Grand Rapids, MI family photographer
for playful families.
I'm probably not the right family photographer for you if...
...you desire to have perfectly posed shots of everyone looking at the camera. You won't always get that with me. I prefer playful over perfect. My sessions are geared towards games and connection, not stiff poses. I encourage wild, untamed, and adventurous play.
...you need everyone's clothes to match. If you need to curl everybody’s hair and have everything in exact order, I'm not that type of photographer. In fact, if your kids want to wear capes or bring magic wands, I’m all in.
...you're seeking a highly structured and cookie-cutter experience. While I use fun prompts to guide you, I also check in throughout the process to ensure everyone is comfortable. I trust your children to know their limits, and I’m more than willing to follow them into the waves or up a tree.

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.
