Kind Words From My Clients

    We love our Heirloom Portraits! They are truly keepsakes and Lisa was great to work with!

    Lizey B.

    Lisa is wonderful! She has an eye for capturing the perfect moment and has given us the most precious photographs of our son. Highly recommend her!

    Krystal C.

    Lisa was wonderful to work with! She’s so warm and was very understanding of the limitations of working with an 18 month old for a photo shoot. We are so happy with the final framed photos too!

    Kate D.

    We had a wonderful experience working with Lisa for an heirloom portrait for our two year old. The finished product was stunning, and Lisa made the entire process seamless. She was very patient working with my toddler, which is not easy! I can’t wait to enjoy the portrait for years to come.

    Lucy B.

    Lisa puts a lot of thought and creativity into her process and she makes it very easy for you to be a part of it. The end result is something you will love. She had great ideas for our young girls and she let them be themselves and have fun. We now have a beautiful, framed portrait that really shows the personality of our children. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to capture a unique photo at any stage of life.

    Chrys L.

    We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Lisa! She made the process very easy and we got an absolutely perfect Heirloom Portrait of our daughter. Lisa is kind, welcoming, and extremely easy to work with. She had cookies and toys ready for us when we arrived for photos and hand-delivered the final product once it was ready. I cannot say enough good things about the experience. I would recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a photographer.

    Emily B.

    I love my Heirloom Portrait from Lisa! I will cherish it forever. My son was not cooperative at all and Lisa still managed to capture a perfect natural smile that just looks like him – the framed piece came out just I was able to use the digital version for our Christmas photo too which was an added bonus. I definitely plan to use Lisa Maco Photography again in the future!

    Annie M.

    I highly recommend Lisa! She was amazing! She made me feel comfortable during the session, which made taking pictures feel more natural. She was very attentive and cared about what I wanted and my opinion on how the pictures should turn out. Customer service and the portrait itself turned out amazing! Will definitely come back here again!

    Isaias G.

    Wonderful experience and quality headshot! Lisa was warm, welcoming, professional, and very good at her job. About 24 hours after my quick and effective session, I had a professional headshot in hand to help me launch my LinkedIn profile. Very grateful for Lisa and her work!

    Olivia K.

    We are so very pleased with Lisa’s photos of our extended family! Lisa had ideas and came to my home to show me possibilities. Afterward, she was super patient as we mulled over the photos to make a final decisions. My advice is this: even if you don’t know what you want — don’t hesitate. Time passes. Lisa will help you figure out something you will be delighted with and you will have fun doing it.
