Hi, I’m Lindsay!
For the past 11 years I have photographed over 700 newborns, and I also teach Newborn Mentoring & Training for other aspiring Newborn Photographers.
I am a licensed and insured professional photographer, and have been serving expectant parents and growing families from the Portland area for 12 years. I provide timeless images you will still cherish 20 years from now, when your babies are grown.
I started my business photographing a friend’s newborn in my apartment living room, and fast forward 12 years, I now have a beautiful professional studio to welcome my clients to. I am so grateful and lucky that I followed my heart and my passion! Babies (and puppies :) have my heart.
While there are a million different styles of Newborn Photography, I always try to focus on images that I know parents will still love 20 years from now. I try not to follow fleeting trends too much, and instead focus on stunning, beautifully captured, timeless, modern, and clean images of your newborn. I want you to cherish your image for a lifetime, and focus on creating those types of images for you.
I have twin boys, (now toddlers! phew!) and they keep me laughing and on my toes everyday. I remember clearly what it’s like to be a new very exhausted parent, and I use this knowledge to make your time with me as easy and enjoyable as possible.
I get it. I know how hard it is to leave the house with your new baby, but I promise your experience with me will be lovely and you will be so grateful you did it.
Looking forward to meeting you and your brand new baby!
