Five Local Photographers You Should Know and Work With
Lisette Fee
In our day and age of consuming images and technology, a good photographer has never been more important. Not just that, the people behind the camera are even more important.
As a creative and jeweler I come in contact with many photographers and I have an impressive roster of super talented friends that know how to capture just the right image.
I’ve worked with the following individuals in different capacities, either for my jewelry brand or personally and they are each talented in a different way. Depending on the occasion, you want a photographer that knows how to set the scene or catch a certain pose and make sure you don’t have lipstick on your teeth!
Aileen Devlin - Ya’ll know she is my go-to woman for all my incredible up close jewelry shots. And this badass isn’t afraid to tell you how to switch up the look or smile etc. Aileen and I have worked together since the inception of my business and I trust her completely. Oh AND Aileen now shoots videos!
Sim Asher - We’ve also worked together since 2012, Sim has a great eye for scenic shots and infusing an image with additional moodiness. Sim also is creative in creating strange and dreamy shots.
Courtney Kerr - My fellow momboss shoots family and solo portraits and she is so good at making you feel comfortable and at ease. Courtney shot our family images and I was so pleased with the naturalness of our pictures, ones we will treasure for a long time.
Gigi Hoggard - This lady knows how to sprinkle magic dust on her shoots, she will make you into Snow White, a Viking or a Prince. Seriously, Gigi creates the most stunning and enchanting images with her editing skills. She is also ridiculously funny and entertaining. You will have a blast with her!
Carley Page Summers - Carley is a triple threat, she styles, shoots and shops for your home and photos. Technically I didn’t work with Carley on a photoshoot BUT she styled one of my trunk shows and honestly, I don’t need to work with her to know this woman has MAD design and photo skills. You will be taken to a serene and calm world with Carley!
It’s hard to decide my favorite Aileen Devlin image but this is in the top ten.
Aileen Devlin takes immense care in setting up a shot. A mega skill of good photographers.
Love this dreamy shot of Ashleigh in the woods by Sim Asher.

I am IN LOVE with the shots Courtney Kerr took of us. Look at how happy we are?!

Summoning all the magic with Gigi Hoggard, how wicked is this shot?
Gigi is one of those people that will get down and dirty to capture the essence of her subjects. And she sprinkles that magic dust to make the shot GLOW!
See the gorgeous blankets, plants and vibe? That’s Carley, literally in the background.
As soon as I met Carley I felt all this stylish, elegance and fun vibes from her, and so will you.
