About Lisa

I was a photographer before I became a mother, but motherhood allowed me to truly see and appreciate the beauty in the quiet, simple moments. As my children grow, I rely on photographs to remember just how small those tiny toes once were. To recall that soft, sweet newborn scent, and the first gummy smiles and squeals of delight.

Your baby’s first year passes by much too quickly, and things you promise to never forget have a way of fading with the passing days. A photograph preserves that moment in time, that precious memory, and allows you to recall it at will. Nobody has ever complained of having too many good photographs of their children.

My special passion for capturing newborns and babies comes as a result of my firstborn’s premature birth. Unexpectedly delivering two months early, I only have a couple of self-portraits taken in the mirror to document my pregnancy. And my son’s early arrival meant a stay in the NICU, with just a few photos of him as a tiny newborn in an isolette connected to wires. From then, I wanted to give every woman the opportunity to see herself as strong and beautiful during that most powerful and unique time- pregnancy. It became equally important to me to capture the love a parent has for their child, from birth onward.

My story is a story of love, for my children, for my art, and for your children.

"Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that will never be again… Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. You have the capacity for anything."
- Pablo Casals
