Lisa is a mom of 5 kids (and 2 naughty dogs), so her house is full this summer!

When she’s not at her kids’ sports events, she likes to work out, golf, ski, watch a movie, or read a good book.

She also enjoys traveling with her family. Italy and New Zealand are favorite places she’s experienced. China holds a special place in her heart, and she is an advocate for Chinese adoption.

Lisa has a wry sense of humor and she had me laughing throughout this photo shoot even as we talked about serious topics like parenting, aging, and life transitions.

She has a way of sparking joy in any conversation, and in life.
