I want clients who don’t value what I do.

Said no one, ever.

I’m here to help your dream clients see your value.

When clients really value you, they put you first on their list, and they’re willing to pay you more than someone else, because they believe in you and trust you as a professional.

But your clients need help — you can’t expect them to just trip over your website and book you because you’re there. They need to see how you’re different from your competition, and how you’re uniquely capable of helping them with what they need.

They need to feel what it’s like to work with you.

Hi, I'm Lisa.

I’m a wife, friend, dog momma, ambivert, communicator, and entrepreneur (who happens to love weddings). 🖤

After 8 years in the Chicago wedding industry, I started to see that lots of wedding professionals were getting by with using the same images of other people’s weddings — and they all looked the same! So I broke out and started offering brand photography to those wedding creatives I love, and in the process, discovered they were all so unique, and had so many incredible differences…but their brand photos weren’t telling that story!

So now I work with other creative entrepreneurs, just like you. Let’s celebrate your brand’s stories with unique images that set you apart and help your audience feel what it’s like to work with you.

#notgonnalie, this isn’t for everyone…

You’re probably ready if:

+ You’re excited to work with an expert to take your brand to the next level.

+ YOU’VE GOT A SOLID BRAND, BUT DON’T HAVE A CONSISTENT COLLECTION OF IMAGES.

+ YOU’RE LOOKING AHEAD AND REALIZE YOU DON’T HAVE THE IMAGES YOU NEED FOR YOUR WEBSITE OR LAUNCH CONTENT.

+ YOU’RE TIRED OF SCRAPING TOGETHER A HODGEPODGE OF PROFESSIONAL IMAGES AND PHONE PHOTOS THAT DON’T LOOK CONSISTENT, OR EVEN TELL THE STORY OF YOUR BRAND.

on the other hand, we might not be a good fit if…

You want to do a session in the next several days, you're looking for "just a few headshots," or you love the idea but you’re not able to make the commitment to doing this type of deep work on your brand at this time.

You can download all my session pricing info HERE — but most clients spend on average $2500 for brand photography.

How much does a brand session cost?

Absolutely! Each session includes a full gallery of beautifully edited images from your session (usually around 80-90 images for a 3-hour shoot).

Does the price include the images from my session?

Yes! I LOVE involving design creatives on the process of planning your photos. I think having a good web designer is super important, read my thoughts about it HERE!

Will you work with my web designer?

Every gallery comes with online high-res & Web-res files for you to download, as well as a commercial usage license.

Will I get the high-resolution files?

I got you! I have a great collection of curated locations throughout Chicagoland that you can rent for your shoot (at all different price points!).

My place isn’t very cute…where can we do our session?

Pretty much everywhere! If you want to get some ideas of how you can use your images, download my free PDF…..

Where can I use the photos?

You've got questions,
I've got answers.
