My docu-style photography is about capturing those candid, in-between, un-posed moments that happen naturally; the raw beauty, emotions and truth that retreat or ceremony participants will undoubtedly experience. The magic of this style is that it allows those to relive little moments that you may have forgotten during the grandeur of the day. My work invites the viewer into a feeling... Allowing others to see transformation in its purest form - genuine and authentic. As an event photographer, it’s important for me to blend in with the students and capture these moments as they happen without interrupting the process... So that others do not feel as if they’re being watched.
ART OF TOUCH
Chemuyil, Mexico
"Ive worked with Lisa for 2 of my wellness retreats and she really did a beautiful job at not only capturing the energy of the event but also creating a beautiful space where all of the women felt completely safe, comfortable in their bodies, loved and recognized. She has a fantastic artistic eye and caring heart and we all felt so comfortable with her. She guided the ceremony so perfectly and smoothly and she was totally in instinctual flow with what my specific group needed. I highly recommend working with Lisa and I’ll definitely be working with her again and again. ."

"When's the last time you saw a picture of yourself fully present and in a moment? There was a time, not that long ago actaully where I would filter and angle myself for the "perfect" shot. That looked like a lot of missed opportunities in times I was so focused on the cameras and the angles they were and how I could look natural while sucking it in or hiding behind a person, a bag or my jacket. I was only down to do photos if I could control the entire thing, which also drained me because even then I was never satisfied and would truly lose my confidence, what little of it I had to begin with and I hated that feeling so much! And now, here I am! Looking at these photos I cried tears of joy... It was so magical to see the way in which you captured everyone but also just to see myself in that light from someone else’s perspective and really feel all the feels like I’m back there again. So thank you for that it really helped me open up more in the space and move past my own nerves and just be happy and free. Really be me wholeheartedly."

"You were the most present photo fairy, in all of the right moments, which is a gift. The passion of wanting to be apart of it, and not like oh I'm coming to take photos as an observer but inside of the whole scene which makes people comfortable because you aren't coming from the outside, you're coming from the inside.
Your level of comfort I think allows people to not feel that they're being watched."
