My style of photography has always been cozy and connected. It’s a phrase I coined at the beginning of my photography journey. It’s where the concept of “Lived-In” was born, and now that has grown into my group coaching program called the Lived-In Mastermind!

In this season of business, I’m overjoyed to be coaching other photographers on how to embrace in-home photography, how to capture true connection, and how they can break free of the traditional family photography mold.  

This recent session with the Paul family was nothing short of amazing! This session is the perfect example of how I love to let interactions naturally unfold during a lived-in session and how beautiful that chaos can be. Grace, the beautiful mama in these photos, is a local photographer. She has 5 amazing boys and just had her 6th baby… A girl! Her kiddos have the most gentle and welcoming spirit. This lived-in session was a joy from the very first moment that we started the session.

Thinking back to a few years ago, I found myself feeling stuck — overwhelmed by the pressure of perfect smiles, rigid poses, and a never-ending checklist of “must-have” shots. I knew there had to be a better way. That’s when I developed the Lived-In approach, which has completely transformed the way I photograph families and run my business. And now, I’m here to teach you how to do the same!

If you’re a photographer that is ready to:

• Photograph more genuine, meaningful moments that reflect real family life
• Bring a fresh, relaxed energy to your sessions
• Walk into in-home sessions with confidence, creativity, and ease
• Attract clients who value connection over perfection
• Build a business that gives you both creative and financial freedom

The doors are now open to sign up for the next round of the Lived-In Mastermind with Lindsay Reed Photography! It’s not just about taking better photos — it’s about crafting a thriving, joyful business that aligns with your values and gives you the freedom to truly enjoy your work and life.
