 Testimonials

"Thank you so much for taking pictures of my precious baby! I cannot even express how pleased and touched I am by these photos. The shoot was absolutely amazing and so were you. You have such a gentle touch, and made us feel so comfortable and at ease. I am in LOVE with these pictures of Darya!!!! You are truly talented!!! We are definitely planning to come back and getting pictures with you when she's a few months older and can smile! " - Nastia

"We have had both newborn and 1 year photos done. The quality is amazing! I have been so impressed with your patience. During our sessions, I watched as you handled a crying baby who refused to sleep, a busy toddler, and a young boy who hates to have his picture taken...yet each time, you have captured their true, fun, loving personalities (which is no easy feat). Your passion for what you do really shows through in the final product. We have been beyond happy each time. You are an amazing photographer, and an equally wonderful person! We have truly enjoyed working with you. I can guarantee if there is another baby in our future, our newborn photographer will be an easy choice! Thank you for the priceless images that we will cherish forever!" - Justi

"I just wanted to tell you what a blessing the pictures you took for us were - especially the ones you so graciously took on Friday...Those family pictures were as if God was holding up a mirror right in front of me reminding me how richly He has blessed me...If God blesses me with the gift of old age, I am certain I will be staring at and loving those pictures when I'm 90." - Leslie

"I am just now sitting down at my computer and opened this email with these beautiful pictures. Dirk and I absolutely love them! Everything about this experience has been wonderful. My boys have mentioned several times how fun taking pictures was, Levi even drew you a picture. It is a picture of you taking our pictures in the park! You captured every sweet and moment so beautifully...you've got a gift Lindsay! I know photography is another way God will bless many people through you. Be sure you are a blessing to our family and we will think of you and be thankful for you each time we look at the pictures for years to come! - Valerie

"Lindsay was happy to accommodate our time frame, and was prepared, with a smile, when we arrived for our shoot. I am usually the one behind the lens, so my daughter is comfortable in front of the camera, but my husband and I are not. Despite this, Lindsay put us at ease, efficiently capturing beautiful shots and then moving us along to the next idea. She gladly incorporated ideas I had given her beforehand and also produced many fresh shots on her own. We were very pleased with the end result, as well as how quickly we got to see our photos. Thank you, Lindsay!" - Charissa

"Our experience with Lindsay was great. She captured the various moods of our daughter so well, pouting included! She made sure the baby was calm and comfortable, which reflects in the beautiful pictures she takes. The session was a breeze and she was so comfortable doing it, I couldn't believe she has been doing this for only a year! The quality of her work speaks for her. Long story short, I would definitely recommend Lindsay. I know I'll be going back. " - Swapna
