She took our newborn daughter's pictures, and they were AMAZING! We can't wait for our milestone appointments coming up. It was a true experience watching her work…She is the sweetest as well, and made us feel so comfortable. Her space is lovely! She is very professional, but also so personable. We won't go anywhere else for our photos.“

"We have been getting photos with Lindsay for over 5 years when I was pregnant with my oldest. We have now had over 15 sessions with Lindsay and she is beyond amazing! I wouldn't trust my kiddos with anyone else! Lindsay treats you like part of her family and my girls start begging too see her again after each session. I know I will treasure her photos for a lifetime.”

Hi, I’m Lindsay!
For the past 11 years I have photographed over 700 newborns, and I also teach Newborn Mentoring & Training for other aspiring Newborn Photographers. There are many wonderful photographers in Salem, Oregon, but I’m so glad you found me.
I am a licensed and insured professional photographer, and have been serving expectant parents and growing families in Salem and the greater Portland area for 12 years. I provide timeless images you will still cherish 20 years from now, when your babies are grown.
I started my business photographing a friend’s newborn in my apartment living room, and fast forward 12 years, I now have a beautiful professional studio to welcome my clients to. I am so grateful and lucky that I followed my heart and my passion! Babies (and puppies :) have my heart.
While there are a million different styles of Newborn Photography, I always try to focus on images that I know parents will still love 20 years from now. I try not to follow fleeting trends too much, and instead focus on stunning, beautifully captured, timeless, modern, and clean images of your newborn. I want you to cherish your image for a lifetime, and focus on creating those types of images for you.
I have twin boys, (now toddlers! phew!) and they keep me laughing and on my toes everyday. I remember clearly what it’s like to be a new very exhausted parent, and I use this knowledge to make your time with me as easy and enjoyable as possible.
I get it. I know how hard it is to leave the house with your new baby, but I promise your experience with me will be lovely and you will be so grateful you did it.
Looking forward to meeting you and your brand new baby!
~ Lindsay
