Behind the Lens

Back before moving to New York City to become a big time model and photographer extraordinaire, Lisa Houlgrave was my fun-loving, tom-boy neighbor here in Richmond. Through hard work and fantastic talent, she’s built an incredible career and national reputation. So when it came time for new photos of my team, choosing Lisa was a given. It was absolutely one of the most fun photo shoots our team has ever had! Lisa is so clearly passionate about her work, and her keen aesthetic eye finds beauty in everything.

With over 25 years of experience on both sides of the lens, Lisa knows exactly how to make her subjects look their best. She has a way of putting subjects instantly at ease in front of the camera and capturing energy in every shot. While Lisa still maintains her residence in NYC, she splits her time in the big city with many trips back to Richmond and also to Lexington, Kentucky, where she shoots the bulk of her equestrian work.
