IF THIS FEELS FAMILIAR, YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE 

Intimate love stories — from quiet proposals to City Hall weddings and elopements

THIS SPACE IS FOR YOU 

If you’re drawn to quiet moments rather than grand performances

 If what matters most is how it felt — the pause before “yes, ” the closeness, the calm, the choice to keep things simple and true

 Whether it’s just the two of you, a City Hall ceremony, or the beginning of a family — this space is about presence, connection, and telling your story honestly, without rush or expectations

THE STORIES I TELL

Every chapter of life carries its own kind of beauty — the quiet glances, the laughter in between, the warmth of simply being together. My role is to notice and preserve those moments, so you can hold onto them long after they’ve passed.

Whether it’s your wedding day, a love story, or time with your family, I’m there to create photographs that breathe with honesty — tender reminders of how it felt, not just how it looked. Images that will carry your love forward, becoming part of the way your story is remembered.

WHAT IT FELT LIKE 

A few words from people who chose something quiet, honest, and deeply personal:

If you’re even THINKING about hiring Lisa—do it. She is truly one of the sweetest, kindest people I’ve ever worked with, and her talent behind the camera is undeniable. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable and at ease, which you can see in every single photo. There’s a warmth and authenticity to her work that’s hard to find, and she captures moments SO effortlessly and beautifully. 

You can tell she genuinely cares—not just about the photos, but about the people she’s photographing. It’s rare to find someone this skilled who is also such a joy to be around. I can’t recommend her enough. You won’t just get amazing photos—you’ll get an experience that feels special from start to finish. Hire her.

Family photoshoot in Chicago park during fall

Lisa did an absolutely amazing job capturing our wedding day! From start to finish, she was professional, creative, and so easy to work with. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured every detail beautifully.

 The photos turned out better than we could have imagined—natural, timeless, and full of emotion. We’ll cherish these memories forever. Highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated photographer!

FAQ

I feel awkward in front of the camera. Is that okay?

Absolutely. Most of my clients feel this way at first. My approach is calm, gentle, and guided — there’s no pressure to perform or pose. We’ll move slowly, focus on connection, and let things unfold naturally

How does the process work?

Just a few gentle notes so everything feels easy and stress-free:

— My editing style is natural, nostalgic, and cinematic.
— Your images will be delivered in a private online gallery, available for 3 months.
— Life happens — you’re welcome to reschedule up to two times.
— A deposit is required to reserve your date (non-refundable).
— Studio rental or specific location fees are not included.

I’ve never had a photoshoot before. What should I expect?

No worries — I’ll be there to guide you every step of the way. I’ll suggest simple, natural movements and help you feel comfortable. Your only job is to slow down, be present, and enjoy the moment. 

What should I wear for my session?

Choose outfits that feel like you. Soft textures, earthy tones, and comfortable fabrics photograph beautifully. After booking, I’ll send you simple guidance to help you prepare. 

Are you available for sessions outside of Chicago?

Yes — I love to travel and photograph stories beyond Chicago. If your story is happening somewhere else, I’m happy to be there with you. Travel fees apply and are calculated individually based on the destination.

What happens if it rains on the day of my outdoor shoot?

We’ll either reschedule for another day or find a cozy indoor location. I always stay flexible to ensure you have the best possible experience and beautiful photos, no matter the weather.

How do we book?

Once you choose your package, I’ll send a simple contract and deposit link to reserve your date. From there, I’ll help guide you through the process so everything feels easy and clear.
