Simple Sophistication
Here’s the thing: childhood is made of fleeting, magical moments—tiny fingers that squeeze yours so tight, belly laughs that echo through the house, and quiet glances filled with more love than words could ever say.
One day, your toddler’s chubby hands will grow into confident ones waving as they rush out the door, and your tween who’s “too cool” for hugs will still lean on you in ways that matter most. Life moves fast, but these moments? They deserve to be paused.
That’s where I come in - your Austin lifestyle family photographer—capturing your family as you are, bathed in beautiful, natural light that lets every genuine smile, every playful embrace, and every tender connection shine. These aren’t stiff poses or forced grins—they’re real, heartfelt memories frozen in time.
Because while the days might feel long, these years? They’re fleeting. Let’s create something you’ll hold close forever.
You value high-quality, professional photography that captures your family’s genuine connection and beautiful moments.
You love the idea of light-filled images edited in timeless rich color, that feel natural, warm, and full of emotion—never stiff or overly posed.
You want a session that’s playful and fun but still professional, with plenty of guidance so you feel confident every step of the way.
You’re ready to stop putting off family photos and finally have memories captured with care, attention to detail, & a stress-free experience.
"We have been using Lindsay Herkert for our family holiday photos since 2021, and we absolutely LOVE her! Lindsay is fabulous with kids, even our small baby, and puts an incredible amount of time and care into every session. She always has creative and thoughtful ideas for posing our family of five, making the whole experience fun and relaxed.
What sets Lindsay apart is her attention to detail and excellent communication from start to finish. Beyond just taking photos, she offers a wide range of services and products that make the entire process seamless. We were initially drawn to her because of her beautiful editing style, which my husband, a professional photographer himself, is quite particular about, and Lindsay has exceeded our expectations every time.
If you're looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also truly invested in capturing your family’s special moments, Lindsay is the one! Highly recommend! "

Once we’ve locked in your date, we’ll start with the location. It’s one of the most important parts of a successful photoshoot!

Don't choose a park near your house out of convenience! Are there buildings in the background? Is it busy? What is the light like? All of these things matter! Choose from my location guide or ask me to look at a location you are interested in. Let's get it right!

I'm often asked how many images are included in the price. Although I can't say exactly, you can expect a minimum of 50 color images + black & whites for a total of at least 100 edited images. Delivery is through Pic-Time for easy access
& sharing.
Printed photos are a celebration of life! I believe in getting your photos off digital devices & into your hands & home. Your photo session comes with a photo credit to professional, high quality print labs
