“Lindsay is a serious baby whisperer. I I have never witnessed skills like hers.
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.“

Lindsay treats you like part of her family
"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 Your Salem & Portland Newborn & Family Photographer
With years of experience and a safety-first approach, I guide families through one of the most tender seasons of life with calm care.
From the moment I photographed my first newborn over 13 years ago, I knew this was more than a career, it was a calling. Capturing the sacred, fleeting beginnings of life has become my life’s greatest work, and I am honored and grateful for every brand new little face I have been entrusted to work with.
📍 While Based in Salem, Oregon, I also provide services to new parents in Portland and all families across the Willamette Valley, I am located just an hour from Portland and Eugene. I offer a peaceful, private home studio designed around comfort, safety, and luxury. As an award-winning, recognized, and established newborn photographer, you can rest easy knowing your baby is in expert hands.
I have spent over a decade working primarily with newborns, supported by ongoing education and safety training. Sessions are completely baby-led, unhurried, and rooted in careful handling. Your baby is never asked to do anything unsafe, and comfort always comes first. You will be nearby relaxing, and watching the entire time. Your baby will never be out of your sight.
As both a twin mother and a newborn photographer, I know how vulnerable it feels to place your baby in someone else’s hands, and I will ensure you feel nothing but trust in me, and will communicate and explain everything we are doing as we go. With almost 1000 newborns photographed in my career, I can promise you a trustworthy experience.
MY SESSIONS ARE SLOW, QUIET, AND GENTLE. THEY ARE CRAFTED AROUND YOUR BABY'S NEEDS AND YOUR EMOTIONAL WELLBEING.
All Salem and Portland newborn photo sessions include full access to my curated collection of high-end props, tiny outfits, and heirloom-quality accessories. Along with everything parents need for a safe and relaxing experience.
EVERY SESSION IS:
• fully guided
• thoughtfully planned
• centered on your baby’s safety and comfort
From how I prepare my studio, to how I pose and soothe newborns, to how I help you choose artwork for your home, every step is intentional.
BEHIND THE SCENES, THIS LOOKS LIKE:
• A calm, sanitized, baby-led studio environment
• Curated props, wraps, and wardrobe
• Flexible scheduling based on your baby, not the calendar
• Artwork and heirloom products designed to live beyond your phone
Let’s create together the keepsakes your future self (and your beautiful baby) will be forever grateful for.
