"We have used Lindsay for our "fresh 48," newborn, six month and one year photos for both our children. Her photos are priceless, timeless keepsakes that capture the light, joy, and energy of these special moments. From prep to "day of" to delivery, Lindsay is above and beyond. In advance of your photo shoot, she is very detail-oriented and provides location coordination, outfit/props support and recommendations, discusses poses, tone, and goals of the shoot so she is perfectly aligned. Her warm personality and incredible "touch" with kids makes the day of stress-free and dare I say even fun. As someone who hates getting my picture taken and never knows how to pose, I just let Lindsay tell me what to do and work her magic. She's exceptional with our children and manages to capture their SMILES and personality with ease ... though I'm still not sure how she gets as many smiles as she does. She edits and turns around photos very quickly (days to a week rather than some photographers who drag on and on) and believe me when I say I am always BLOWN AWAY by the photos. There are always so many and far more than I ever expect given that she gets ya in and gets it done. Couldn't recommend more highly if you want natural, beautiful, bright and joyful photos. "
Fun, effortless, and beautifully memorable—as your Austin family photographer,
that’s what I want your photoshoot to feel like.
With over a decade of experience,

All session locations are chosen by collaboration with you to bring your unique vision to life. I am happy to do on location or an
in-home session. There is also a great shared natural light photography studio in town that is available for rent.
Golden hour is the most beautiful light of the day and the time when all my outdoor sessions are scheduled (about 1 hour prior to sunset). I do not book any outdoor sessions mid-day, but I can book sunrise sessions if that works better with your schedule.
In-home sessions are usually scheduled in the morning before nap-time for little ones.
Studio sessions are best between 9am - 11am.
After booking, retainers are non-refundable, as I am holding the date for you and turning away other clients.
If you need to reschedule, you must notify me at least 72 hours in advance.
Rescheduling during fall & spring (my busy seasons) is extremely challenging and may result in a weekday or different season date.
If your session date gets rained out or has winds in excess of 20mph, we can reschedule for another date.
Depending on location and wind velocity, I may suggest a location change in order to
conduct your photo session on the scheduled date if needed.
Booking well in advance for a family photo session is recommended! My wait times for spring and fall season can range
from 3-5 months in advance. Session dates are booked on a first come, first serve basis and only held once a retainer
has been received. Please don't wait if you are inquiring for a fall or spring date. These go really fast!
Newborn & branding sessions are always welcome any time of year as they can be booked during weekdays too!
turn moments into memories; businesses into brands
