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!

Vacation Day 1: Dad saw the kids skimboarding and thought, “I can do that.”

Fast-forward a few minutes, and Dad ended up in a cast — just in time for the family vacation photos.

So we improvised! We moved the family photos to the house porch so Dad could be front and center, cast and all, then headed to the beach so the kiddos could run, play, and enjoy every minute of vacation.

Not exactly how we pictured Day 1, but somehow it turned into the best of both worlds. The memories may look a little different this year, but they’re still memories we’ll laugh about for years to come.

Here’s to making the most of the unexpected, embracing the chaos, and never letting a cast ruin a good family vacation!

Last night's family session on Tybee Island came with the sweetest surprise... a proposal! 💍❤️

These are the moments that remind me why I love what I do. Being trusted to document memories that will be cherished for a lifetime is something I'll never take for granted.

Congratulations to Kasey & Logan! Thank you for letting me be part of such a beautiful chapter in your story.

I’m honestly completely speechless and so deeply humbled.

I just found out I was named Best Photographer in the 2026 Community’s Choice Awards for Best of the Coastal Empire, and I am still trying to process it.

When I first picked up a camera, my goal was simply to capture genuine, meaningful moments for wonderful people. To know that this community took the time to vote and support my work in this way means more to me than words can say.

Thank you to all my clients who keep me inspired everyday. Getting to step into your lives, document your special milestones, and preserve your memories is the greatest privilege. This recognition wouldn't be possible without your trust, loyalty, and support—thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

Here’s to capturing many more beautiful moments together. 📸✨

Riley understood the assignment. ✨

This senior session started with her amazing dad building a swing over the marsh (yes... he actually built it! 😍) so we could bring one of Riley's dream photos to life. And from there? We just kept saying, "Okay... but what if we did THIS?"

We wandered through the marsh, chased the prettiest light, laughed the entire evening, and finished by running straight into the ocean because... why not?!

By the time the sun set, we were both soaking wet, covered head to toe in sand, and having the best time. Those are usually the sessions that end up being my favorites.

Riley, you absolutely crushed it. Thank you for trusting me with your big ideas and being up for every adventure.

Beautiful mornings on Hilton Head never get old. If you're planning a photo session, early mornings or late evenings offer the best lighting—and at least attempt to beat the summer heat. (Though this time of year, that's a challenge! 😅) The views are always worth it.

Three years of memories with this sweet family, and I honestly feel so lucky to be the one documenting them.

One of my favorite parts of this job is getting a front-row seat to watch families grow. The kids get a little taller, a bit more confident, and their personalities shine a little brighter every year. And the adults don't change one bit!

Thank you Cato Family for trusting me year after year with your family memories.

This year marks the 3rd summer in a row photographing the Eichelberger‘s on , and it’s something I look forward to every year. Their family is full of wonderful traditions and connections that make every session feel effortless.

Thank you, Eichelbergers, for trusting me year after year to preserve these memories. I can’t wait to see what next year‘s session brings! Adam Eichelberger Bonny Daughtry

Let’s be honest… if you’re looking for a trial lawyer, are you trusting the guy with a professional, current headshot or the one whose photo looks like it was taken with a flip phone in 2009?

I recently photographed Zach and helped him update his professional headshots. Whether you’re an attorney, business owner, or any kind of professional, your headshot is often your first handshake before you ever meet someone.

If your photo doesn’t look like you anymore, it might be time for an update!
