I INITIALLY SAW LINDSAY’S WORK FROM MY GOOD FRIEND’S SISTER’S WEDDING. THE IMAGES SHE CAPTURED WERE PURE MAGIC AND UNLIKE ANY PHOTOS I HAVE EVER SEEN. I KNEW I WANTED TO HIRE HER FOR OUR ENGAGEMENT SESSION BACK IN DECEMBER OF 2021. THE MOMENT WE MET HER, SHE WAS SO WARM, FUN, AUTHENTIC AND TALENTED. OUR PHOTOS CAME OUT STUNNING DESPITE US BEING SO AWKWARD AT TAKING PHOTOS. IT WAS NONNEGOTIABLE TO DO WHATEVER WE HAD TO, TO GET LINZ TO TRAVEL TO COLORADO TO CAPTURE OUR WEDDING DAY THIS PAST SEPTEMBER. THIS WOMAN IS INCREDIBLY TALENTED AND HAS AN AMAZING SOUL AND ENERGY ABOUT HER. SHE TRULY PUTS EVERYTHING SHE HAS INTO HER WORK AND ENSURING HER CLIENTS ARE TAKEN CARE OF AND LOOKS OUT FOR YOUR BEST INTEREST WHILE RUNNING AROUND DOCUMENTING YOUR DAY IN THE MOST ARTISTIC WAY POSSIBLE. SHE HAS A GIFT, AND WE ARE SO GRATEFUL WE FOUND HER.

absolutely incredible in every aspect of her work. honestly felt natural to have her there- as weird as that may sound when talking about someone pointing a camera in your face. Even some of our guests came up to me to compliment us on our choice of photographer because everyone enjoyed having her around. I'm so in love with every single one of her pictures that I can't decide which ones I want to print off and hang up in my house

I recently had the pleasure of working with Lindsay and I cannot express how delighted we are with the entire experience.Planning a wedding is undoubtedly a stressful process, but Lindsay's warm and reassuring demeanor made the photography aspect of it a breeze. She had a remarkable ability to capture not just the moments but the emotions that made our day so special. What sets Lindsay apart is her dedication to understanding her clients. She took the time to get to know us, our story, and our vision for the day. This personal touch translated into a set of photos that felt uniquely tailored to our personalities and the atmosphere of our wedding.

Lindsay has a remarkable ability to make you feel at ease in front of the camera. Her approach is relaxed, creating an environment where we could be ourselves and let our personalities shine. This resulted in a collection of photos that captured the genuine joy and connection between us, rather than staged poses. One of the aspects we appreciated the most was Lindsay's flexibility and adaptability. She effortlessly embraced spontaneity, encouraging us to be ourselves and capturing those candid, in-between moments that often tell the most genuine stories. The result was a set of images that felt not only visually stunning but also authentic and true to who we are as a couple. the photographs exceeded our expectations. The images tell a story of love, laughter, and the unique connection we share, and we couldn't be happier with the results.
