There aren’t words to describe how much we loved working with Lisa! From our first correspondence, I knew she was the perfect fit for us. She was the first vendor we booked as she came with awesome recommendations from two couples we know and we knew she would book up quickly. Our engagement shoot was a breeze, more like hanging out with a friend than meeting a stranger. She even got smiles out of my very stoic fiancé. Her questionnaires ensure that she will capture the best sides of you and all the moments you want to remember. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and looking the pictures made me feel all of the love all over again. We have memories that we will cherish forever. Book her. Now!!! Photography is one thing you don’t want to chance or pinch pennies on, it’s all you have left when your big day is over! More...

They say pictures is worth a 1,000 words! Then you go find that person! But if you want a picture that will leave you speechless, then stop by Lisa! She was incredible. She works with people, to say she’s awesome, she’s passionate and her worker Micah shares the same feelings. To say thank you isn’t enough but if you want to choose someone stop here! More...

We hired Lisa after an issue we experience early on in our wedding planning process. She had done a wedding for someone I knew so I already had an idea of how great she was,however, I didn’t realize at the time how truly talented and wonderful of a photographer she is. We were able to get our engagement photo session set up exactly when we wanted and she made the planning process for the wedding so easy for me. The day of the wedding her and her second shooter worked with my bundle of craziness and made sure that my husband and I were getting everything we wanted. She even made sure that my doggo was in pictures and part of our special day (which was super important to me). Our wedding photos are so beautiful and the best part was how quickly we were able to get them back. If you are looking for a great, dog loving, lightning obsessed photographer for you wedding (which you should be) then you should absolutely hire Lisa! More...

Lisa was my photographer on my wedding day! Her package was very reasonably priced and it included our amazing engagement session! I hired Lisa because of her commitment to dog rescue - she does lots of photography for dogs in need of homes and fosters/saves dogs for local rescues. My dogs were part of my wedding and my engagements session, so I needed someone with experience photographing dogs. My pictures were AMAZING and Lisa was totally on the ball with our timeline and ceremony/reception. I would definitely recommend Lisa for all of your photography needs!!! More...

Ive had the pleasure of meeting Lisa 6 years ago when she worked with the Rescue I got my sweet pup from. She worked with the rescue and did my pups photo shoot which was offered by her and the rescue at the time. She was hands down amazing with both my dog and my moms senior dog during the photo shoot. After that I began following her work. I never dreamed of a wedding. But after watching her do what she loves i knew if i were to ever have a wedding or any occasion she would be the one to hire. Just looking at her work you can tell how passionate she is at what she does and the moments she captures are priceless. Her lighting technique blows my mind. As soon as I got engaged I contacted Lisa! She always responds quickly and send over any needed information quick as well. She also referred me to an amazing DJ. I am beyond excited for our engagement session this Nov. And for our Big Day next December. **Highly Recommended** More...

Lisa was awesome! She has the natural "eye" to capture the moments you want. She is very easy to work with and is open to any additional ideas. Lisa loves to travel, so even if she is not local to you, she is willing to travel. Lisa recognizes that a moment may be special to you and she captures it so you can cherish that moment for the rest of your life!!! More...

Lisa Otto is amazing!! The second I booked her I had complete peace that my wedding photos would be absolutely amazing, and they turned out even better than I could've imagined! She listened to all of my requests and even reminded me of photos I wanted but completely slipped my mind due to being in the moment on my wedding day! Lisa's photos are so clear even after the edits are done, I printed a 20×30in poster, from our engagement session, to place at our reception and it came out just perfect! Lisa you are amazing and I cannot wait to work with you again soon, thank you for everything! Without you our wedding day wouldn't have been the same! ♡♡♡ More...

Lisa is amazing. You can see that in all her excellent reviews! We picked Lisa for our wedding for a couple reasons. Firstly, she has done a wedding I was a part of and I loved the photos. She also did some family portraits for us a few years ago which we still have up and framed. Secondly, we LOVE who she is. She has a great attitude and isn't fake. She loves dogs too. :) (Sorry, had to throw that in there!) Me and my family are serious animal lovers plus my dad is a vet. She just fits right in. We love you, Lisa!! I can't wait to use you for future services for me and my family and will continue to refer you out to others! More...

I would just like to take the time to say how amazing Lisa Otto was for my wedding! She first met with my mother, husband, and I at the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay, where the reception would be held. She took her time to walk around with us and point out where certain areas would be great for pictures for our engagement shoot and our wedding. We knew right away that she was the one! For the engagement shoot, my husband and I have never been professionally photographed before and she led us each step of the way. She made us feel comfortable and she made it fun! My husband and I got married in November of 2016. She captured all the special moments of our day and we have received so many compliments about our beautiful wedding pictures. Also, Lisa sent us all of our wedding photos as soon as we got back from our honeymoon! We highly recommend Lisa Otto!! More...

Lisa does such an amazing job. We didn't meet in person until the day of the wedding but just in talking to her and our emails I felt deep down she would be the perfect fit for our wedding day. Her pricing was very reasonable and she worked with us to pick the best package to fit our needs. She has such a talent for photography and such a pleasant personality, she really made us feel at ease and natural in our poses. Thank you for making our day as special as it was, and for helping me in my panic moment before walking down the aisle. I couldn't have hand picked a better person for our wedding day!

Lisa is hands down the most amazing photographer I have come in contact with in all of my years shooting calendars for a large corporation, promotional material, and even family/personal use. Her enthusiasm for her passion, professionalism, sense of humor, and lightheartedness make her amazing to work with. You can really just click with her.

