A masterpiece–the greatest work in a person’s lifetime. Ask any mom what her masterpiece is…the answer is undoubtedly her children. Local mom Lisa Carothers, owner and photographer at In His Image Photography, uses that inspiration to create works of art.

It started with the birth of Lisa’s first child. Lisa says, “I picked up my camera to capture the priceless moments. As she grew, my love for photography grew, too. I realized my passion could be a wonderful profession.” Lisa honed her skills and developed her natural talent by training with some of the best photographers in Houston and San Antonio, as a member of the Professional Photographers Guild of Houston.

Today, over ten years later, Lisa can be your family portrait photographer for every stage of life: babies, children, high school seniors, engagements, bridal portraits and weddings. Lisa’s passion is working with natural light and her gift is recognizing that special smile or expression that makes an individual or a family unique. Her clients enjoy the opportunity to be themselves. Lisa says, “As a mother of three, I understand a mom’s and wife’s perspective and what we want portrayed in family portraits. My own family has taught me so much…from making sessions fun for small children to helping men and boys relax and enjoy themselves. With teenagers of my own, I know how important it is to create a great rapport. I capture them in a way that expresses that teen’s personal style, that both the teen and parents love.”

Once your photographic portraits are created, they can become a work of art! Lisa says, “We offer classic photographic portraits printed on professional papers by our lab, and one of my unique offerings is Fine Art portraiture. We print the portraits on Fine Art papers… like our Giclee watercolor portraits that are hand torn or museum wrap canvas prints. And for our finest offerings, I work with local artists, Carmen Sanchez-Romero and La Von Westfall, to create stunningly beautiful art pieces from my photographic portraits of your loved ones.. These pieces can be pencil, pastel, or oil portraits. What better art to display in your home?”
