Hey heeey ! I’m LisA…
I am a portrait and commercial photographer and director, moonlighting as a yoga instructor.
I am most known for my vivacious energy and soulful perspective of life and humanity. I have a unique way of connecting and directing people, which works phenomenally with clients who want to expand how they can express themselves.
I believe that we should pursue all that sets our souls on fire! This belief has lead me to build strong relationships with some of the most innovative minds, locally and internationally.
My education from the Academy of Art University, the 15 years of production experience, non-profit and business development work as well as personal development work has given me a well rounded perspective of life in the creative and wellness industries.
Pro-active in the fitness and art communities I have found my creative focus surrounding themes of self expression, using photography as a tool to communicate who we are and what we have to offer including the impact we have on others. This approach pairs beautifully with individual clients as well as larger agencies and corporations who want to be better understood and connected.
As of 2023 I became the Director of the San Francisco chapter of American Photographic Artists. This non-profit organization works to bring professional and emerging photographers and crew together to support and elevate the growth of our careers and industry as a whole. We lead workshops, provide business resources and host year round events including portfolio reviews, photo exhibitions and competitions.
I am available for photography and production work and I absolutely LOVE meeting new people so please, introduce yourself !

PERSONAL PROJECT
In the start of the pandemic of 2020 I found the early development of a mural project in San Francisco that a pair of public art producer friends of mine were starting. I felt, with every part of my being, that this project was a POWERFUL one. I jumped in immediately and began documenting the work and running public relations which helped to develop and express the overall heart and tone of the project. What began as a hopeful endeavor became one of the most notable projects of the covid pandemic in the Bay Area, and one of the most impactful projects of my career thus far. Paint the Void was awarded the SXSW community service award of 2021, has been featured in many publications and philanthropic festivals across the country and received multiple grants from the city of San Francisco to continue its efforts. The Project has been archived as an Art Book.