Immediately after getting engaged, I went to my one and only bridal show. Lisa Otto was there, her photos were stunning, and she was so reasonably priced. I left with her information but didn’t contact her until two months before our wedding after months of searching for a photographer. Her pictures stuck in my head and nothing compared to the beautiful quality and reasonable prices. She was so quick to respond and her and her assistant were so professional at our wedding. They stuck to the timeline even after having to round up all the scattered groomsmen! She was fantastic. The pictures came out absolutely beautiful and only 3 weeks after our wedding in the midst of Hurricane Irma! I couldn’t believe it. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer with excellent quality pictures that goes above and beyond for her clients! More...

Lisa Otto was an absolute blast to work with! Booking her for my wedding was the greatest decision I ever made. I chose Lisa as my wedding photographer because she took stunning photos for my friends wedding. I actually booked Lisa before I even booked my venue and I truly feel I made the right choice. Lisa was easy to talk to and her fun questionnaires allow her to get a better feel of you and what you expect from your photos. She absolutely exceeded our expectations. The morning after the wedding I woke up to some sneak peak photos on her Facebook page and just a few days into our honeymoon she had already posted photos in her blog for us to share with friends and family! Lisa was helpful in so many different ways, referring me to a kick ass DJ, getting my photos to me the fastest I've ever seen possible, sending "You got this" emails during the planning process, and even shakin' her groove thang out on the dance floor with me at the reception. Lisa is SO down to earth and was wonderful to work with! We cannot thank you enough for everything and we will definitely be using you again in the future! More...

Lisa is awesome! 2 weeks ago, I made a commitment to foster a dog in need from OCAS. His name is Ocho, He’s 8 years old, he has advanced metastasized cancer, arthritis, and heartworms, and is an extra special foster for me. He’s a hospice foster. He will live out his last days with me. With that being said, Ocho has a Bucket List and “Photo Shoot” was on it. Lisa has some connections to the rescue I am fostering Ocho with and when they asked her to be a part of his bucket list, she jumped into action to set up a date, time, and location for his pictures. With him being a hospice case and us not knowing how much time he has left, we had to make this happen ASAP and that’s exactly what Lisa did. His pictures came out amazing and we will furever cherish them � Thank you � More...

Oh what can I say about Lisa... other then she is just simply amazing!!! I first saw Lisa's photos from friends on Facebook. Of course after Facebook stalking her photos and knew if I ever got married she would be then one to do our photos. Fast forward we are engaged and I contacted Lisa 5 days later to see if she was available! We used Lisa for engagement, wedding and I even did a boudoir photo shoot for my husband who was completely shocked and loved the way the photo turned out. She is very professional and makes the whole process fun! Lisa was flexible and down for all my crazy ideas of renting golf carts to travel all around for pictures!! Another awesome thing is Lisa travels. We got married in Key West and she had already done a wedding at our same venue. We received our photos back extremely quickly which was great!

I used to work for her and I was able to see first hand just how much EFFORT and EXCELLENCE Lisa puts into the whole day.

Lisa is AMAZING. From the moment she responded to my inquiry (which was faster than most) and then making plans to meet at Bar Louie for drinks and photo talk, I had a good feeling. 5 minutes after meeting I knew we would be booking! She was a blast to work with from start to finish. We used Lisa for both engagement and wedding photos and we could not be any more satisfied. Not only is Lisa's work incredible - but she makes taking photos fun. She really meshes with you as a couple and acts more like a friend than a business partner. Lisa was so willing to come out on our boat for engagement photos and made the wedding day flow flawlessly. My wedding was exactly 2 weeks ago and I have already received my gallery of photos!

I was a bridesmaid in my beautiful sister Cami's wedding last May at the Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg, Fl and had the pleasure of working with Lisa! She was so fun to work with and since I had just gotten engaged myself I thought Id like to book her for our wedding as well! Then I saw the pictures from Cami and Chris's day and omg were they gorgeous! So then I knew I HAD to have her for our wedding too!! Thankfully she was available!!

I had a lot of requests as far as photos I wanted, our day was very untraditional and we had a lot of unique details and of course wanted it all documented. Lisa was so amazing! She was like working with an old friend! She made us feel so comfortable even during formals and was so accommodating and professional and never let me know if I was driving her crazy with all of my funky ideas! I knew having worked with her before and seeing her work that she would take my ideas and make them more beautiful than I could have imagined! And that she did!! Our pictures are absolutely amazing!! I can't believe it was real! I keep telling my husband we need a bigger house because we just don't have enough wall space for these pictures and I want to frame them all!!

Q&As

You have to get to know your clients, get to know what they like and don't like. This really comes out when you put them in front of the camera. Having that connection with clients makes a world of difference when photographing them.

This really varies depending on what I'm photographing. I'm not going to ask the same questions to a wedding client that I would a newborn client.

The reaction from clients when they receive their photos.

9 years ago it started sort of as a fluke. My youngest was just born and I started taking photos of him. Friends wanted their photos done and the ball started rolling. After working full time and photographing part time for over 4 years, 5 years ago I decided to jump ship to the corporate world and go full time as a photographer. Something I will never regret.

I do more than click a button. Your photos are something you should look back on for years to come and not have one regret. I work with you throughout the whole process, whether it's just for a couples session or your wedding, I find out what makes you click (ha, no pun intended), what your likes and dislikes are and make sure that you make our session about you and not everyone else.

Services

I think it's a little self explanatory :)

The best time to schedule your maternity session is between 32-34 weeks

The best time to schedule your newborn session is while you are still pregnant. This ensures that we will be able to schedule your session when your baby is between 5-10 days old.

Whether it's just because or for your engagement, having more then just selfies of the two of you is important. It allows you to be in front of the camera and have fun with your session
