self portrait by Lindsay June Photography
Hi there! I'm Lindsay!
I’m a lifestyle portrait photographer based in Edmonton, AB, Canada. I specialize in maternity, newborn and family portraits. My approach to family portrait sessions is based in lifestyle photography which means I love showcasing families simply and beautifully. I aim to capture authentic moments and candid joy. In all my sessions, I use natural light and natural poses to create classic, bright, timeless images meant to be cherished for a lifetime.
MY FAVOURITE THINGS:
I love the mountains! My husband and I were engaged and married in Alberta's Rocky mountains so they hold an extra special place in my heart. I am a mama to the sweetest kiddos. Their laughter just lights up my whole life. I'm so obsessed with them. I could kiss their adorable cheeks all day! We also have two doodle puppies. They are snuggly, hilarious and full of personality! Family means the world to me and my babies are the reason I began pursuing my passion for photography.
Fun Facts about me:
- I love chocolate! I eat a little bit every day. I've been known to make a special trip to the store just to get chocolate if I don't have any at home.
- My favourite colour is purple! It has been since I was a kid. Back then I was more into dark, royal purple and now I love a softer, lavender purple.
- I drink herbal tea instead of coffee because caffeine gives me migraines. My go-to is Tim Horton's peppermint tea with honey.
- My office is decorated with illustrations of women created by women. I love a good Etsy find with a feminist vibe!
- I love mac and cheese! I'm always craving pasta and if I notice mac and cheese on a restaurant menu, I have to order it.
MY PHOTOGRAPHY JOURNEY...
I graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Education degree. My journey into photography began when I was a university student. I bought my first amateur camera as a graduation present for myself and it mostly collected dust as I pursued my teaching career.
When I was pregnant with my first baby, my passion was reignited and I became motivated to learn how to use my camera. I took a course at Grant MacEwan University, invested time and energy in online photography training and practiced my skills. For Christmas, my wonderful husband gifted me a brand new professional camera and my passion gradually transformed from a hobby into a business.
I have always loved taking photos! I believe that photos are such a special way to capture memories and showcase the beauty of the simple moments in life. I can't wait to capture memorable moments for you and your family!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is lifestyle photography?
Lifestyle photography aims to capture genuine moments of connection between you and your loved ones. I give prompts in order to capture authentic laughs and joy. I also suggest natural poses to get lovely family portraits that are meant to be cherished for a lifetime.
How do I book?
Please fill out an inquiry form on my contact page and I will get back to you within a few business days. I will work with you to help you choose a package or collection that works best for photographing your story. We will chat over the phone or email to make sure we are a good match to meet your photography needs! Once we've got the logistics sorted, a contract will be offered. A booking is officially made once a non-refundable retainer is paid via e-transfer and a contract has been signed.
What should I wear to a session?
I love the timeless look of soft neutrals and pastels. It's best to avoid clashing patterns or bold, bright colours. I would suggest dressing in complimentary but not matching colours. For instance, if mama wears a soft floral dress then put kids in coordinating neutrals (ex. tan, beige, white) or pastels (ex. blush pink, mint green, lavender purple or powder blue). Once you're booked in, we can work together to choose your wardrobe for the session.
Do you offer a client closet?
I am currently working on curating a client closet. I have a few limited pieces available for mom and baby. Please inquire when you book your next session. Note that the client closet is not available for mini sessions.
After our session, when will we get our photos?
Your final, edited high-resolution photos will be sent via an online gallery within approximately three weeks of your session time.
Can I choose my own date and location for a mini session?
Mini sessions are not offered as stand-alone sessions. They are brief back-to-back sessions offered seasonally a few times per year. I choose specific dates and locations and you choose a time slot based on the times offered. Sign up to my email list for early access to mini sessions!
If you would like a maternity or family session on a date and location of your choosing consider booking a family session.
How do we choose a date for a newborn session?
We'll work together to select a tentative date for your newborn session based on your due date. You will then contact me after baby's arrival and we will choose an exact date and time. Rest assured that I only book a limited number of newborn sessions per month to ensure I'm available for you and your family!
Where is your studio located?
I have a few options for studio rentals in the Edmonton area that are all beautiful and unique! We can discuss your studio options when you book your session.
