Lisa was an absolutely wonderful addition to our wedding vendor team. She was along my side helping throughout the day and getting all the most perfect shots. She relieved a lot of the wedding day jitters and assured things would be perfect and still captured amazing photos despite rain and many last minute changes on our wedding day. I’d highly recommend her at your event as she really showed composure under pressure and worked so great with the other vendors. We loved your professionalism and light joking and great prompts for nice “candid” shots Lisa! Also, we loved how well you worked with the videographer to get those picture perfect moments.

Lisa was absolutely amazing. From the moment she arrived, it felt like she was part of our family rather than just someone we hired for the day. She blended in so naturally with everyone and made the whole experience feel comfortable and fun.
I haven’t received my full gallery back yet, but I already know the photos are going to be incredible. She showed me just one image on the back of her camera and even said it “wasn’t the best one,” and it was absolutely gorgeous. That alone told me everything I needed to know.
She truly saw my vision for the day and executed it perfectly. I’m so grateful she was the one capturing such an important moment in our lives. I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

My husband and I were very impressed with the variety and quality of our weddingphotos! Lisa did a great job of making us feel comfortable, explaining how to pose, and choosing various locations at our venue that were perfect for photos. I also really appreciated how quickly she responded to my questions before the wedding.

Lisa was very responsive and helpful when booking our engagement session with her. She kept a close eye on the weather and was flexible when we had to move up our time because of it. During our session, she directed us through poses and knew exactly what would turn out great and we even shared some laughs as well which helped to ease nerves. This was really helpful as a couple who had never had professional photos done before! My fiancé and I highly recommend Russell Photography. Book with them!! (Photos by Russell Photography)

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Working with a new client is exciting! I like to ask them what they are looking for with the outcome of the photos. Do they want more of a traditional look or something more modern. I like to sit down with them and go over my different package details or create a package that is right for the occasion. Then we book!
How did you get started doing this type of work?
It all starts with a passion! My father was a photographer before me. I cant put down the camera! I truly fell in love with photography after living in Colorado for a year! I love to see people smile and be truly happy after giving them the final product
