"Lindsay is not only a flawless photographer, but an incredible friend and mentor as well. I was lucky enough to live on the same street as her during her (far too brief, in my opinion!) time in Maryland and marveled at not only her finished product but her technique as well. She is quick to get her shots, keeping the attention of my energetic boys, without them getting tired of posing. She also has a great ability to spot a gorgeous background where anyone else would see a boring fence or patch of trees.

Since the birth of my second child 5 years ago, I have not taken a fraction of the amount of photos I took of my first. Lindsay not only encouraged me to pick up my dslr and start shooting again, she made sure I knew how to actually use my camera and not just shoot in auto mode. We use different machines, her a Canon and I a Nikon, but she played around with my settings until she figured them out to make sure I had the most control over my camera by showing me how to shoot in manual mode, teaching me about lighting and metering, and which type of lens would be best for shooting portraits. She also taught me how to work better around Photoshop and Lightroom to perfect my photos- even though she’s in a time zone 6 hours behind me, she never fails to answer any and all questions I have! She is 100% the reason I’ve turned my hobby into a money making photography business. I can’t praise her enough!!"
