Meet your Photographer
Welcome to my page!
I’m Lynse—so glad you’re here.
Life moves fast, and the moments you want to remember most often slip by the quickest. That’s where I come in.
Photography has been part of my story for as long as I can remember. What began as a simple love for connecting with people and celebrating life has grown into a career centered on preserving what matters most—your people, your season, your story.
Becoming a mom completely reshaped the way I see the world and my work. I felt firsthand how quickly tiny hands grow, routines change, and seasons pass. I started documenting those fleeting moments for my own family, and soon realized I wanted to help other families hold onto theirs, too.
Since 2010, I’ve had the joy of photographing families across the country, creating colorful, energetic, and heartfelt images that feel real—never stiff or forced. My sessions are relaxed and connection-driven, focused on capturing genuine emotion, playful interaction, and the beautiful in-between moments you’ll want to remember years from now. The greatest reward is watching clients see their galleries and recognize themselves—laughs, love, chaos, and all.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me outdoors exploring and hiking, chasing creative inspiration in nature, or spending time with my boys. As a military spouse, I’ve embraced a life filled with adventure, movement, and meaningful connections in every place we call home.
If you’re looking for more than just photos—if you want images that feel like your life—I would love to work with you. Let’s create something meaningful together.

TESTIMONIALS
"We loved our photo shoots (maternity and newborn) with Lynse.
She had a ton of creative ideas and a plethora of props for us to play around with.
Most importantly she knew that newborns are unpredictable and she was 100% prepared for that. So thankful she was our photographer!" ~ Elizabeth
"Lynse has done my family’s photos for a few years. She is great with couples, families, maternity shoots, and kids (newborn and up). I was always blown away by her professionalism, ideas, and, especially, the quality of work. We have since moved from her location, and there is not a 'photo moment' that doesn’t pass where I don’t think, 'Lynse would do such a great job shooting this for our family.' It was a always a pleasure to work with her." ~Megan
"What an amazing photographer!! We had Lynse take photos of our newborn son. She was so patient with us and our little guy. Our son had plans of his own for our photo shoot. Lynse just rolled with it and in the end we received beautiful photos! We were so pleased with the results. I would definitely recommend Lynse. Hoping we can get some family photos done with her in the future!" ~Carol
"Lynse is a wonderful photographer. We took some much needed family photos and Lynse captured some amazing shots. With 3 kids 3 and under I was worried we wouldn’t be able to get many good pictures but Lynse made my kids feel so comfortable. She was so patient with them and had lots of fun props to get their attention. She even helped me coordinate our outfits before hand! She’s amazing!!" ~Lauren
"It was relaxing and enjoyable to work with Lynse. She took the most amazing Fall photos of my family (doggies included). We received numerous compliments on our Christmas card and how the pictures looked like they could be on a magazine cover. Lynse is great with kids and she made us feel very comfortable during the shoot. Very happy that we chose Lynse to capture some great shots that we will have forever!" ~Brit
