More Than a Photographer – A Keeper of Legacy.
Hey, I’m Lisa! I’m a Sarasota boutique newborn photographer and portrait artist, specializing in timeless, heartfelt imagery for families who believe that memories are worth preserving – not just for today, but for generations to come.
It’s my joy and honor to preserve the moments that matter most to families here in Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, Fort Myers, and beyond – through a white-glove, in-home portrait experience designed to feel as effortless as it is unforgettable.

Get to Know Me
My journey with photography began in a high school darkroom, developing black and white film by hand – long before I ever imagined the role it would play in my life.
Years later, after my daughter was born, everything changed. I began capturing her every expression, her evolving features, and the moments that were slipping by faster than I could hold onto them. One photo to the next – just weeks apart – and she already looked like a different child.
I didn’t want to forget a second. And I don’t want you to, either.
Those early days at home with your baby are a beautiful blur, but photographs have a way of holding onto the magic. They become anchors to the memories you can’t put into words. And as time goes on, they become even more priceless.
My role goes far beyond the newborn stage. I’m here to help you document your family’s growth through every chapter – the milestones, the new additions, and even the quiet, ordinary moments that make your story yours.
Because you deserve portraits that reflect how deeply you love. Artwork you’re proud to display. And an experience you’ll treasure just as much as the finished images.
Your Legacy Starts Here
Let’s start planning the portraits you’ve been dreaming about – the ones that capture your family exactly as you are, in this moment, before it slips away.
Whether you’re envisioning a tender newborn session, a joyful family milestone, or timeless portraits for your walls, I’m here to make it seamless and unforgettable.
Call or text me at 315-383-0045, or fill out the contact form below to begin your personalized portrait experience. I can’t wait to hear from you.
With love,
xoxo — Lisa

My Family

My sweet & sassy daughter
(Of course we love glitter!)


Family is Everything
Everything I do is for us ♥


Having some unavoidable fun, but also, we can be serious ♥

My Signature Style
A refined, heartfelt aesthetic – with every detail intentionally designed.

Studio Lighting
As a Sarasota luxury newborn photographer, I bring the full studio experience to you – including backdrops, lighting, and styling – so you can enjoy polished, professional portraits without ever leaving your home.

Attention to Details
My clean, fuss-free style highlights the beauty of your family with purposeful simplicity and exceptional care – whether we’re capturing soft and airy tones or something deeper and more dramatic.

Professionally guided posing
From maternity and newborn sessions to editorial portraits and headshots, I guide you every step of the way to create natural, flattering poses that feel both elevated and effortless.
Ready to Begin?
I take a limited number of portrait sessions each month to ensure the highest level of personalized service. Let’s connect and design a session as unforgettable as the moments we’ll capture together.
More About Me
A few lighthearted facts (and a few deeper ones) — because the stories behind the camera matter, too.

🧡 I Can’t Say No to a Beach Day
No surprise there — we live just 25 minutes from Florida’s Gulf Coast and I never take it for granted.

🐚 Shell Collector at Heart
My beach finds come from all over the world — I’ve built quite the collection of seashells and coastal treasures.

🍍 An IVF Mama
My daughter is our greatest gift. Surprisingly, many of my clients have walked this same road — we connect in quiet, powerful ways because of it.

💅 Nail Polish Enthusiast
Over 100 colors, dips, and gels — let’s just say I love a good manicure. (Bonus points for metallics and moody neutrals.)
Even More…
• Enneagram Type 4 and INTJ (The Architect)
• Born and raised in Boston, now loving life in sunny Sarasota
• 100% Greek — I’m the first American-born in my family
• A long line of entrepreneurs runs in my blood (thanks, Dad & Papou!)
• Homeschooling mom + travel lover
• When I’m not behind the camera: painting, writing, hunting shark teeth at Englewood Beach, or shopping for newborn props
• I never watch TV (truly!)
• Social media? Not really my thing
• Florida heat? Yes please. Cold weather? Hard pass.
• Cardio? No thanks — I’ll take lifting weights any day
• I feel incredibly lucky to serve families across Sarasota and the Gulf Coast with a full-service, luxury portrait experience — one that honors your most meaningful milestones.
