About Lisa
My journey into photography began with a simple yet life changing gift. A camera from my husband. I was handed this piece of equipment and had zero idea how to use it.
Our family vacations, day to day life became my canvas, and I was instantly hooked. I am self taught with MANY trials and errors but I knew way back then that this was the career path for me.
What started as a casual interest quickly grew into a deep passion. I found myself experimenting with angles, lighting, and composition, eager to learn more about the art of photography. Friends and family soon started asking for my help with their events, and each request was a new adventure that further fueled my enthusiasm.
Then one day I had a phone call from a very stressed bride. Her photographer cancelled on them 2 weeks out from their wedding and they were given my name to reach out to. INSERT PANIC! After much discussion, we agreed that I would shoot the day.
I immediately went into research mode and the day finally arrived. Not only did I photograph the wedding but the clients were happy and I was beyond happy to know I had definitely found my new career.
Over the last 21 years I have pushed myself to learn everyday and I have photographed over 1000 weddings, countless families, events and so on.
After photographing on average 50 + wedding a year for the last 21 years I have now decided moving forward to cut that number down. So get in quick if you would like to me be part of your day.
The Important Questions
Hot coffee, cold weather, rain, pj’s till noon. Catch up with my boys, takeaway dinner and a movie on the recliner cuddling the cats.
Iced black coffee in the morning and sparkling water with lime the rest of the day.
We have 2 cats but I literally love all animals. If I could I would have a pet red panda to cuddle, a flamingo in the yard and a few owls floating around.
Oooh, tough one but Tiramisu is up there.
Iceland, without hesitation.
Just be kind..always.
My human babies
The gooey part of the about me section. Apart from their dad, these 2 are the absolute loves of my life. I count myself so very lucky to have 2 beautiful, healthy, loving boys who have grown into the most gorgeous men.
There aren’t enough words to explain how much I love them.
Everything I do is for them
My fur babies
My 2 fluffy companions aren’t too far from my feet when I am home and love a snuggle at night.
Odin loves a cuddle and a brush. He’s a Maine Coon with so much personality. He announces everytime he is having a drink and whenever I am in the kitchen he thinks it is dinner time.
He unfortunately has feline leukemia. Christmas eve 2021 we were told he had around 2 months to live. So far he is defying ALL odds and we are so happy he is.
Pearl the ragdoll, what can I say about Pearl apart from her being completely neurotic, a bit broken, barks like a dog, gets the zoomies a lot and loves cuddles, when it suits her and no other time.
She jumps in bed with me every morning for a quick snuggle before she’s had enough of humans in her space. We just adore her crazy ways.
Why me?
I am a wife, a mum of 2 sons and 2 cat’s a self confessed polka dot lover, music is ALWAYS on in our home.
I LOVE to travel and try to go somewhere at least once a year, even if it is a short drive away.
I like to approach each shoot with a crystal clear understanding of what is expected from me. Every new booking sees me preparing like crazy. From researching locations, lighting, best spots to photograph right through to google mapping.
Does it sound like we would be a good match? Use the contact form today to let me know about your shoot.
Alongside weddings, I also photograph corporate and branding work through a dedicated site at lisalent.au
