She remembers taking her old 35mm camera and snapping away constantly to preserve that memory. She has since studied through the New York Institute of Photography and continues to attend many workshops and seminars taught by prestigious photographers. In 2005, Lindsey started her business out of her passion for creating art and life long memories through photography.

It was a BLAST! That is what I can say about my session with Ms. Emma. I just let her do her thing, so I cannot take much credit….it was all her. She is such a beauty and is growing way too fast!
Thank you for letting me just have fun with you!
She has the most beautiful eyes!
Yippee! Emma just having fun.
A little on the serious side.
Such a natural….love the dress
What a beauty!
The one on the right is my fave!
Love this one too!
JJ and I had SO much fun shooting this session for this terrific family, they were so willling to be laid back and have fun! They were all about capturing moments as they really were…..even if there was a sad face.
Enjoy some of shots of “grandma” with each grandchild & the whole group 
Here are some images of a beautiful bride that JJ and I had the pleasure of working with. She is stunning inside and out!

Wow wee…does time fly! Mr. A is growing too fast! I cannot believe it was already time for his 6 month session. Not only is the little man sitting, he is crawling too! What a cutie!!!
We had the pleasure to capture this milestone for Mr. A along with some images of the entire family and him with his big brothers. JJ and I had a great time working with the precious family! These boys are sweet, cute and full of energy
Thank you for letting us capture some memories for you! Hope you love your images!
MR. A-sitting and crawling…already!
Test shot…I just had to share..the first shot of the day….cutie pies!
Another “getting set up” shot….we were not able to get one of just the oldest…I think he had fallen and scratched his knee. I just had to share this one!
Beautiful family!
So sweet!
I just love these sweet faces!
I love the action shoot and the sweet expression.
January 17, 2015 - 9:45 am - The hotesny of your posting is there for all to see
This has turned out to be the best afternoon. It has been storming, so I have kept the computer unplugged and all of the lights turned off . The boys and I have had a blast playing flash light tag, building a tent, making shadow puppets, telling stories and reading too. Colin zonked out during one of the stories, so Carter and I pulled back the curtains in my room and snuggled in my bed and just watched the rain come down. Of course counted to see how long it would take for the thunder to boom after the lighting flashed and lit up the room too! What a WONDERFUL DAY! I feel so lucky to be a mom!
Even with all the fun with my boys, I could not wait another minute to plug the computer back in and post these images of this beautiful baby girl. I love this little girl and her precious family!
Hope everyone else is having a great day too!!!
Enjoy!
The first shot was taken about a week prior to the rest….you can see the difference.
Look at those beautiful eyes!
Finally zonked out….not for long
Sweet big brother giving kisses…
Cute little face and wrinkled little body….they grow so fast!
Precious little smile……I love little baby dreams that make cause little smirks
So tiny!
Hello all!
I knew this summer was going to be crazy, but I never imagined this crazy Oh well…it is craziness mixed with blessings!
With all of the craziness, it has been all I can do shoot, meet with clients and get portraits in super speed time before father’s day, so posting images for all to see has not been an option.
Here is one of the very precious group of kiddos that we had the pleasure to work with during our Father’s Day mini sessions.
These girls are beautiful, sweet and we had such a great time working with them. They were terrific!
Thank you P family for letting us have some fun with you!!!
Enjoy a few of the picked images
I am simply amazed at how well behaved these four sweet girls are. I have no idea how their mommy does it!?! I only have two and they are 4.5 years apart. Great job mom!!!!
Now..here are some silly ones that I just had to show.
Wow, what a fun and exciting time of year it is! I love it! Everyone is ready to be done with homework and ready to hit the pool. As a mom, I am thrilled to have my boys out of school and to be able to do science experiments, go to the beach, zoo and library with them; all while I continue to work hard!

July 8, 2011 - 10:26 pm - Lindsay- You mentioned you may be teaching a photography class at the end of June. I don't know if you were able to schedule that and I missed out or if you haven't been able to schedule anything just yet. A few friends and myself are very interested --Judy Sparks ( I'm not sure if you know her from Church of Christ MOPS) has offered her home and beautiful backyard if you need a location. There are about four - six of us. Would love to discuss fees and if your are still interested. If you aren't interest or too busy, I understand. Just let me know and we will look around for someone else.
July 22, 2011 - 5:34 pm - Rhonda! I was my cell phone in the wash and lost your contact information. Please email me when you have a chance! I would love to teach a class for you and your friends in August!
