Kind Words From My Clients

    I highly recommend Lisa! She was amazing! She made me feel comfortable during the session, which made taking pictures feel more natural. She was very attentive and cared about what I wanted and my opinion on how the pictures should turn out. Customer service and the portrait itself turned out amazing! Will definitely come back here again!

    Wonderful experience and quality headshot! Lisa was warm, welcoming, professional, and very good at her job. About 24 hours after my quick and effective session, I had a professional headshot in hand to help me launch my LinkedIn profile. Very grateful for Lisa and her work!

    Olivia K.

    Lisa did an excellent job creating a set of 3 headshots for me for my new business. She is so good at what she does – taking the time to position me and set each shot up perfectly. She also provided just the right amount of retouching – where I still look like “me”, but a little better! I highly recommend Lisa for any of your photography needs!!

    Sonia S.

    I had a fantastic experience working with Lisa! She brought warmth and patience to what can often be an intimidating process, making the photo shoot feel relaxed and enjoyable. I felt like I was chatting with an old friend. On top of that, her guidance was clear and thoughtful, and the final photos turned out beautifully!

    Katie S.

    Great experience with Lisa while taking professional headshots for my upcoming job search! She was very inviting and personable which helped me relax and produced an excellent photo. If she can help me to look my best, she can do it for you too! Highly recommended/wife approved!

    Nicholas K.

    Lisa was a joy to work with! Responsive, clear communication, easy to book, and so helpful in preparing for my first professional headshots. She made the experience so easy and I had exactly what I needed so quickly – it was under a day from shot to completed image which totally exceeded my expectations!

    Jessica A.

    It was very easy to get an appointment with Lisa and she gave clear directions. The headshots turned out better than I could have known with her directions for posing and lighting. Hoping to do some family portraits after seeing her other work.

Behind the Lens

Meet Lisa Maco

I believe taking portraits of your family and displaying them in your home helps your children feel loved, valued, and important. Your family is a work of art. Let’s collaborate to create art of your family so you can share your story in a way that will last through the generations. Your kids will feel the love and so will you!

I spent 20 years in the corporate world and now I’m an entrepreneur running my own photo studio. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me playing the piano, walking my dog, or trying to keep my cat from walking on my keyboard.
