Realizing she wanted to pursue photography as a career, she left her job and began to travel. “I went to Australia and Europe to work,” Lewis said. “I came to the United States because my sister is here and I think it’s a great place to do photography.” Lewis elaborated that she does not take photographs in a studio. She prefers the outdoors. “I love to do things no one thinks of doing,” Lewis said. “Like taking models to the Grand Canyon. Living in California is great because I can go to the beach for a shoot and an hour later be in the mountains.” Looking through her portfolio, her models look so comfortable. In some photos the models appears to forget there is a camera present. “Sometimes I don’t tell the models what to do, I put music on to express romance or whatever I am looking to photograph,” Lewis said. “It really helps a lot.” Olga, who accompanies her sister to photo shoots at times, says Lewis gets into a calm state of mind while she photographs. “She can coordinate a couple in such a calm way, she does not stress out about anything,” she said. As mentioned before, looking through her portfolio feels as though true love is attainable. The photos portray such passionate moments between two people. “I love to do things no one thinks of doing.” 10
