Hi, I’m Lisa

I’m a Sarasota family and newborn photographer creating polished, timeless portraits for families along Florida’s Gulf Coast.

I live in North Port with my husband Chad, our daughter Kat, and our ferocious kitty, Izzy. Working with babies and children is one of the best parts of what I do, and I’m drawn to imagery that feels just as beautiful on your walls as it does in the moment.

Whether your session takes place at home or on the beach, I’ll help guide you through the process so it feels easy and your portraits feel natural and connected.

For select sessions, professional hair and makeup services are also available.

I can’t wait to create something beautiful for your family.
