About the Agency

Creative Vision.
Business Perspective.

Meet Lisa Collins-Haynes

Founder & Creative Director | The Corporate Photographer

For more than a decade, photography has been my creative language, allowing me to tell stories, capture meaningful moments, and connect people through compelling imagery.

My journey began in lifestyle photography, where I spent 10 years developing my artistic eye, technical expertise, and ability to bring people's stories to life. That foundation taught me that powerful photography extends beyond beautiful images. It communicates identity, builds connection, and creates lasting impressions.

Today, I'm taking that experience to new heights.

As the Founder and Creative Director of Charmed Life Visual Collective Agency, I'm intentionally expanding my work into corporate photography, commercial content creation, branding, and visual storytelling. This evolution reflects my commitment to challenging myself creatively, developing my talents, and bringing a fresh perspective to companies and organizations.

Beyond the camera, I hold a Master of Business Administration (MBA) and am a doctoral candidate in Global Hospitality Leadership at the University of Houston's Conrad N. Hilton College of Global Hospitality Leadership. My academic experience informs my understanding of business strategy, service excellence, customer experience, and the relationships businesses build with their audiences.

My experience as a lifestyle photographer, travel journalist, and business professional helps me approach creative production through both an artistic and strategic lens.

Through Charmed Life Visual Collective Agency, I lead creative projects and collaborate with talented professionals to provide photography, video, and commercial content tailored to each client's vision.

I believe that growth begins when we challenge ourselves to move beyond what's familiar. This agency represents the next chapter of that philosophy—an opportunity to elevate my craft while helping businesses elevate their brands.

Based in Austin, Texas. Available worldwide.

The Collective Model

Boutique by Design. Scalable by Choice.

Every engagement is led by Lisa personally. When a project calls for more — a second shooter, a videographer, an editor, a stylist — she brings in trusted professional collaborators selected for that production. You get one creative director and a team sized precisely to your scope.

Creative Philosophy

Growth Lives Beyond the Familiar.

Strong imagery is strategic. It should feel authentic to who you are, speak to the people you serve, and work hard across every place your brand appears. We plan with intention, direct with care, and deliver with polish.
