Launch Day 2 • Business Spotlight: Image by Lisa

Meet Lisa. She’s the owner of Image by Lisa and has rocked her business from day one. I met Lisa years ago when she was did a Spa Party at a friends house. Since then, she’s grown from Spa Diva to beauty guru and is has a heart for educating women in addition to getting them ready for their weddings, photos and events.

During a consultation with Lisa, she will

  • walk you though an entire look
  • address each of your biggest concerns
  • you will leave with a list of exactly what was used, colors, and where to buy everything
  • a cheat sheet and a list of tools to purchase

It’s very step by step and I had the opportunity to witness it first hand when I stopped by last week to take some pictures of her in action.

Lisa’s heart for helping women present their most confident self goes beyond her one-on-one consultations. She has a thriving online social presence where she shares weekly videos including Makeup Tip Monday- LIVE on Facebook every Monday or on her Youtube page weekly, along with blog posts to go with it. Last week’s video was a tutorial about using that spongy Beauty Blender. I could get lost watching and reading all of Lisa’s helpful tips. She has a sea of knowledge and is excited to share it.

Although Lisa uses and promotes all makeup brands, she has recently aligned with Arbonne to provide her clients with their everyday basics. Not only is she able to teach women how to do their own makeup, but she is able to connect them to the exact colors used by connecting them to Arbonne. Lisa is also an outspoken advocate for life and is donating half of her retail profits from her Arbonne sales this month to A Women’s Pregnancy Center.

She is generously participating in the promotion of my website launch by giving away one of her one-on-one make up consultations. After seeing her in action and watching how well she teaches her clients, I’ve asked her to book one of these sessions for myself!

And because we all love a good before-and-after, here are some of her recent clients as well as Lisa herself.

The link to the specifics for Lisa’s giveaway are included in the box at the bottom of this post.  It’s pretty straight forward and I’m using Rafflecopter to help keep track of everyone’s entry to ensure a fair winner. Best of luck to you!

Mom post here:

I am teary eyed as I type this. Today was the last Elementary Chapel for this 5th grade class (my son’s class). During this “Legacy Chapel” they passed the leadership plaque down to the 4th graders as they prepare to be next year’s lower school leaders.

I am so proud of our current 5th graders. This class has navigated more than anyone would have ever imagined and they have a unique bond amongst each other on this side of those collective pains. They started Kindergarten the year of the pandemic and have seen firsthand the hurt of sickness and death in this fallen world. 

Still, they are joyful, playful, hard working, and compassionate in a way that constantly surprises me. No doubt that God has great things in store for them; and our school community is beyond blessed to have each and every one of them and their families as a part of it.

Class of 2033, let’s go!
What my portfolio doesn't tell you about me
When was the last time you looked at an old family photo and thought, 'I wish fewer people were in this'?

Probably never.

That is exactly why I always say yes when families ask whether they should include the grandparents, the cousins, the aunt and uncle who are only in town for a few days.

When you are not sure, say yes anyway. We will find a way to make it work.
A few things I want every family to know before a multigenerational session.

Start with the group shot - always. I photograph the full group first, before anything else, so every person in attendance (including the ones who drove the farthest) knows the most important image is already done. From there, we move through smaller groupings with a lighter energy.

Tell me about mobility before we choose a location. If a grandparent or family member has any physical considerations, I need to know before we land on a spot. There is always a way to create beautiful images that honor everyone present - I just need to know what we are working with so I can plan for it.

Mornings are almost always better for the little ones. Babies and toddlers are near-universally happier before the afternoon hits. When multiple generations are present, timing the session well makes a real difference in the energy of the whole group.

And if there are any family dynamics I should be aware of - specific pairings that need extra care, or groupings you would prefer I not suggest - please tell me. It keeps everything moving warmly, and it protects everyone from an awkward moment in front of the camera.

Planning is how multigenerational sessions go well. I am always happy to talk it through before your session date. Contact me through my website, link in bio.
