"For years, I had admired high quality photography on the web. I longed to find something of this caliber and style to capture my family, but I had no idea where to start. We have had plenty of family photos done in the past and have been pleased with them. But, after seeing the results of Lindsay's art, I was moved to tears. I have never been happier with family photos! In addition to the incredible skill, she is a joy to work with. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. We've already booked our second session and look forward to working with her for many years to come."

"At first glance, I knew Lindsay was going to be awesome. She had confidence and a photographers swagger :) Everything with Lindsay Alexander Photography exceded all my expectations. She told me what to do, how to stand and made everything comfortable along the way. When i recieved the photos, I was floored. We have the perfect photos to last a lifetime. The colors, the poses, everything was incredible. I highly recommend her to anyone that has photography needs."
- Matt and Holly M
"Lindsay was wonderful to work with! She was extremely caring and very professional. We were not only in love with the photos she was able to capture but also how quickly we received the finished product. She was so patient with our dog that was quite distracted at the beginning of the shoot and went above and beyond to get some beautiful images. We were more than satisfied with the incredible photos we received. We are looking forward to her capturing our future memories!"
- Sarah W
"Lindsay took our family and blessed us with beautiful pictures that we never knew we could get. In the four years since my son was born, we have just had picture shots of him, and not the whole family. When it came time for us to eventually have some snapshots done, we were referred to her website and immediately feel in love. The quality of her pictures are beyond any measure you can imagine. Lindsay is truly an inspirational photographer! She knew what we were looking for even though we had never met! The creativity and resourcefulness Lindsay possess came right out in her photographs!! We can't wait to book another session with her!"
- Jodi B
"There are people in life that God crosses in our paths at the perfect time and Lindsay is one of them. When I met Lindsay for the first time, I immediately knew that she was eye I wanted behind the camera for our wedding day and the special moments leading up to it! When I called Lindsay (less than 24 hours after we met) and asked her to be our photographer, we both shrieked on the phone and the excitement began.
I had no doubt that we would fall in love with the pictures taken but WOW- Mark and I are still speechless. Lindsay truly captured us with her camera. The amazing love that we have been blessed with speaks for itself through her images. We be-bopped around NoDa, making picture pit- stops on railroad tracks, a fire station and even in the middle of the street! From the use of the fun colored walls to the fun props she surprised us with, I feel as though Lindsay is a photography genius! We had a blast, Lindsay and will treasure these photos forever. Cant wait to do it again in September! "
- Nina & Mark
"Lindsay is an amazing photographer. In addition to being patient and quick to accommodate our hyper four year old lab Lindsay managed to keep it fun too. She gives great direction and doesnt make you aware when she is around, something very important to me as I am camera shy. She took the most precious pictures of Leo we have ever seen. We would recommend her in a heartbeat and cannot wait to do more sessions with her as our family grows."
- Meg & Jim
"Driving to our scheduled photo shoot I was praying for no rain, no rain, no rain and it started raining. After speaking to Lindsay on the phone, we decided to keep going and we would try to get a few shots in and come back another day if it continued to rain. Got to the site and all of the sudden it stopped raining, it was a miracle, so we kept going as planned. It was the best decision Ive ever made!
There are not enough words to describe Lindsay Alexander and the talent that she has been gifted with. Having a special needs child that barely shows any affection, Lindsay was able to get him to a comfort zone and he was doing things for her that he would NEVER do for me and it was amazing! There was a special bond right away with her. She is so relaxed yet a true professional. Lindsay was able to capture moments with my children that I will cherish forever.
With the quick turn-around time and the beauty of her work, I have recommended her and I will DEFINITELY be reserving her again in the near future. I feel so blessed that I have Lindsay in my life now!!
We love you Lindsay!"
- Nicholas, Caitlyn and Heather P
"My experience with Lindsay was beyond anything I could have hoped for. Lindsay was so sweet and easy to work with. My son, Aiden was very comfortable as was I. Our pictures came out amazing. I am so glad that Lindsay was able to capture this very special time in my life. Lindsay is so talented. She has a great eye for great shots. I look forward to working with her again. "
- Michelle G
"We have had professional pictures made before through commercial chains in the past, and have never had pictures as true-to-life, full of character, and professionally done as Lindsay's! The moment she came to our door, the kids were taken by her calm, patient, and warm manner. She gave them time to feel comfortable and open-up...and once they did, Lindsay was there 110% at all the right times and right angles!
