Lisa Barksdale Photography

Lisa Barksdale Photography I am a photographer based in Savannah, GA specializing in family portraits, seniors, professional headshots and special events. Hi! Superpower? My background?
(1)

I am Lisa Barksdale and I am a photographer based in Savannah, GA servicing the surrounding area as well as Tybee Island, Fripp Island, Hilton Head Island, the Lowcountry, and worldwide! I love all types of photography including families, seniors, portraits, and much more. My approach is very candid, relaxed, fun and as stress-free as possible! Photography has been my passion for as long as I can

remember. I'm the one that probably drives you nuts with my camera when we are out and about but trust me, you will appreciate it when you look back or receive the Facebook flashbacks and we can laugh. Yes, I have powers! I have the ability to freeze time and capture memories you will look back on forever. I can't image a more special gift. I love watching families/couples interact and running with kids capturing their organic smiles and giggles. Well, I was born and raised in Dallas, TX (and YES, everything is bigger and better in TX - HA!) and felt the need to explore so I ventured off to the University of Georgia - GO DAWGS! After graduation, I settled in Savannah where I fell in love with the south. The culture and beauty that surrounds us is something I still do NOT take for granted. In 2004, my best friend met my "future husband" and she was right! We married in 2006 and now have 2 amazing kids who are 11 and 13 and keep us busy. Everyday is an adventure and I wouldn't trade it for the world. In my "spare time," if I don't have a camera in my hand, I am traveling the world, coaching basketball and soccer through the YMCA, and volunteering at the schools. When I settled in Savannah, I quickly emerged into the hospitality scene and worked for Hilton for many years before I started my own business, Connect Event Management. After more than 16 years in the hospitality business, my photography business took off and has become a full time passion of mine. Through both of my businesses, there is one thing that is certain. I will continue to connect people. I would love to hear from you!

Did you know marsh grass smells like lavender?!? LOL

One of my favorite things about photographing little ones is seeing the world through their eyes. I think I’ll be smelling the marsh grass a little differently from now on.

If crashing a wedding setup and pretending you just got married is on your list, you should have been there last night for the unexpected bonus during their family session!

We snuck in for a quick photo under the beautiful flower-covered arch designed by Preparethatable and let them have their newlywed moment!

Loved this fun Tybee evening with this sweet family!

08/27/2026

First time on Tybee Island all the way from New Jersey, and this family came ready to celebrate!

An 14th birthday, one heading off to college, and some good old-fashioned family time together. And these three teens? Well…they may have their own ways of doing things, but apparently they’ll do just about anything for their photographer.

Including holding hands, running into the ocean, and jumping waves together. I mean, if that’s not sibling love, I don’t know what is. šŸ˜‚

Some of my favorite photos always happen at the very end of a session, when we stop worrying about perfect hair and dry clothes and just end up in the water. Those are the moments that feel the most real — and usually the ones everyone remembers.

Loved spending this evening with the Llull-Petroski family and helping capture such a fun, exciting season for their family!

The ā€œcalmā€ after the storm…meet the Yoos Crew!

It was well worth the unexpected weather delay to get to run and play with the Yoos Crew once again.

This family has the best energy, and I absolutely love every chance I get to play and capture them just being themselves.

So thankful for families who let me tag along and document the chaos, the connection, and all the little moments in between.

I couldn’t let another day go by this week without celebrating World Photography Day. šŸ“·

This year marked the anniversary of the 1839 announcement of the daguerreotype process—a milestone that helped shape the way we capture and preserve memories today.

But what I love most about photography isn’t just the photographs. It’s the people, the stories, and the moments I get to preserve.

I’m so grateful this is what I get to do—and it’s because of amazing clients like you. Thank you for trusting me with your memories and allowing me to do what I love. 🩷

Happy World Photography Day!

20 years of choosing each other. ā¤ļø

Megan & Dan celebrated their 20th anniversary with a beautiful vow renewal on Fripp Island with their family and closest friends.

They have so much love and joy to share, being around them was such a treat. And not to mentioned, they will have you laughing the whole time...including a little rock, paper, scissors to decide who would read their vows first!

Here’s to 20 years and many more adventures together!!! since 2009.

School is back. šŸ“š And now it’s our turn!

The kids are back in their routines, which means it’s the perfect time for us professionals to hit the reset button, refocus on our businesses, and take care of a few things we’ve been putting off.

First on the list? Updating that headshot.

Your headshot is often the first impression people have of you and your business. Make sure it looks like you—current, confident, and ready for what’s next.

New school year. Fresh start. Updated headshot. Let’s get to work. ✨ Meet my friend Maria!

Senior portraits are all about YOU—your style, your personality, your favorite places, and the things that make this season of life yours.

For Ava, The Landings was the perfect location. Her grandparents used to live here, and she spent her childhood playing by the marsh, so it was a meaningful place to bring her senior portraits back to.

I love when a session can be more than just gorgeous pictures—it can actually feel like you. šŸ¤

Senior year is officially here!

It was such a joy spending time with Jack for his senior session! There was something so special about keeping things simple and natural at his family’s home on the water. With the beautiful marsh, the coastal scenery created the perfect backdrop.

And even on a hot and steamy Savannah day, Jack was a trooper! We ended the session in the best possible way, cooling off in the pool lounge chairs!

Congratulations Jack! I hope you have the best year yet!
