This mentality brought her much success in her career and allowed her to branch out to corporate photography and wedding photography where she continues to push the envelope. Her 7 year struggle with infertility presented many No's along the way that she had to push through and continues to push through as her infertility journey continues to this day.  Lisa has become a leader and source of support for many women on the infertility journey.
