Lindsay Blackman is the owner and lead photographer behind LiveJoy Photography, an award-winning newborn and family photography studio based in Salem, Oregon. With over 11 years of experience and more than 700 newborns photographed, Lindsay is known for creating soft, timeless images and a calm, supportive experience for every family she works with.

As a mother of twin toddler boys, she understands the beautiful chaos of early parenthood. Her sessions are designed to be peaceful, efficient, and stress-free — with every detail thoughtfully planned so you can relax and soak in the moment.

Clients typically reserve their sessions 2–3 months in advance to ensure availability.

Newborn safety is always her top priority, and she remains fully up to date on vaccinations and health protocols.
