Welcome to this little piece of the internet I get to call my own! I'm Lisa, a Kamloops BC portrait, wedding and commercial photographer. I specialize in photography that is both timeless and that has a creative, modern edge. I am best known for putting people at ease in front of the camera, and for my ability to draw out my client's personality and capture that personality with my camera.

And, in all honesty, being able to do that with and for my clients brings me great joy in my work! I have a beautiful studio in downtown Kamloops. In the studio I shoot beauty portraits, personal branding clients, high school grads, headshots and corporate teams and I also love shooting the occasional vogue style family session in there!
Services
I define my style of portrait sessions as "Fashion Magazine Style, Modern & Personality Driven". Think magazine cover. My portrait sessions are a celebration of you and of this time in your life, an experience where every minute is meant to make you look and feel incredible in your own skin.

While my main focuses in my portrait work are women, grads, model portfolios and couples sessions (see below for more info on those services), variety truly IS the spice of life and I'd love to hear about your session idea!The heart of contemporary portrait photography, for me, is the desire to remind women how beautiful they are.
I am a wedding and elopement photographer, capturing wedding stories and beautiful moments for couples in Kamloops, the Okanagan, Kelowna, Penticton, Abbotsford, Vancouver, across Canada and around the world. It's your wedding day. No matter how many guests you have or where the celebration is happening, it's going to be an epic, once in a lifetime event!
I won't expect your toddler to sit perfectly still, and I won't expect your reluctant teenager to smile. And I also won't expect everything to go according to plan. My baby sessions are almost always in the home. Some families like to have the photos done while their baby is still very newborn, and others prefer to wait until their baby is a bit more interactive.
Building a brand is the best way to show your audience what you know and why you know it. It will help set you apart from others in your field who haven't taken the time to build their own personal brand. It's more difficult for brands to thrive without clear imagery - it engages your audience and helps build trust.
Studio 2 is a studio space available to rent by the hour or by the day for Kamloops photographers and videographers. At 500+ square feet of space, Studio 2 is the perfect size for your next photoshoot, suitable for headshots, corporate team photos in studio family sessions, food and product shoots and more.

Lisa was the photographer for our wedding this year and she was an absolute joy to work with. She was very responsive, flexible, and very professional throughout the whole process. She did so many things to make our wedding day go as smooth as it could and the quality of the photography was excellent. I honestly cannot recommend Lisa enough. Thank you so much.

Lisa was excellent!
She was very professional, responsive, informative, and accommodating.
The photos of our teammates that she did headshots for look fantastic,
she allowed each staff member to choose the one that they liked best right on the spot and edited it before she sent it to me to put up on our website.
Our team had a great time with her, she was very friendly, I had the photos in a very reasonable amount of time, and I would definitely do business with her again.
Thanks Lisa

Lisa is an absolute Pro. Her ability to capture genuine aspects of personality is truly incredible and I am so grateful to have marketing materials that actually reflect who I am. From her stunning studio to her natural knack for making her clients feel (and look) comfortable, the experience from start to finish was amazing. Thank you so much Lisa!

I don' t really like posing for pictures - Lisa did a great job of making our session super lighthearted, natural and fun. I will definitely be a repeat customer. She is extremely professional, gives great direction to get your best angle and is easy to chat with. Definitely would recommend for corporate head and body shots.

Lisa is such a gifted photography and wonderful human being. I LOVE working with her for professional head shots or team photos to personal, casual family shots. She has been flexible in booking and works extremely hard on all details of the shoot to ensure the end product is consistently excellent. The value is exceptional and I will continue to work with her for all my photography needs.
