Hey there, I’m Lindsay, a fine art photographer who turned my passion for being a mom into a passion for empowering the moms around me! I’m a Nashville and Franklin, TN photographer capturing maternity, newborn, milestones, and families in lifestyle, natural light, and studio settings.

My style of photography has always been cozy-and-connected. It’s a phrase I coined at the beginning of my journey, and it’s where the concept of “Lived-In” was born.

I’m overjoyed to be coaching fellow photographers on how to embrace in-home photography, how to capture true connection, and break free of the traditional family photography mold. I’ve created a mastermind for family photographers with the desire to create love-infused imagery filled with connection — no matter where you’re shooting.

This mastermind is a blueprint that gives you the tools you need to walk confidently into your in-home sessions!

A thriving business and creative freedom awaits!

Let me ask you something… Are your sessions all starting to feel the same? Are you yearning for dream clients and sessions that spark your creativity? The Lived-In mastermind is your ticket to time freedom AND creative freedom! 

Building a photography business can feel like a never-ending hustle. You’re fighting to find your style, fighting to find your ideal clients, and fighting to find a price point that blesses your clients and allows you to run a business. But what if you could finally command the prices you deserve and work with clients who are ready for your services?! The Lived-In mastermind equips you with the tools to attract high-value clients and book sessions that ignite your passion!!

There’s a whole new level of creative freedom and thriving business waiting for you on the other side. Friend, this mastermind is your key to unlocking it.

My Lived-In approach changed the way I viewed family sessions and transformed my schedule to work for me, not against me.
The best news? I want the same for you!


Lived-In changed the way I viewed family sessions. 

I used to walk into family sessions with a checklist of poses and images I thought I “needed” to get each time. I would get discouraged if I couldn’t get perfect smiles and cooperative kids. Sometimes the sessions felt stressed, rushed, and not genuine.

At one point, I remember walking out of a family session almost in tears because it was so stressful. The parents were frustrated, the kids were wild, and I was just hoping I had gotten a couple of good photos. I knew I didn’t want to run my business this way… There had to be a better approach. Family sessions didn’t need to be forced, stressful, and not genuine.

By taking a step back and re-evaluating how I ran my sessions, I learned exactly how I could improve the experience for everyone! By getting to know my families, learning what is meaningful to them, and allowing kids to be kids, my sessions went from forced to fun! 

We don’t need hundreds of images of our families with fake smiles! What we need (and crave) is a way to bottle up memories. 

Lived-In transformed my schedule. 

Raise your hand if you’re a homebody?! Believe me, friend, I’m right there with you!
I have always been a homebody, especially once I started having children.

Several years ago, I left my career as a nurse. I wanted to spend more time watching my girls run around the house and jump on the couch together, singing the latest Disney song. I had this huge desire to capture those same sweet memories for my clients. At the same time, I wanted to be home in time to take in those moments with my own kiddos. 

Adapting to a new type of family session allowed me to do this.
I wasn’t waiting around for golden hour and the perfect outdoor lighting to hit. I was having my sessions in the mornings and early afternoons and making it home in time for after school stories, dinner, and snuggles. 

And in doing so? The most magical thing happened… I was working with families that valued the same things I did – time with each other! They had the same values as me which made the process that much smoother. I was able to store up my creative energy working with families that felt completely aligned with the heart and soul of my business.

So what are you waiting for? My current Lived-In mastermind is already underway. Join the waitlist here to get all the details for when the doors open for the next round. A thriving business and creative freedom awaits!
