I just realized that it is Christmas night and with all of our family hub-bub last night, I forgot to post the winner of the Giving is Awesome photo session. There were many very deserving families, but this one really stood out to me. The winner is…
Catherine and Paul Franks
Congratulations to them and to Ali Benson, who nominated them. I will be contacting all of you when I return from our family vacation in California!!!!!
I recently came across this cool little product and thought I would share it with you. Is this something you’d like to carry around to show off your session photos? I ordered one and love the quality. It’s 2.5×3 inches, so it would fit perfectly in a pocket in your purse. 
Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.
You know someone. You know someone who’s experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can’t afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family’s spirit, love, and beauty.
You know someone. I guarantee it.
I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography — $1225 worth, to be exact. That’s a free session and a disc of their images for their use.
Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a $290 credit for a session + an 8×10. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be, people?
The rules:
* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-vacation-home in Paris does not qualify as sincere financial need.)
* The nominee must reside in Tennessee, Mississippi or Arkansas within 40 miles of my Germantown home. Tell me who you know, what they’re experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.
* You must e-mail me the full story : lisa@kiralisa.com.
The winner will be announced on Christmas Eve — get nominating! I can’t wait to read all of your entries!
Open your heart to someone this holiday season — and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.
With love,
Lisa
Now go out and
These two little sweet peas are absolutely adorable and just precious! I really love photographing little babies. I love everything about them and don’t mind the fact that newborn sessions take 3-4 hours one bit. Jameson and Sutton decided on my first time to their home that they would take turns sleeping and cooperating. 
When one was asleep, the other was sleeping. I decided to come back and give it another go a few days later and it definitely paid off! Here are the a few of my favorites!
Aren’t they just perfect and precious?? If I didn’t already have 4 kids, it’d make me want to have twins!
That’s right! All gallery wraps on are sale for one week only- October 26-31. Any size 25% off! So, if you’ve had a session with me this year and you were hoping for a gallery wrap for Christmas, or want to give one for the holidays, email me and I’ll post your gallery!
