About Lisa: Lisa grew up in Thunder Bay, ON and has been involved with horses all of her life. As a pre teen she started competing in gymkhanas. Since than she has done a little showing and enjoys hours of trail riding. After this her new interests were getting cow events (cutting, working horse & ranch horse competitions) off of the ground in her area (Thunder Bay, ON). Photography interest started as a hobby when Lisa was in her late teens when her now husband had given her, her very first film SLR camera. After becoming married and having two children the interest increased since a camera seemed to be attached to her, taking pictures of every moment and milestone of the two little ones. She decided to use her passion and started taking pictures for clients and at events in 2008. She has taken pictures for the Manitoba Rodeo Cowboys Association in 2007- 2011. Lisa has had pictures published in local calendars as well as Manitoba’s Rodeo Associations newspaper “The Cowboy”. In 2011 & 2012 Lisa was the official photographer for the Canadian High School Cutting Finals in Virden, Manitoba. It was a great experience and so much fun.

In July, 2012 her and her family relocated to Souris, Manitoba. They are excited to start their new adventures on their 160 acre farm.

Lisa's newest venture is designing website banners, business cards and logos for clients. Be sure to check out the 'Design Gallery' for some examples of Lisa's designing work.

To Lisa, photography is more than a job. It is her passion as she strives for excellence in that one “perfect shot”.
