MEET LISA

Hi there! My name is Lisa and I am the artist behind Lisa Ortiz Photography. I am an on-location photographer based in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
​
In 2007 I graduated from NMSU with a degree in Digital Graphics Technology.
My husband plays a huge role in my life as he is my number one supporter. He purchased my first DSLR camera back in 2010 and really pushed me to chase my dream of owning my own photography business. A year later, in August of 2011,
I launched Lisa’s Design Studio. I offered photography and graphic design services.
Fast forward to Mid 2019, I decided to re brand my already established business with the name, Lisa Ortiz Photography. Since photography is what I am truly passionate about, it made perfect sense to drop the word design and studio and go with a fresh, new look focusing on photography services.
I am a mom to two amazing kiddos. A daughter and son. I am a huge animal lover and have five dogs and two cats. I am an adventurer and love traveling the world. Aside from photography, I am a Realtor. I have been in the Real Estate field for over 15 years.
Fun fact. I am half German and have dual citizenship. I was born there, lived much of my younger life there, and even graduated high school there. I absolutely love Europe, and a lot of my family still lives there. I am fluent, and although I sound like a tourist when I speak the language, I understand just about everything.
I love New Mexico and our amazing sunsets. It took me a long time to love and appreciate the desert. And while I do travel and love see other places, Las Cruces is definitely home.
Take a look through my portfolio to get a better feel of my work. Stop on by my Facebook and Instagram page and show some love there as well. If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to ask!

Hugs – Lisa
