Lisa Lehmann was “exposed” to photography as a child when her father let her play around with a Kodak Brownie camera that used 620 film. She took pictures of snakes, dogs and the Mullet River. Jerad also introduced her to the darkroom in his classroom at Plymouth High School. She thought it was magical!

Always an artist at heart, Lisa has explored her creativity in many ways. She received a Bachelors

degree in music and soon after attempted to start a jingle business. Lisa had more success in 1996 when she created an online forum/consulting business for radio announcers. She learned a lot about the Internet and began making websites for other small businesses, which included taking photographs of people and real estate.

Lisa’s “day job” was a radio and television career in the Madison and La Crosse areas. She continually took classes, grew her knowledge, and progressed from being a news reporter to office manager to graphic designer to becoming the marketing manager for a regional media center.

In 2000, Lisa decided to set her sites on becoming a photographer when she retired… in 2010 or so! She began taking photography classes. At the same time, digital photography was taking off and Lisa was able to jump right in, thanks to her experience in graphic design. A job change by her husband brought her full circle -- back to Sheboygan County -- where in 2005, Lisa began her foray into photography as a career.

Her photographic knowledge has been enhanced by classes at Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, MATC in Madison, online classes from Lynda.com and ed2go, plus the University of Wisconsin’s School of the Arts.
