This was submitted by Tom and Bethany who got married in October 2009- I feel blessed to have a job that I love so much while at the same time being able to make a difference to the people I work with.

“Lisa, we have to say that you provided the only calming effect amidst the storm, during our wedding. You were there from our engagement to the last departing guest of our wedding; providing insight and guidance to all while being ever patient with coordinators and grandmothers alike. Your knowledge and experience are reflected in every exposure. Plus your smile and kind words always put Bethany and I in the perfect mood”

This was submitted by an incredible woman who I was fortunate to meet and get to know while photographing
her senior pictures a couple years ago:

“A photograph is an easy thing to take. With a camera in hand, anyone can click a button. However, it takes a true artist to be able to capture a persons being and self in a photograph. This is exactly what Lisa does. She makes her subject feel at ease and really gets to know them. Her camera captures a persons personality, quirks, and inner beauty. It isn’t just a click of the camera capturing a picture, but a click that captures a part of someone’s life and the meaning behind the photo. In her pictures you can practically feel someone’s love, excitement, or innocence as if the feelings were your own. This all is the definition of Lisa Richmond, the artist who captures life in her lens.”
