I am a mother of 2 just about grown up, how did that happen, kids. My daughter is attending college in Monterey, and my son attends San Jose State University.
I have been an avid photographer since I was about 15, and have finally given in and started my own photography business.
I'm crossing my fingers it grows strong, and I can make a living from doing what I love.

If you are here visiting and looking at my photos...PLEASE leave comments. I would love to hear what brought you here, and your thoughts on my photography. It is one of the best ways to learn and grow as a photographer. :)

Lucy's 10 Lives says:

"Love coming here with a cup of tea and just breathe in the beauty through Lisa's lens."

"Lisa's warm and playful personality comes through in her work. She is an inspiration as an artist, with her amazing compositions and style, and as a human being, with her thought provoking titles. Her work on flickr has drawn well deserved rave reviews for the quality of her Bokeh shots as well as the sheer beauty of her nature images. The way in which she draws the viewer in, sometimes to a dreamlike world of sharp colors and vivid lines, with her use of color and framing amazes and inspires at the same time. I am excited whenever she posts a new image to see what new ways she has cooked up to stir my imagination!"

"Lisa's stream is amazing. I am actually in shock that her profile isn't bursting at the seams with testimonials!!!

Her work is like a breath of fresh air. I can always identify her photos from the thumbnail in my contacts, as they are always without a doubt completely and utterly beautiful. She is a true artiste.

Lovely to know you Lisa. Keep up the gorgeous work :)"
