about
My love for photography began when I was 15 and my dad gifted me a Nikon SLR and it became my joy to photograph my friends and our adventures. 15 years later, when I became a mom to my two incredible daughters my obsession to document their lives grew through photography. My camera has been an extension of my love for life and as a result, our daughters are two of the most photographed human beings on the planet.
Capturing our family, our friends and our collective journey’s grew from an unstoppable passion into my treasured profession as a photographer, as I launched Lisa DeNeffe Photography in 2005.
about
I LOVE being able to capture true emotion for a lifetime and being part of your family’s most precious moments. Having families come back to me year after year is an honor that is hard to put into words. For those of you who have worked with me, thank you so much for that gift. And for those of you who haven’t had the opportunity to meet and work with me yet – please get in touch! We always start the process with a complimentary planning session to be sure that we are the best fit and to understand your goals and desires.
Photography is the best thing I’ve done in my life. I keep counting my lucky stars to be doing what I love and bringing joy to families.

We are delighted to have worked with Lisa for over ten years in a row, and our home is filled with her wonderful photos and portraits. For us, it's an annual tradition to update our photos and celebrate our family
Bill and Francoise B. - Los Altos Hills
Lisa photographed our family in 2015 and again in 2020. We have beautiful memories of two great days, with matching designs so we can make wall arrangements to show how the kids have grown. This year Lisa also made albums for us and our parents. We couldn't be happier with the family treasures that Lisa created for us!
Marsha C. - Menlo Park
Well, Lisa—thank you is surely not enough!
The album is a joy and full of love inside and outside, from day one until today. Bless you for providing this lively and wonderful treasure for all of us.

We booked Lisa for our daughter's graduation pictures and we couldn't be happier. Lisa is extremely professional but also provides a warmth and genuine aura about her. You can feel the love she has in what she does and it shines through in her photographs. Her studio is fabulous and we also went on a park location for other candid shots as well. We had so much fun that day. I cannot wait to book her again for all our future needs!

We loved working with Lisa’s team. We came to Lisa to retake our team’s headshots for a website redesign. From start to finish, she was professional, timely and lovely to work with. She spent time on the phone with our website designer to make sure the photos matched the whole vision of the site redo and executed his vision to a tee. We couldn’t recommend her and her team more!

I'm flattered, but...no! we were in-between braces, so it was time to bring in a professional! the photos were taken by the very talented lisa deneffe, who operates out of her studio at town and country. lisa was terrific to work with - i definitely recommend her for family photos.
Alison L. - Menlo Park

Lisa continues to amaze us with her beautiful photos she captures of our family. We have been so lucky to have Lisa take photos for us since our wedding, then to maternity, newborn, birthdays and family holidays. She truly has a gift and we LOVE her and her team!
Julia N. - Palo Alto
From the moment that we entered this studio, we knew this was the perfect photographer for our daughter's senior photos. Lisa Deneffe is a master at photographing what we all cherish, our most treasured times and she does it so beautifully. I have to applaud her assistant, Haley who went above and beyond with helping us design a Christmas card and a High School graduation announcement. She is so creative and just wonderful to work with on these projects.
This studio is one of the best kept secrets in Palo Alto, truly a find!
I’m so enjoying these photos in my home each and every day! They are treasures of wonderful memories and achievements for my daughter Savannah! I appreciate your service, kindness and support.

even In Tahoe when it was raining!

Lisa and Audrey just recently took our engagement pictures and we honestly had such a great time and made some great memories while doing it! They make you feel comfortable and enjoy your experience. Not only was the photoshoot a blast but the pictures were absolutely STUNNING!! I could not have been more happy with my experience working with her and her team and plan to shoot with them again very soon.
Lisa exudes warmth and genuine kindness which makes kids and adults comfortable when she’s taking photos. I love her appreciation for details and ability to capture one’s personality and the joys of family and childhood with a photo

THANK YOU LISA! OMG THE PHOTOS LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL, WE CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH! WE HAD SO MUCH FUN DOING OUR ENGAGEMENT SHOOT (EVEN THOUGH WE BOTH DON'T LIKE HAVING OUR PHOTOS TAKEN!) YOU AND HALEY MADE US SO COMFORTABLE AND IT MEANT EVERYTHING TO US TO HAVE OUR FUR BABY BE PART OF IT!
Lisa did photography for our brand new 8 day old baby and I was completely impressed with the images she composed as well as her technical skill and ability to work with young babies. I've had many friends comment that the pictures she took actually bring tears to their eyes, they are so beautiful. Every day I look at those prints on our wall and I'm so grateful for Lisa and how she captured our little one... Lisa is a treasure to work with, you will love her down to earth, natural style and the amazing results she produces.

Melissa and Garrett - San Francisco
Lisa DeNeffe is a true professional. Lisa not only flawlessly executed our vision, but also she was able to capture the small moments that we will cherish forever. We look forward to working with her again in the future!
As a writer, I have always been irked by the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. But Lisa’s photos are not just decorative illustrations—they are portraits in the most profound sense of the word. Our family photos capture the nature of our family—our children, their relationship with each other and our relationship with them—at a point in our family history that would be otherwise lost forever. They are among our greatest precious possessions.
Melanie T. - Los Altos
Lisa has a magic touch with families. She has captured some awesome shots of our family. These wall portraits have become a
piece of treasure for all of us. Highly recommend
her family wall portraits!

Halo Blow Dry Bar - Palo Alto
Yes, as good as it gets. They were so gracious, able to work with a tight schedule, made my two nieces relax into beautiful poses, fast turnaround of a fabulous gallery. I've never worked with a better studio. The whole experience was fun, easy, and professional. Thanks, Ladies!
Trish M. - Menlo Park
