Boy, this lady is much, much more than a photographer. She's an artist. All you have to do is look around her studio and her home and see her artistic touch everywhere. There is LOTS going on all around you when you first walk in and lots to look at. There are huge photographs matted and framed on every wall. There are dozens and dozens of examples of framed photography, color photography, black and white, large, small, mega sized, photos that look like water color art, photos with an Andy Warhol look, photos printed on canvas - this photographer can take a photograph and turn it into anything you want it to be. I had to take a good chunk of time studying every wall - each piece - just to decide what I liked best of all. Figuring out what to do with the photos you get is a big job but WOW do you get a lot of photos to pick from. Hundreds. And when your selection arrives at your doorstep, even the presentation is wonderful and has a personality of its own. Alisa has figured out the whole process and really mastered it. She's funny, too, and has a way of bonding with just about everybody who walks in her studio. She's sort of eccentric in a way but hugely normal in another. She is really an artist who has found a wonderful niche and is just running a marathon with it.
Pros: Ambiance, lots of creative ways to print photography, online proofs in luxurious area, very comfortable surroundings, open and honest conversation
Cons: Better get on her calendar now
