My guest, Lisa Francescon, is such an amazing teacher and a wonderful photographer with a huge heart for animals.Based in the Illinois/Iowa Quad Cities, Lisa has been photographing families and children since 2004, and in 2016 she found her true passion — pet portraiture.

Lisa also gives back to her community by partnering with shelters and rescues to raise funds and help more pets find their forever homes.
