Photographer, Lisa Brown, completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Illustration in 1996. With an extensive background in art, design, and photography, Lisa began her career painting fine art oil paintings. Her primary business was painting commissioned portraits. Using her photographic skills, Lisa would take photos of her clients and use the photos to create her paintings. She would typically set up lighting, help with costuming, backgrounds and posing to create the image she was after and then paint for approximately 80-1000 hours to finish the final portrait.
After receiving many requests for photography, Lisa expanded her business to include photography as well. Eventually, Lisa decided to become a full time photographer and went to work for another photographer for two years to learn the business. She then opened her own business and photographed 30 weddings the first year. Now she chooses to focus on 20-25 weddings a year offering specialty, high quality photography.
