Kind Words and Testimonials

A Heartfelt Thank You From Your

Portland Oregon Newborn Photographer

As a professional newborn photographer in Salem, Oregon and serving all of Portland, Oregon, I feel incredibly blessed to have met some of the most wonderful families over my 12-year career in newborn and baby photography. Looking back on my journey in the newborn photography industry, I'm overwhelmed by the beautiful connections I've made while capturing precious moments of your newborns as they first joined us earthside.

To all my amazing clients who have trusted me with not only your newborn photography needs: but also your stories. Your hearts. Your inspiration. Your strength. Your tenacity. Your trust. THANK YOU a million times over. You've filled these 12 years with more joy, more tiny toes, and more heart-melting smiles than I ever thought possible. You're not just clients; your family.

I share these quotes not as a boost to me, but as a reminder that I am not here without YOU. My amazing clients are the heartbeat of my business, and the reason I continue to work so hard every single day.

Here's to many more years of baby snuggles, proud parent smiles, and creating memories that'll last way longer than those midnight feedings (promise!).

Thank you Oregon parents! And for those of you I haven’t met yet, I am excitedly awaiting your little one’s arrival!

“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!—

“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”
