Simple Sophistication
Here’s the thing: family time on the water is more than just a day at the lake—it’s the sound of laughter echoing across the waves, the thrill of a perfect wakeboarding run, the joy of catching that smooth surf behind the boat, and the quiet moments spent watching the sunset together.
One day, those carefree boat rides and adrenaline-filled rides will turn into stories your kids tell their own families. Your tweens and teens who might roll their eyes at a posed family photo still light up when they’re doing something they love—and that’s where the magic happens. Life moves fast, but these lake days? They deserve to be celebrated.
That’s where on-the-lake photography comes in—capturing your family doing what they love, surrounded by the beauty of Lake Travis or Lake Austin. Whether it’s wakeboarding, surfing, or simply soaking up the sun together, every authentic smile, playful splash, and triumphant moment is preserved in stunning, natural light. These aren’t stiff, posed photos—they’re real memories of your family’s favorite place, frozen in time.
Because while the waves may keep rolling, these moments together? They’re one of a kind. Let’s capture them beautifully, so you’ll have something to treasure forever.

"Lindsay has so much talent and a great eye. Our family had a wonderful experience with her and the photographs are mind blowing.

I recommend summer scheduling. Mid June through late August is ideal for warm weather and plenty of in-the-water action photos! Plus, you'll check off holiday photos from your to do list a little early.
I suggest wearing what you typically wear on the lake to keep it authentic. But, if you are looking for a little direction, bright colors photograph beautifully & add an element of playfulness and fun to the photos.
Included in your photo session is a minimum of 40 color images + black and whites for a total of at least 80 edited images. Delivery is through Pic-Time for easy access, sharing & print purchases if you choose.
Printed photos are a celebration of life! I believe in getting your photos off digital devices & into your home. Because of this, your photo session comes with a photo credit to high quality, professional print labs.
