This is me.

My Favorite Endorsement:

"Lisa, you were a good little girl...so funny and cute. You were easy to love and very obedient. You were a special gift to your dad and me. I love you very much and thank God for you!!!"

I've had a lifelong preoccupation with creative communication.

Fourteen years ago I was a happy little Texas mama volunteering at my kids’ schools, and photographing school events. My daughter's friends started asking me to take their Senior Pictures. I was a rookie rocking a Canon consumer DSLR with the lens that came in the box. Fortunately, I had a background in theatre, television, and music which helped me with posing, planning, and creative stuff.

Fast forward through over 850 custom sessions, formal and informal education and serious camera and lens upgrades, and I still have a crazy obsession with Senior Portraits. PS. I also have a Masters Degree in Mass Communication which helps greatly in accurately portraying your personality in your images.

To tell my story in snapshots:

This is my funny, rock-solid husband,

My family, whom I love,

My faith and my favorite place,

My spoiled, goofy dog, Gus,

When my kids were all living at home,

My precious grands!
