About
Hi! I’m Lisa and I am the photographer for those on a budget! I specialize in photos with an artistic flair. I am experienced in photographing headshots, portraits, special occasions (weddings/engagements/graduations, etc. ) family, landscapes/outdoor settings, Niagara Falls & Buffalo, NYC attraction sites, architecture, food/restaurant and more! I can take headshots, posed images and candid.
I am also a LICENSED TOUR GUIDE in NYC so can do tours & photo packages when in town.
Not only am I skilled at taking the actual photograph but I also creatively set up and orchestrate the photo scene in a unique way that is the most artistic and appealing.
Please NOTE: I only send finished photo files via digital download to my clients (within 7 business days). Since my photography is my artistic work, I do not send raw photo files.

WOW this woman is an incredible photographer! We were so lucky to have found Lisa to capture our small wedding ceremony in the park! She was on time, captured all the shots we requested, and had us pose for a few cute shots too. Definitely exceeded our expectations. She will listen to you and work with you to achieve your vision. As a bonus, she also had our picture gallery ready for us in less than a week! So fast! Would definitely recommend. Thank you so much for the amazing pictures Lisa! You captured the day perfectly and we are forever grateful!

I loved working with Lisa and we had a lot of fun doing a photo-session during the snowstorm. She is so creative and knows NYC very well and the best spots for photos. The pictures came out beautiful! My favorite one is in the red dress
