Hi, I’m Lisamarie – A commercial food and beverage photographer based in Chicago.

With over a decade of experience in commercial food photography, I’ve learned to appreciate the beauty in every drip, fold, and sizzle. I take pride in the details and thrive on the challenge of bringing a brand’s vision to life through thoughtful imagery.

My love for photography started at a very young age, inspired by watching my Dad work his magic behind the camera. As his frequent subject, I observed him closely and  developed a deep appreciation for photography—something that only grew stronger with time.

From then on, I was hooked! With my face constantly behind the camera, my dream has always been to make a career out of the only thing that has ever felt right. I’m grateful for every moment I’m trusted to create for clients, big or small.

When I’m not in the studio, I’m usually running for the trees, seeking adventure. I love hiking, camping, rock climbing, and mountain biking above most things. I also enjoy working with ceramics, creating unique pieces to add to my ever-growing prop collection.

My passion for food runs deeper than my work. With the belief that food is medicine, I love to cook and bring the same artistry to my own kitchen as I do to my photography. I eat in color, making sure every meal includes at least three vibrant hues, and I still pay attention to presentation—even when I’m cooking for just me. Honestly, I just can’t help myself!

On set, I aim to bring an upbeat energy, a calm presence, and a collaborative spirit to every shoot. I approach each project with dedication, flexibility, and a genuine love for the craft—always striving to create imagery that connects, inspires, and tells a story worth remembering.
