Hi! I’m Lisa. Thanks for stopping by my blogsite! If you don’t already know me I thought I would share who is behind the camera at Lisa Phillipson Photography. I’m the one you will primarily work with so here is some info for you to get to know me better: I grew up in Alabama and graduated from Auburn University. I’m an Auburn girl and I love to go back there every chance I get. My whole family loves Auburn Football! I moved to Smyrna, Georgia after graduating and have been here ever since. My husband, Andy, and I now call it home. We have two active boys that have given me character, gray hair and enough laughter for a lifetime. Evan and Alex love to play baseball and you will find us on the fields of Smyrna Little League lots of weekends. Three years ago we were blessed with a wonderfully sweet little girl, Kate. It took some getting used to, but I am loving all the pink, dancing, baby dolls and Dora that fills our home. In my free time I love to play tennis (badly) or spend time with friends.
I’ve always had a camera in my hand and still treasure the photographs I have taken over my lifetime. Having my own children has shown me how fast childhood passes by and how each stage is very precious. It has been important for me to capture the important milestones of my children’s lives. I’m so glad I have the opportunity to share that with others as well. I’m not interested in taking pictures and handing over a disc of images to my clients, but rather offering beautiful products that you can enjoy every day whether as art for your walls or luxurious albums that can be handed down as heirlooms. A disc of images will degrade and won’t last very long but the gallery wrapped canvas products I offer are expected to last over a 100 years.
Sessions with me: I am a natural light portrait photographer serving the greater Atlanta-metro area. I am based out of the Smyrna Vinings area and schedule all of my sessions on location. We can go to a favorite park, your house or whatever you might dream up. I would be happy to make some suggestions if you don’t have ideas on where you would like to meet. I’m very relaxed and unrushed and vary my shooting style based on the personalities of the children I am working with. I might be calm and quiet with some or a little crazy and silly with others. I love to capture the smiles, the wonder, the tears and everything in between. In my images I like to show who children really are and not just what they look like. I want to beautifully capture what is so special about each child just the way God has made them.
Newborn sessions: I love love love babies and enjoy my newborn sessions so much (because I get to hold them!). These run a little big longer than a regular session to allow for lots of feeding and changing breaks. These session are best before a baby is 2 weeks old. You can contact me for more information on Newborn Sessions.
Again, thanks for stopping by. Feel free to contact me by email or phone if you have any questions or concerns about anything.
