What to Expect

Whether it’s your first or fifteenth time having professional photos made, not to worry: I’ll walk you through the whole thing from start to finish.  

Step 1: Book a Call 

We’ll have a quick phone consultation to talk about your expectations and go over any questions or concerns you might have before we decide whether to make your session official. I’ll cover my process and all the pricing details (no surprises later), along with answering any questions you have. It’s important to me to learn a little about everyone, even your furry family members! Rest assured, there's no sales pitch or pressure to commit. It's an opportunity for both of us to determine if we're a good fit. If we decide to work together, you’ll pay a $200 session fee to hold your date and time.Click here to get in touch!

Step 2: Ready for Fun!

To make sure you're fully prepared, I'll send you a "What to Expect" guide. This comprehensive document will answer all your questions, providing insights into how to prepare for your playful family photo shoot. From tips on how to relax beforehand to what to do with phones and bags, this guide is designed to ensure your experience is enjoyable, stress-free, and results in stunning family memories.

Step 3: Preview your images 

Around two to three weeks after your session, I’ll send you a private link to view your beautifully edited images—hooray! Once you’ve had a chance to preview them all, you can decide which ones you’d like to purchase.

Step 4: Choose your Collection 

Along with a virtual stack of digital images, each collection option comes with a print credit, so you can get your favorite pictures where they belong: in print, where you can see them each and every day.The collection options range between $600 and $1025, depending on the number of digital images you need. All told, my clients invest between $800 and $1225 in their images.

In each session:

I capture a mix of candid moments and what I call "the secret sauce" for capturing those genuine connections and laughter in front of the camera. Whether it's a quirky question, a playful prompt, or a hilarious challenge, we'll turn those moments into unforgettable shots that showcase the true spirit of your family. Get ready for a laughter-filled photo session where every click tells a story.

I want you to relax and enjoy your family, knowing that you will leave this experience with tangible evidence of your connection to each other, moments in time you can treasure long after your little ones are grown.


Trying to decide on an In-Home or Into the Wild?

Let's start with a few questions; Are you the type that treasures home sweet home, embracing the chaos of everyday life? Or do you lean more towards outdoor adventures, conquering streams, woods, and local parks? Let's unravel your family's narrative and pick the perfect backdrop for our photographic adventure!

No matter the location we'll engage in fun activities and genuine connections. 



Inclusivity and Diversity

Inclusivity is woven into the very fabric of LR Photos. I am committed to creating a welcoming space where everyone can authentically express themselves. Regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, religion, disability, or background, you are embraced and celebrated here. I believe deeply that everyone is worthy of love and belonging and has the right to beautiful images that reflect their unique story and connections.

If you disagree with me on this, there are plenty of other photographers out there in the Grand Rapids area who can better serve your needs.

Hi, I'm Lindsay of LR Photos. 

My car bumper sticker says "Dangerous Women Read". My home is covered in plants and I'm always looking for the next great park to hike or river to kayak. 

I love to photograph playful untamed families because as a mom I know what it's like to worry about my family being accepted with all our little quirks.

With me you belong, your family is safe, and there's no pressure to be something you're not.
