Disrupting the business of photography since 2019, Lisa Haukom believes the camera is more than a tool for pretty pictures and social media selfies.

​

Lisa is the creator of the Self Portrait Method, a program designed to help women learn to love, heal, and accept themselves through the art of self-portrait photography. The Self-Portrait Studio evolved from the popular “Confidence on Camera” online course, and has resulted in a thriving online community helping thousands of people experience the Self Portrait Method. Dissatisfied with what she saw in photos Lisa set out to investigate feeling disconnected from our own image.

 

Lisa is also the founder of the Goldenbrand Photography Studio, where she combines beautiful photography with the power of marketing, empowering clients to feel seen, valued, and grow their brands. Lisa has worked with thousands of women and her audience spans from those who want to build their dream business to those who want to stop feeling invisible and undervalued .

 

With a degree in Art History, Lisa carved out a unique path for herself in the lifestyle brand photography industry. She specializes in self portrait, lifestyle, and editorial photography and, most innovatively of all her services  involve the use of your iPhone.  Lisa wants to remove the barrier to entry and make professional photography more accessible for all.

As the creator and host of The Goldenbrand Podcast and Goldenbrand YouTube channel, Lisa interviews leading self-development experts. Her fast-growing blog provides additional resources and support, discussing the art of healing through self-portrait photography, building your business with brand strategy, confidence on camera, pathway to publication coaching, brand visuals, and creating the ultimate mood board for your creative vision.
