Hello,

I'm LISA

DC FamilY & COuples Photographer

My love for photography began as a little girl, surrounded by my mom and my grandfather who were, with a camera in hand, always ready to document every little moments of me and my sisters' lives. I learned to appreciate at first, love later, the thought and care that they both put in crafting and building lifelong memories through heirloom photo albums.


Born in France, I am a storyteller at heart. Married to my best friend, and mom to an amazing 2 year-old little girl, I know how to put family front and center and make it shine. As a former dancer, photography is the creative outlet that I need to feel happy and fulfilled day to day. I believe that the best photos come from raw, authentic moments of joy, passion and fun, that I simply get to observe and artistically capture to create the photos that you will hopefully one day put in your own heirloom family albums.
