For over 15 years, Lisa DeNeffe Photography has been transforming the way families enjoy and live with their photography by creating memories that will be treasured for a lifetime. 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.

My children (14, 12, and 9) and I enjoyed a terrific experience with Lisa. She is with the client every step of the way, from determining preferences for backgrounds, checking out locations, and having options for scheduling. On photo shoot day, my three kids felt relaxed and enjoyed the process. They got to know Lisa 1:1 when she was doing their individual "school portrait" photos, and we had many opportunities to take family photos. After every shot (or almost every shot), Lisa would show us the preview of the photo in her camera.
I highly recommend Portola Valley Town Center, which

Lisa is amazing! She has been with us for all our major milestones, she did our engagement, wedding, maternity, and newborn photo shoots! Through each session we received great direction from her to reflect our style (which we reviewed with her before hand) but she also added her own unique touch. She always made us feel comfortable and relaxed and her beautiful photos reflect that. I can't recommend her enough!

We had Lisa take photos of our staff to use for our website. She made everyone feel very comfortable and relaxed and took some great photos of our group both individually and of the team. After the shoot, she made sure everyone was pleased with their photos and provided small touch-ups if necessary. Great experience and very professional looking photographs!

Lisa is creative, responsive, accommodating, and thoughtful. She is a true professional. No job is too small or too big. It is clear that she has years of experience getting the right shot and that she throughly enjoys working with people and dogs! She made my entire family feel special and look spectacular. We are grateful that we found her.

Lisa does incredible work! She and her team are professional, kind and always communicative. Her pictures celebrate and memorialize the happiness and beauty of family! Her photography not only captures the priceless individuality of each member of your family, the end product is a work of art in and of itself. We will cherish her photos for our lifetimes!
Thank you Lisa!

Lisa has been taking our family pictures for eleven years. She puts care into building relationships and bringing out the best in all of us. We now have photos of our family that remind us of moments in time captured for future generations to view. We can't imagine anyone else taking our family photos. Lisa has become a trusted family friend. Her pictures are simply gorgeous.

Just an update from my previous post a couple years ago... 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!

I have been working with Lisa and her team for the past few years and I only have AMAZING things to say about them. They are not only professional, but such a fun time to shoot with! 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 is a talented photographer. The problem: she places maximizing revenue above customer service and satisfaction. Horrible experience. For the price ($$$$) and given the competitiveness of photography in the Bay Area, I would expect a greater desire to create happy customers that will generate return business. I will never return.

Lisa recently did a mini Valentines day photo shoot for my 3 year old son. For a toddler, 30 minute shoot was quick and easy enough for his limited attention span. Lisa had great suggestions on poses and getting some personality out of him. We are very happy with quality and delivery of the finished products.

Thanks Lisa DeNeffe Photography for being so professional and making it such a treat to get fabulous photos. The wall art you created of my boys is awesome and will create a lasting memory of a very special moment in time.
Congratulations on your well deserved successes. I am referring everyone I know to you.

Terrible. Complete waste of time and money. Did a family shoot with her a while back and it was such a disappointment. Wasn't a huge fan after seeing her portfolio but thought she was decent and she was available on a short notice so thought we'd give it a shot (we only needed a few good shots anyway).
I could have stomached the ridiculously overpriced prints if they were actually worth having, but ALL the photos were bad! From lighting, to cropping, to angles and poses that she chose, everything was TERRIBLE! And absolutely no originality in poses, locations, etc. (if you look at all

Lisa is amazing!!! Not only are the pictures she takes GORGEOUS, but she is such a pleasure to work with. My son tends to be shy around new people but opened right up to her, allowing her to capture priceless images! I can not say enough wonderful things about Lisa as a person and as a photographer!!!

We recently set up a photo session with Lisa for both family photo's as well as a couple of corporate head shots. We have had a few photo sessions in the past with other companies and was never really pleased with our photo's. The shots always looked canned and unnatural... needless to say, I was dreading our photo session.
Lisa was so relaxing and comfortable to work with. She was so complimentary throughout the entire session and really put us at ease. She has a way of capturing the right expression and emotion at just the right moment. I honestly have never looked so good!!! I cannot
