Hello, I’m Lindsay.
I am a storyteller, a mother, and a moment catcher – guided not only by light and shadow, but by emotion, nuance, and the quieter layers of life that often go unseen.
When I was five years old, a childhood bicycle accident left me 100% blind in my left eye. Rather than dimming my world, it sharpened my way of seeing. I fell in love with photography through the texture of film, learning to experiment in the darkroom with light, chemicals, and intention. I didn’t just take photos – I created them, letting curiosity lead the way.
My path into newborn photography began after my first child was born in 2008. The tenderness of those early days lit something in me: a passion for capturing connection, love, and the fleeting moments that make a family’s story. For over a decade, I photographed Sarasota area newborns and families, pouring my heart into every frame. Many of the cozy bonnets and delicate headbands in my sessions were hand-knit by me – a merging of my love for fiber art and newborn imagery. I even began creating and selling these pieces to photographers around the world.
Behind the scenes, though, I was carrying struggles I didn’t yet have language for. I often experienced the world in ways that felt more intense, more sensitive, more overwhelming than those around me. Eventually, I found clarity in understanding myself through a new lens – one that helped me make sense of my sensory experience, my deep empathy, and the way I process the world. Around this time, I stepped away from client work to focus on raising my five children – including a set of twins – and to begin a long journey of healing and self discovery.
It was during this season that I turned the camera inward. I explored everyday life with my children, finding art in the mundane. I also began creating expressive self-portraits as a way to process emotion and identity, translating invisible stories into visual form. Photography became a quiet language through which I could speak. Over time, my work evolved into something deeply personal – and deeply honest.
This journey eventually led me to Click Pro, where my perspective found recognition and community.
While I am now back to professionally photographing newborns and families (you can find that work at Purely Precious Portraiture), this space is where I share something different. This is where I explore photography as a personal language – a way of interpreting the world around and within me.
My personal photography is rooted in empathy, shaped by a perspective that doesn’t always fit the mold – but sees beauty where others may not look. I find endless joy and growth in documenting the everyday magic of life with my children, preserving fleeting moments that are rich with texture, emotion, and meaning. My language is light, color, texture, and emotion. Self-portraiture, especially, has become a powerful creative outlet: a way for me to explore identity, healing, and expression from within – and express experiences that don’t always fit into words.
In my life’s journey, the challenge of visual impairment and my unique perspective became a catalyst for a distinct visual language. Each photograph is a testament to resilience, an invitation to see the world through a different lens, and a celebration of the vibrant stories that unfold in the midst of life’s moments. Photography continues to be my way of processing the world – a world that often feels overwhelmingly intricate, but also achingly beautiful. Through this art, I find grounding, meaning, and connection. I’m honored to share my world with you – capturing the magic of every day life and the kaleidoscope of life’s narratives, one frame at a time.
