It started with looking at old family photos and then starting an addiction to those glossy pages of magazines.  I would cut out pictures that "spoke" to me and make collages...or something like a vision board.

I got a degree in math & computer science...all the while, loving photography.  Odd mix right?  When my boys were babies, I started to take my love of photography to the next level and learn all I could about lighting, camera functions, posing and developing my style.  After reading endless books, taking local classes, enrolling in the NY Institute of Photography and working with mentors, I decided to focus on hands-on experience and growing my own personal style. I then took a leap of faith and became an accidental entrepreneur and that is where Lisa Carpenter Photography started in 2007.

Since then, I have traveled nationally and internationally working with amazing clients and many have become friends.  I LOVE what I do! 

My camera went with me everywhere!

I was the girl with the yellow Canon Snappy in college...
