As a student of Fine Art Photography at L.S.U., it never occurred to Liesa that she could earn a living with her camera.. She was just “wandering toward [her] passion.” These days, as the founder of Omni studio, Liesa drifts happily between the commercial and Fine Art worlds. On the most satisfying of days she claims it is hard to tell the difference.

Liesa has a minor in Fine Art Photography as well as her Commercial Photography Certification from the University of Alabama in Birmingham. She has won numerous awards for her personal work, including the grand prize in “ The Luminous International award for photographic excellence” and the “Southerness” photography Award. Most recently, she was awarded the Grand Prize in the 2006 and 2007 juried Artwalk exhibition in Birmingham for her collaborations with partner, Tony Rodio.

Commercially, her work has garnered much recognition including numerous Addy’s over the years. Most recently, her work was honored as “Best in Show” at the 2006 Annual Healthcare PR and Marketing Conference.

Liesa brings dedication to excellence and a creative collaborative spirit to all of her projects. Her passion for her work is perhaps only outmatched by her passion for her family, which include her daughter Gabrielle and son, Cole.
