Hi, I am Lisa Arens.

I am a photographer from a small town on the tip of the Upper Peninsula in Michigan. I am a wife and mother. I have four kids who range in age between three and 10. I have always loved photography but I think it was having my kids and wanting to capture all of their moments and memories that really pushed me to buy my first real dslr camera!

My life revolves around my family and I am very family oriented! We like to go camping and explore the woods, spend our summers at the beach, and play and ski in the abundance of snow that we get. Another of my hobbies is cooking and baking! There is just something about the smell of good food hitting you when you open the door. I like to learn new techniques to cooking, the same that I am always reading and learning new ways to improve my photography. There is always room to learn and grow in something!

The whole bunch!
