Short Bio
I’m Lisa...a 34 year old stay at home mom to 8 (soon to be 9!) children and a wife to my sweet husband, Jeff. I love traveling, camping, hiking, archaeology, studying ancient civilizations and their cultures, cooking (especially things exotic and unusual), and spending time with my family. Oh, AND photography...how could I forget that! I LOVE photography!
I graduated from high school in 1994 and enlisted in the United States Navy. I went through their Nuclear Power Program, which was a huge challenge, but also such a growing time in my life. After my time in the Navy, I became a mother, and have been a stay at home mom ever since. Our kids range in age from 13 on down to 1, with another expected this fall.
My start in photography is a pretty typical one. When Adrian (kiddo #5) came along in 2006, I suddenly had the urge to take better pictures of my own children. I’ve always been artistic, so this was a perfect creative outlet for me. It all started on a birth board I was part of. We had a little photography group and would post pics, give each other tips and critique, and work on different techniques. It all grew from there! What started out as a little hobby soon grew into a full fledged passion. It’s the perfectionist in me! I am not happy until things are *just right*...and obviously, photography is one of those things in which you never stop learning or growing, so here I am today, still plugging away. When I realized that all of those amazing lenses and other photography related equipment didn’t come cheap, my ‘hobby’ slowly morphed into a money making business. I do this very part time as my large family takes up most of my time. Thankfully, I have a very supportive husband and family. My 12 year old daughter has become a wonderful assistant, reflector holder, little kid smile inducer, and test model herself. I couldn’t do it without their support!
That’s me, in a nutshell! I look forward to many more years doing the things I love, enjoying life, and helping others capture amazing images and memories of their loved ones.

Short Bio (Word from photographer)
Art is one of my passions in life.
I admire and I am inspired by the creativity of others such as Michelangelo, Edouard Manet, Henry Moore and Dale Chilhuly.
As a photographer I feel that have the opportunity to create art… in my own unique way.
In addition to capturing the special moments in people’s lives I also enjoy taking pictures of places.
I have a goal to visit all 7 continents and as I do I will be taking pictures all along the way. Photography is so much a part of my life and it makes me very happy!
My Two Cents
Sara is my sister. She's been doing photographer for a lot longer than I have.
When I started getting interested in Photography back in 2005 we started talking all the time about it and supporting eachother.
We got our blogs around the same time and helped bounce ideas off eachother ever since then.
She's been very helpful and supportive.
She's now planning on starting up some photowalks and other learning experiences down in Arizona, so if you're interested get a hold of her.
