About Lisa

I struggle every time I try to write about myself. I don’t like to focus on myself. I guess that’s why I have chosen to document the lives of others, to tell the stories of their best and worst moments and everything between.

When I realized I love making pictures more than anything else, I felt it was too selfish because it was what I loved to do. How could I help anyone with photography? When I discovered photojournalism I found my answer. I found a way to educate and hopefully open readers’ eyes to a world in ways they may not have seen it before.

My desire above all is to tell stories which would otherwise not be told. I strive every day to uphold the legacy female photojournalists have built as compassionate and intimate storytellers.
