 amazing countries, each one adding a new chapter to her story.Since 2012, what was once just a hobby has blossomed into a successful and fulfilling career. Lisa genuinely loves getting to know her clients, and as an empath, she finds beauty in connection. Her goal is to make everyone feel beautiful and comfortable in front of the camera, creating an experience that feels effortless and fun. Her work has been featured in notable publications like the front cover and inside spread of the New York Post, Entertainment Weekly, and the Brooklyn Reporter, as well as being featured on IMDB, Netflix and Amazon Prime. Lisa has even had the pleasure of working on movie sets with incredible celebrities like Mike Tyson, John Travolta, Shannon Dougherty, Danny Glover, and Alec Baldwin, amongst many others, serving as the still photographer.When she’s not behind the camera, you can find Lisa hanging out with friends, going on hikes with her beloved dog, or traveling to embrace her love of different cultures. She also enjoys getting lost in her passion for poetry and playing guitar. With every click of the shutter, Lisa aims to tell a story, capturing authentic moments and emotions. She can’t wait to discover and document the unique beauty of your story!
