Creating Unforgettable Moments

Every person, couple or family that comes to Lister’s Lens is unique in their needs. 

We want our clients to feel our excitement that comes from getting to know them and their families.  We do our very best at capturing “real life” memories. 

OUR APPROACH

Let's Make This Easy

The time spent in front of the lens should not be stressful.  During our sessions we strive for a relaxed atmosphere. Time is always allowed for play, music, dance and laughter. We will definitely get the posed shots but will also include several candid “I didn’t know you got that” photos that may just end up as favorites.

OUR SERVICES

Senior Photography Sessions

Working with teenagers is one of my very favorite things!  (I was a school counselor in my previous career). This makes Senior Photography one of my specialities. Highlighting special talents and interests during the session is especially fun! I’m always up for trying something new! As with all of our sessions, helping our Senior clients feel confident and comfortable is our goal. After that, the real magic can happen!

Children & Families

Whether you have a family photo session annually or every couple of years (or even if it has been several years), investing in these memories is important. David Krause, a licensed psychologist from Cleveland, Ohio says, “I think it is really important to show a family as a family unit.  A photographer’s job is to create and make the image look like a safe holding space for kids where they are safe and protected. Kids get it on a really simple level.” I love being able to help families create tangible artwork to hang in their homes.   

Extended Families

In the past extended family units lived in the same town if not in the same home. This is rare today. Extended family sessions often highlight the similarities among family units. I often hear from previous clients how thankful they are that they took the time to have portraits taken with their parents and grandparents. Ferris Bueller said it best, “Life moves pretty fast.  If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” Make sure you don’t miss capturing your important life moments with those you love.

Engagements, Weddings & Elopements

Becoming engaged and planning a wedding requires many decisions. The choice of a photographer is an important one. But it doesn’t have to be difficult. Being comfortable with the person you choose is absolutely necessary, as they will be with you the entire day. At Lister’s Lens we specialize in small, intimate weddings which provide us the opportunity to give the individual attention to our couples. Planning to elope? Let us tag along! While the ceremony will be private, you will want to announce the marriage with stunning photos.

TESTIMONIALS

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

I’m so happy with all of the photos we took.  I loved that things weren’t awkward.   Lisa helped me get out of my shell during the session so we got the best pictures we could!  All the photos were so good and I loved every single one of them!

MYRA SILVEY

Senior Photography Client

Lisa was amazing!  She took her time to be sure my children were comfortable during their session.  Lisa played a few of our favorite Disney songs, and the next thing we knew the kids were dancing and loving the session even more! We had a mini session, and Lisa had our pictures completed in great time. They look fantastic and I’m extremely happy with them!  I cannot wait for our next session!

FAQS

What is the investment?

Here is a link to my current Pricing Guide. If you do not see a package that fits your needs, let me know! I am happy to customize a package for you.

What is the process at Lister's Lens?

After making an inquiry/booking request on the website, Lisa will contact you to confirm a time, date and location.  A contract will be sent for signatures and a deposit will be collected. Planning the session is the next step and will be super fun. Then it is on to Session Day! And lastly, you will receive your images via a digital platform where you can save, share and print.

How do I know what to wear during a session?

I will provide a “What to Wear” guide and will help you decide clothing for you and your family if requested. We can meet prior to make decisions about colors, patterns, etc.

Do you have tips for how to make the day successful?

I have several strategies that I will share with you to help make your session the absolute best day ever. Included are suggestions for the best colors for outfits and take the time to get rid of wrinkles in clothing before your session, whether that is with an iron or some wrinkle reducer. Your nails will show so make sure that polish isn’t chipped. Leave the phone in the car and take off the Apple Watch. And mostly, be comfortable and be yourself!
