so glad you're here!
I have two children, a boy and a girl, and I've been married to my husband for 8 years. We've lived in 3 different states since getting married, and are now settled in Sweet Home Alabama. When I’m not behind the lens, you can find me with a coffee in hand, probably listening to a true crime podcast or getting lost in a good book—because every mom needs a little escape now and then! I’m also a huge fan of outdoor adventures, whether it’s hiking through the woods or exploring new places. I also love to travel and see new places and meet new people.
But above all, my greatest joy comes from the Lord and spending time with my family. They are the most precious gift and one I waited a long time for; they are my why and a huge part of why I do what I do. I believe that God has blessed me with them in ways I never want to take for granted.
Thank you for considering me to capture your special moments. I can’t wait to get to know you and help tell your story!
My business isn't just about pictures.

It's about
It’s never just about a photoshoot to me – it’s about the legacy and the life you’re building together as a family. Photography isn’t just a transaction for me; it’s about building a genuine connection and creating memories that will be treasured for generations. My goal is to create timeless and heartfelt images that tell your family’s story in a way words simply can’t, and to serve your family with care, intention, and the love of Christ.
Mission
my
I like to create imagery that is bright and vibrant, while remaining true to color. I love images that will stand the test of time and capture your family's story in a way that transports you back to that memory and that moment. I’m passionate about capturing the laughter, the quiet cuddles, the tiny hands that won’t stay small forever, and the love that holds it all together.

I strive to make my process as seamless as possible for you. As a mom, I know how busy and hectic life can be, so I have made sure to create a process and experience that is enjoyable and let's you sit back and relax. I do typically book 1-2 months in advance so I encourage planning ahead if you'd like to work with me.

My clients have the sweetest things to say
"Lindsay is absolutely amazing and talented from start to finish!"
She was happy to give feedback about wardrobe choices in advance. She really knows how to get the little ones excited and in a good mood. She listens to what you are wanting and never makes you feel rushed. Highly recommend her for all your photography needs… You will NOT be disappointed.

I was a teenager and walked around with a disposable camera in my hand most of the time. I loved taking photos of my family & friends!
I love some good, Authentic Italian food!
Give me all the fall things! Bonfires, pumpkin spice lattes, boots, cozy hoodies, the leaves changing - I love it all!
My favorite memories as a kid are from traveling all over the u.S. and to other countries. I actually love airports because it means I'm getting to travel somewhere new.

Unpopular opinion but I prefer the mountains to the beach. There are so many things to do in the mountains like hiking, exploring, cooking on a campfire.

Family
Derek is the one who holds our family together; he's our leader and provider, and he loves us well. He's such a hard worker and sacrifices his time to serve not just us, but other people. He's my biggest supporter and encourager, and I am so thankful for him.
We met at seminary in New Orleans, and I quickly learned how good of a heart he has. He's not perfect, but he truly is the man of my dreams and a man after God's heart! {Y'all he often does the laundry, dishes, and cleaning without me saying anything! I've got a keeper for sure!}
He's actually 7 years younger than me, something he likes to tease me about. But it works and I'm so glad that I waited for him. If you'd like to learn more about our love story, I wrote all about it here.

Husband, father, & Biggest Supporter
Rowan is our first born, the one who made me a mama! If you were to ask him what he wanted to be when he grows up, he would shout, "MONSTER TRUCK DRIVER!" He's only a little obsessed with them.
Rowan is full of energy, as all little boys are. He's outgoing and never meets a stranger. He's just like me in many ways {poor fella!}, and he has the BEST smile. He loves to entertain and is always making us laugh. He brings so much joy to our family!
He loves school, playing with his sister, playing catch and dodgeball, and UNO {though he is quite competitive - something he gets from his mom.}

Monster truck Lover, Big Brother, Rae's BFF
Raelynn is our sweet, beautiful little girl. She can be a little sassy sometimes, and she can be shy around new people. But she warms up pretty quickly.
If you ask her name, she will proudly tell you that it's "Rae Rae Elise". Rae Rae is our nickname for her, so I guess she thinks that is her actual name. She is our cuddly one and loves to snuggle up and watch a movie or read a book with us.
Rae Rae loves school too, playing with her "babies" (stuffed animals), playing monster trucks with her best friend, Rowan, and also playing UNO {she wants everyone else to win though.}
