      I found Lisa on yelp - and I'm so glad I did! She came and took photos of our family. She has a great personality AND she is a great photographer AND she is really organized AND competitively priced. She also gives you all of the prints from the shoot which is unusual and great! Quick turnaround too. No need to look any further - hire her! :)

      Lisa is not only a talented photographer but an extremely wonderful person to work with. She took our engagement photos and our wedding photos and did a phenomenal job. She turns pictures around so quickly and is accomadating, patient and just all around sweet! You will be so happy if you pick Lisa for all your photography needs.

      Lisa is always such a pleasure to work with, we have worked with her two times now and have been so happy with how our photos have turned out! She is extremely skilled as a photographer and was so patient with our daughter during the sessions. Despite our two year old being a bit uncomfortable at first we never felt pressured or that she was becoming impatient with us. Our daughter warmed up to the photos being taken very quickly and loved playing in front of the camera by the end of the session. I highly recommend her for family and child photography!

      My fiancee and I decided we wanted to get some photos taken after our engagement but we were unsure when exactly we are going to use our pictures. We are also unsure for what we were going to use our photos but we wanted some nonetheless. So I contacted Lisa.

      One of the many things that is great about Coconut Dolly is we didn't have to have a game plan and know what excatly we wanted to do with our photos. We got the rights to all of them and we get to use them as we want in the future. Perfect for us!! Lisa even touched up a few of our favorites!

      The day of the shoot we had a BLAST working with Lisa. It was so much fun and easy going. Our photos turned out fantastic! Lisa's easy going, positive attitude was great she had all these great ideas and she used our ideas as well. She was on time, smiley and just plain great to work with. Great experience!

      Lisa is fantastic to work with! We have done two photo shoots with her and both times have been thrilled with the results. She captures the perfect moments of our children who don't make it easy. She is positive, patient, creative, and truly great with kids and families. We highly recommend Coconut Dolly Photography!

      This review is long over due...

      We've been working with Lisa for over 3 years now (5+ photo shoots) and I'm always amazed at her professionalism, energy, humor with the kids, and ability to capture amazing moments amidst the chaos that children bring to photo shoots. :)

      Lisa always brings a very positive attitude and starts the session by confirming what I want to accomplish. The sessions are always fun (even with infants/ toddlers) and she has creative ideas that capture amazing looks in the kids. She also has a very unique ability to capture emotion - which has led to some stunning photos.

      After the photo session, Lisa gives me a CD with all of the photos - which is mine to keep and print. I love this! It gives me much more freedom to use the photos.

      I've recommended Lisa to so many of my friends. We feel so lucky to have found her!

      We used Lisa for family photos and she did an awesome job. She was so good with our three year son. She had a play monkey for him to throw and laugh at. She was really able to capture the moment.
      It was a boiling hot morning and she was able to keep us all smiling!
      She had a quick turnaround time, which is great since you are always anxious to see how your photos turned out.

      Lisa is incredible. My 3 years son was running away when we told him the photographer had arrived at the beach, the wind was blowing and it was a bit cold....but she magically got our 2 year old daughter and my goofy son to cooperate and smile! She took beautiful shots of all of us together, alone, in pairs, playing, climbing and traditional group shots. We had 128 shots in the end and more than 30 I would print and hang on the wall. Thanks Lisa!

      oh ps. We found her through a youswoop coupon and I waited until the last minute to make the appointment, then it rained on our date. Lisa was so cheerful about scheduling past the year cut off on the coupon and rescheduling for crappy weather. What a kind person.
