Hello! My name is Lindsey, and I'm the sole photographer here at "Live, Laugh, Love Photography"!
​
So, let me get started by telling you a little about me.
​
I'm a wife, mother, adventurer, writer, and photographer.
​
I started taking pictures at a young age with disposable cameras and my mom's point and shoot. I was (and still am) a very outdoorsy girl who grew up in a small town on the Ohio River. I had daily access to the Mighty Ohio growing up and spent a lot of my time there, capturing moments that I would come to hold so dear later on when we moved to northern Ohio. I won't say they were great photos since I was just a child then, but to me now, they are irreplaceable. My boundless love for nature and that move gifted me with a passion that has only grown stronger over the years.
My husband purchased my first DSLR as a Christmas gift in 2013. I practiced for 3 years, every chance I could get (almost every day it seemed), taking photos of landscapes, scenery, objects, and people.
Then, we were married and the babies came. Everything seemed to happen in a whirlwind. Our 2 youngest are 10 months apart (should have been 12 months) due to medical complications. We've endured two long NICU stays. I've gone through 3 procedures and a biopsy in the last 2 years, and was diagnosed with IgA Nephropathy (kidney disease) in May of 2016. This does not currently inhibit me in any way.
All along the way, I've had several people tell me this is what I should be doing with my life. I had pondered it myself for years, but I knew it would be difficult being a small business owner.
​
Guess what? I didn't let that stop me. I started "Live, Laugh, Love Photography" in April 2016 and will continue to pour my heart and soul into every piece of work - every photograph...every kiss, birth, and special moment that comes my way.
​
I can be a little shy at first, but don't let that intimidate you! I'm very focused when I'm behind the lens, making sure everything is right to capture those amazing memories!
My ultimate goal is to make photography a little more affordable for everyone out there. No one should have to miss out on good, quality photos of their life defining moments because they simply can't afford to pay top dollar. Everyone deserves the chance to cherish each precious memory in print, the way they will always remember it. Sometimes, just holding a photograph can take you back to a place - a destination of happiness, laughter, and bliss; it can be an escape from ordinary life when it seems the world is closing in on you.
I hope you'll give me the opportunity to give you that. I look forward to working with you!
