About Lisa Donahue Photography

I am blessed to have a special gift for connecting with people (especially with the little ones)! I have a way of making the most camera shy of people not even realize that they are being photographed -- they actually love every minute! It is my true passion in life to capture laughter, love, and precious moments!

I had such a great experience working with Lisa! She photographed me for my Pilates business, and I absolutely loved how the photos turned out! She was professional, friendly, patient, and made the entire photoshoot feel comfortable and fun. She has a great eye for capturing beautiful moments, natural poses, and little details that really make a difference. I especially appreciated how she helped bring my vision to life while making the whole experience enjoyable. I'm so happy to have these photos to represent my business, and I would definitely recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a talented photographer. Thank you, Lisa!

Lisa came to my home and spent more than 3 hours with me, my dog and my cat! We took photos in my house, outside and in the canals. My photos are for my web site. Could not be happier! Highly recommend her!

Lisa was so wonderful, and I will definitely hire her again. She photographed my son’s surprise engagement and did such a fantastic job that it’s hard to choose my favorite pics. Lisa was very responsive, arrived on time, and went out her way to make sure that my son and his new fiance had every shot they wanted…and then some. Lisa is so friendly and really a team player with all of us there helping to make my son and his finance had the best experience.

Lisa was AMAZING and I could not be happier with the quality of her work. I hired Lisa to capture all the special moments for my 40th birthday party. She went above and beyond to provide beautiful, quality photographs of every aspect of my party from candid moments to the tiniest details. I will definitely use her again in the future and I highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a professional, punctual (and fun!!) photographer.

Lisa was our photographer for our daughter’s third birthday party. She is AMAZING. She was very nice and responsive from the moment I found her and asked her many questions before choosing her. The day of the party she was so kind, on time, took hundreds of pictures of many details I wouldn’t think of, and I love the quality of the pictures. I was almost crying when I saw the pictures for how beautiful they turned out! I’m so happy I listened to my friend to use this app and that I found Lisa. I highly recommend her and I will definitely hire her again when I need pictures taken. You won’t be disappointed at all!

I am so so grateful to have found Lisa! She photographed my best friend’s daughter’s very special 1st birthday. It was outdoors at Temescal Canyon Park, inspired by fairies and a midsummer night’s dream, we needed a photographer who could capture special moments in the most natural way.. Lisa was punctual, she came with a big smile and an incredibly positive vibe which made us all like her a lot and she blended in not missing a special moment. Her professionalism and attention to detail show in all the photos she captured. Thank you thank you so much Lisa!

Lisa was great! She was on time, professional and easy to talk to. Her photos are amazing- I hired her for my 1 year olds bday and they turned out great and being able to capture children is not an easy job. They turned out great but I don’t share her face out so I’ll attach some others on here. I’d be happy to hire Lisa again.

Working with Lisa was a pure pleasure!! She is just the kindest and most wonderful person, and a great photographer of course. I am grateful to her for capturing our precious moments, and it was super fun having her at my birthday party.

We hired Lisa to do an in-home newborn shoot with our 16 day old baby and we were completely blown away by our experience! Lisa was incredibly kind, responsive and committed to getting us the absolute best pictures that we will forever treasure. She took her time to ensure each shot was perfect and was beyond patient when we wanted to incorporate our two dogs into the photos (Lisa even helped wrangle and lure them with treats to get the shot)! We are in love with our family pictures and wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again. Thank you Lisa!

I had the pleasure of working with Lisa for a recent photoshoot and I couldn't be more impressed. her attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism were exceptional. Not only did she capture stunning and unique shots, but she also made the whole experience enjoyable and comfortable. I highly recommend Lisa for anyone looking for high-quality photography services. I will definitely be working with her again in the future!

Lisa was wonderful! She arrived right on time and blended into our event perfectly. Her gift of capturing the essence of the party and every guest is truly amazing. I am so happy we hired Lisa for our party!

Lisa exceeded all expectations! You never know what the experience will entail when you have not yet worked with someone; Lisa was punctual, professional, kind and someone I completely trusted in my home just minutes after meeting her. Lisa photographed my family event celebrating my 95yr old Nani and we will hire her for all events moving forward. She captured emotions and the authenticity of our family dynamic, I couldn’t be more pleased with the service & photos. Lisa was AMAZING!!!

Lisa from the start was very responsive and asked all the right questions when preparing to photograph my convalidation wedding/vow renewal. What impressed me the most was her ENERGY! Her Great attitude made it easy to smile. My family even asked me to keep her number for future events. Thanks Lisa!

Lisa was Amazing! She engaged with our family without us having to introduce her. Her professionalism, creativeness and friendly smile made everyone feel comfortable around the camera. We celebrated our daughter’s quinceañera (sweet 15) as a hispanic tradition we had family from Mexico and Guatemala at the event. Lisa was so fun and engaged with everyone although she didn’t speak Spanish 😊…She arrived before the event started and we saw her as part of our familia. Highly recommend her ❤️

Lisa was fantastic! 5+ stars. She was highly responsive and accommodating when it came to planning and scheduling. She also showed up right on time for our family photo shoot. Lisa was great with our kids and made the whole experience easy and fun. Even my husband who isn’t isn’t these types of things admitted he enjoyed the experience. The photos turned out great, and we will cherish them for years to come. Thanks, Lisa!