Lindsay completely captured the personality and character of our family with perspectives we never expected, and are completely infatuated with. Our pictures were available to us in no time at all, and are absolutely priceless. The quality of her work is incredible. In the middle of winter, she found perfect lighting, color, and contrast for every picture. The reactions from our friends and family were amazed and excited. Everyone wants prints! With enthusiasm, Lindsay will be our family photographer from this point forward, for both the everyday and special events! "
- Monica C
"Not only did we love the pictures that Lindsay took for us, we loved Lindsay. She was fun and creative and she made the whole process a blast. I've already booked her again."

"Our original wedding was set for Fl and was to be a wonderful event at Doug's mother's home overlooking the intercoastal. After a few months of wedding planning and enduring "it's" many ups and downs, we decided that we'd veered to far from what we wanted our marriage to be. We would get back to basics.
Upon making the decision to elope, Doug and I wanted to be true to form and keep things simple. A dress and suit, two amazing friends to witness, dinner at Bentley's, a couple bottles of champagne and thank-goodness, a PHOTOGRAPHER.
Hiring Lindsay was such a last minute thing. We both thought, 'what the heck, nothing to lose, even if we just get a couple good ones-great'. Fast foward to 2/12... in walks the brightest and most beautiful photographer to room 717 of the Ritz, where us girls were getting ready.
Lindsay's energy was infectious. She went above and beyond multiple times. For example, she jumped out of the cab and ran two blocks to be sure to capture Doug's face while I was walking up to the courthouse. Then stood out in the 34 degree weather (cameras were not allowed)while we were inside getting married. Doug and I knew as the next couple of hours passed and we jumped around town shooting photos together (in the snow) that we had something very special. After about 1200 shots, Lindsay and us said our farewells. Then just three days later, while in Mexico, the draft photos and video came across our laptop! We sat and went through a box of kleenex while watching our wedding day that was captured so brilliantly by Lindsay. I think, as do many that have seen these photos, that you can feel our emotions and also feel like you were right there with us which is so very important for all the people that weren't right there with us. Thank you from the bottom of hearts. "
- Doug and Sophie J
"Lindsay has a relaxed and easy-going style. During our session, my boys were very cranky. The baby wanted to nurse, not pose. The two year refused everything. Yet, Lindsay remained playful and focused. Within 24 hours, she had posted our teaser. The pictures were outstanding, especially given the situation."
- Jodi H
"This past Christmas, we had our annual family pictures taken by Lindsay. I really do not even know where to begin, as this photo experience was the best I have ever had. My husband and boys hate to have their pictures taken-Lindsay made it so much fun for us-my boys were able to run and just "be themselves" and we had beautiful pictures as a result. The pictures of my husband and I are just breath-taking-they totally blew away all of our wedding pictures. Lindsay is fun, energetic, and is totally up for any suggestions. My days of photography studios are finished. Her high-quality work, great communication, and quick turn-around sold me for life. When I look at each and every photograph, I can remember our laughs and family memories of when they were taken. Like I said at first, our photo experience with Lindsay was beyond words and I look forward to her capturing our family moments in the future!"
- Jennifer W
"I came across some great pictures on a friends Facebook page and was instantly drawn by the quality of work that was before my eyes. I searched out who the photographer was and made the connection with Lindsay Alexander Photography. Though the weather was not the best on the day of the shoot, Lindsay made the best of it and actually used it to her advantage to take some wonderful pictures. In her short time as a photographer Lindsay Alexander is a true professional in her work and in her joyful attitude which makes taking pictures a great experience. Lindsay intuitively knows how to capture people and moments, even the seemingly insignificant ones. Lindsay has a rare gift for understanding the personalities, emotions, and underlying feelings of people in her picture taking. We will definitely use her again in the future!"
- Mike G
"It was a joy working with Lindsay for our family photos. We had a very large group, 12 people in all! Lindsay was easy to work with and took all the photos we wanted. She came to our location, was willing to shoot outside or in, and even brought some props with her. After seeing the photos, we will never go to a studio again!"
- Wendi M
"After seeing the amazing job that Lindsay did with my sister, I knew right away that I had to have her to do my family photos. Columbia has a beautiful park nestled on the Saluda River. From the first moment we met her, there was an instant connection. Not only does she have a special way to make you feel comfortable taking pictures, she gets children to do the most amazing poses. We will definitely be using her God given talent in the future. Thanks Lindsay for such a memorable day in the life of my family."
- Cara Y
"A good friend recommend Lindsay, and I am so glad I got the recommendation! Lindsay was perfect for taking pictures of my family. The chemistry between Lindsay and my little girl (and family) was awesome, and we are all thrilled with the great pictures she captured. The candid pictures are so wonderful and truly capture the spirit of our personalities. And after I was able to show off all my pictures, I found out several of my dear girl friends already knew Lindsay. Lindsay is a well known name in our group, and I can't wait to have another session!"
