More Than a Photographer – A Keeper of Legacy.

Hey, I’m Lisa! I’m a Sarasota Family and Newborn photographer creating polished, timeless portraits
for families along Florida’s Gulf Coast.

I photograph families throughout Sarasota, Venice, Lakewood Ranch, Fort Myers, and surrounding coastal communities, with sessions designed to feel personal, relaxed, and beautifully connected. Whether we’re photographing your family at home, on the beach, or during your baby’s earliest days, my goal is to create portraits you’ll continue enjoying long after these moments pass.

About Lisa | Sarasota Boutique Newborn Photographer

Get to Know Me

My journey with photography began in a high school darkroom, developing black and white film by hand long before I imagined the role photography would eventually play in my life.

Years later, after my daughter was born, I found myself documenting everything. From the tiny changes and endless expressions, to the moments that seemed to pass far too quickly. Looking back at those photographs now, I understand just how meaningful it is to preserve the seasons of life that never stay the same for long.

Today, I photograph families throughout Sarasota and Florida’s Gulf Coast, creating polished, connected portraits designed to be enjoyed long after the moment itself has passed. From newborn sessions at home to beach portraits at sunset, my goal is to create imagery that feels personal, timeless, and worthy of displaying in your home.

Let’s Chat

Let’s Plan Something Beautiful

The families I photograph are often in seasons of life they wish they could slow down just a little longer. It’s an honor to preserve those moments in a way that feels lasting, personal, and meaningful.

More About Me

A few lighthearted facts (and a few deeper ones) — because the person behind the camera matters, 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…

• 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 (Greece is my favorite place to visit!)

• 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’m incredibly grateful to photograph families across Sarasota and Florida’s Gulf Coast during some of the most meaningful seasons of their lives.
