From Families I’ve Had the Honor to Photograph
What Families Are Saying
Lindsay with LiveJoy Photography is truly amazing. She helped capture newborn and family photos for us in her professional, well equipped, and comfortable home studio. Being freshly postpartum, I was nervous to take family photos but Lindsay made me feel so comfortable and helped me find flattering poses. I am very pleased with the final product and know we will treasure the photos she captured forever!
RachelleLindsay at LiveJoy Photography has been photographing our family for over 10 years—newborn sessions, yearly family photos, holidays, and so many important milestones with our four kids. We’ve done over 30 sessions with her, and every one has been a great experience. She’s kind, welcoming, and incredibly supportive. She makes the whole process easy and comfortable for everyone involved.
I’m so grateful for the photos she’s given us. Every time I look back on them, I’m reminded how special those moments were. They’re beautiful, meaningful, and full of emotion. Even after all these years, I’m still impressed by her creativity and the way she turns simple poses or backdrops into something amazing.
Photography is truly her art, and it shows. I couldn’t be more thankful for the memories she’s helped capture for our family.
ChelseaLindsay is amazing! She did our maternity and newborn photos. We loved how they turned out. Her studio is really cute and a private, comfortable place for the photos. For the newborn photos, she was so patient and took so much time to make sure she got the shots we wanted. She had a ton of options for swaddles, headbands, etc. We will cherish these photos forever! Can’t wait to go back to her for our girl’s one year :)
Shandi“Lindsay is simply the greatest in every aspect. Her talent, kindness, communication and skill set are unmatched. The images she creates are worth every penny. Thank you, LiveJoy Photography, for living up to your name and for flawlessly capturing such a special season of our lives.
~ Rachel“There aren't enough words to express our gratitude. YOU ARE AMAZING! We feel sincerely blessed to have crossed paths with you. The gallery of photos you created is incredibly precious. You've done a beautiful job throughout, from inception via email, to the warm welcome upon meeting, to your delicate poses, your attire with props, your attentiveness when ordering, your graceful editing and to finishing! But what makes you extra special is what you can't see. Your endearing and gentle finesse with not only our baby, but with our family as well is a dream. You're a very special human being Lindsay. Thank you, for everything!
~ J.S.Lindsay has done newborn photos for both of my girls, now 9 and 4, and some family photos. Watching her work with newborns is fascinating and amazing. So much skill and knowledge, so much tenderness and care, and it shows in the final photos. I regret almost everything I've ever spent money on, but not the photos we have of the girls. So very worth it! She's the best!

“Lindsay is amazing at what she does. My husband and I had both our maternity sessions, our newborn sessions (she is a baby whisperer), milestone session, family session, and then most recently, our little ones first birthday session.Take a look at her Portfolio. Her photos are beautiful and she has a way of capturing such precious moments. We have an entire hallway photo gallery of photos she has taken that we look at every day!:) So grateful for all the beautiful memories and we look forward to continuing to work with her for years to come”

A Note From Your Salem, Oregon Newborn Photographer
For over 13 years, I’ve had the honor of photographing newborns and growing families across Salem, Portland, and the Willamette Valley.
I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person handling your baby. That kind of trust isn’t small… especially in those early days when everything still feels new.
These first weeks are tender, emotional, and often a blur.
Being invited into that space is something I never take lightly.
Every message you see here comes from real families who were once in your exact shoes… wondering if they were choosing the right photographer, hoping their baby would be in gentle, experienced hands.
My hope is that their kind words help you feel a little more at ease, a little more confident, and truly cared for before you even walk through my doors.