- Molly W
"Having Lindsay come to our home a week after Abby was born was such a great experience. I felt very relaxed and comfortable. I never felt rushed. Abby wanted to nurse twice during her shoot and Lindsay just waited patiently. You can tell that Lindsay does it for the joy and her talent is truly a gift of God."
- Moira B
I have always had a love for photography. A way to capture the most precious moments and people in your life with a single frame.
Whether it was with a disposable camera in hand when I was younger or with my trusty professional set now, I love how pictures tell a story and allow you to experience the depths of someones life in photographs.
After my son was born, I decided to leave my "cubical" job in advertising and jump feet first into the photography world while still maintaining my number one job as a stay-at-home mommy.
With an appreciation for the skill and an obsession wth the art, my passion ignited and I was off! I have found another great love and I am so excited for this amazing opportunity.
God truly does give us our hearts desires.
I absolutely love what I do. Being part of the most precious moments in peoples lives. I take my role in those moments very seriously and treasure the opportunities.
So here I am, ready to capture these times for you. I would love to work with you and I look forward to hearing from you soon
Lindsay

Photographs are something that you keep forever. Visual memories that are hard to replace.
I try to make the process of bringing you these great memories as simple as possible. All packages include: my time, talent, and travel plus online proofs of your photo session. In addition, you also receive full copyright release on your images and a CD containing all of your negatives.
Sessions last anywhere from one to two hours at the location or locations of your choice.
Proofs are available within fourteen days of your photo session. For weddings, proofs are available one month from your wedding day. Proofs are enhanced and edited to provide you with the very best from our time together.
For pricing information, please use the contact me form found on the "contact" tab at the bottom of the page. I will return your request within 48 hours.
*I currently only travel within certain regions of North and South Carolina.
What is your style:
Some of the best pictures are those where the person did not even know I had a camera pointed at them. Unscripted, un-staged, just real. While I follow a more photojournalistic approach, I do understand the need for structured photographs for certain events. My goal is to simply capture life, leave you with a good amount of photographs in hand and have you barely notice me in the process.
Do you shoot in a studio:
The outdoors is the best studio on the planet. I prefer to shoot in nature but if your event calls for an indoor shoot, I am more than happy to accommodate.
What should we expect from you as our photographer:
You should expect a fun and positive attitude- quick turnaround- a joyful session experience- thorough, organized, and detailed communication-wonderful images to enjoy for years to come.
My ultimate goal is to provide you with unique images that truly tell a story. For our time together to be tons of fun. If my cheeks hurt from smiling so much at the end of our session, I know I have done my job.
What should we wear:
I am a huge fan of color. It makes your photos pop and adds personality. Try to avoid crazy patterns and lots of black and white. Bring as many outfits as you want. Variety is always a good thing. Hats, scarfs and bare feet are always a great accessory.
What happens in the event of bad weather or illness:
On the day of your shoot we will assess the situation. In the event of weather, overcast skys can be a good thing but heavy rain can be a disaster. Should the weather prohibit me from capturing the best pictures possible, we will reschedule your shoot for a later date. The same goes for illness. If one of us is less than our best for the shoot, we will reschedule for a better day.
Do you charge a travel fee:
Yes, I do. For shoots or weddings outside the surrounding area there is a travel fee.
What is a DVD slideshow:
The slideshow scrolls through 20-30 pictures from your shoot. Set to music, this slideshow is a great keepsake to show friends and family. They make great gifts too!
Do you offer album options:
Yes, I do. I have several album options that you can choose from to fit your needs. Albums are designed in-house and take up to three months to complete.
Do you offer anything special for returning customers:
I sure do. All returning customers receive 15% off the current session fee at the time of booking.
Do you ever run any specials or promotions:
Yes, I do. I always list my current promotions on my blog and e-mail previous customers to keep them in the loop. If you are ever curious about specials and promotions feel free to contact me.
Do you shoot newborns:
Why yes! There is nothing like a new babe. Newborn photos are typically taken in your home within the babies first three weeks. Newborn shoots typically last anywhere from one to three hours, depending on the mood of your baby and the babes schedule. I ask that newborns are fed and changed so that your baby is ready for pictures when I arrive. The more content the baby, the better the pictures- the better the pictures, the happier the mama!
What services do you offer:
Pho"dog"raphy (and all Gods creatures), Children, Family, Events, Newborns, Daycare and Preschool packages, Headshots, Directory, Maternity, Senior portraits, Bridal portraits, Engagement and Wedding Day coverage.
Your photos will be available within fourteen days of your photo session. You will receive an e-mail link to view your photos at that time.
All online proofs are password protected and can be viewed through my secure site.
You can place your online order for your prints at that time. There is typically a two week turnaround on your photos.
