newborn sessions have my wholeeeee heart. especially sweet Ella Faith. Ella was such a good sport and slept in mom and dad’s arms pretty much the whole time (except when dad tickled her feet), and it was so wonderful to see one of my couples extend their family. 🥺 sydney and Isaac, you brought a beautiful gift into the world and you guys are absolute rockstars, it’s so incredible to see your family grow with this beautiful baby girl ✨

i’ve been having imposter syndrome because I’m not a photographer that swaddles babes, or poses babes in different positions, and I’m obsessed with those kind of newborn sessions, but I also just feel something so raw and real about just letting baby be. There’s something so cute about the limbs flailing and baby just being a chance to be a baby, and I know that some babies just do not like the be swaddled, and that’s okay! So while I do newborn sessions, know that I don’t swaddle baby up every time, and while I can still spend hours at your session (we’re in babies world, I’m just doing whatever they want and need), I’m not the type to put baby in swaddle and different positions, and I know SO many wonderful photographers who do that so if that’s what you are looking for, I will happily send you their way. I love the raw and real and things to be so candid 🥺 love love love an in home session but also love love love a good newborn studio session 🥺

ashley + nolan's big day last year was one i was not physically there for, but was in total spirit. living their day back while creating this video was so special, their smiles actually could light up an entire room. their beautiful vows, the colors, the way they show their love for one another. they obbbbviously deserve their full video on my timeline cause months later and i'm still obsessed.

if you want to full size this beautiful video, it will also be going live on my youtube! link on my website.

as this season begins, i have found myself reflecting on the past year, and i’ve got to be raw and vulnerable for a minute because i feel that’s a trait i treasure, is being able to be a real person behind the profile and this business.

2023 brought the greatest highs and the biggest pits I’ve ever experienced in my life. my incredible partner and i got our first house together last year, we got a puppy, and this little business i started 5 years ago was flourishing. and i was so happy, ecstatic, everything i’ve been dreaming of came to be in a short time. but as a girl who hates change, it was an overwhelming year. all of these life changes put me into the deepest pit of depression i have ever been in. i was working my butt off to get videos out, sessions, renovate our home, take care of an accident prone puppy who was tons of work, have a social life, see my family, prioritize my relationship, work another job in my off season, and still take care of myself in the middle of that. i truly didn’t know how to handle all of these life changes in a short amount of time. what i found was i just stopped caring about myself. i stopped sleeping, i stopped eating normally, i was quick to anger and had many breakdowns, all the while still putting everyone and everything before myself until i just couldn’t anymore. it took a gigantic toll on myself and those close to me, and it was a huge mess, to put it mildly.

it’s may of 2024 and i’m infinitely in a better place than i was even 6 months ago. our home is beautiful now, my accident prone puppy is still accident prone but pure lover boy now (and actually listens), i have prioritized myself more so that those around me are getting the best version of me, because to be honest, they weren’t at all. this 2023 post comes late because i was in the trennnchhhhessss in january, but truly, i’m so beyond grateful for the most understanding clients, incredibly supportive family and friends, and proud of myself for being able to crawl (cause trust me, it was a crawl at some points) out of the pits i was in. as the 2024 season comes, i’m more than ready to take it head on, and so grateful for what last year taught me 🥺

i've decided that every friday, i'm going to share the most beautiful films from the 2023 season, since i've got SO many to share.

throwback to the most beautiful summer day, sierra + justin. what. a. day. the most wonderful day, with the most kind, genuine, and funny souls i've ever met, truly one of the best days.

MY BOOKINGS ARE OFFICIALLY OPEN FOR 2025!

I have been silently taking some inquiries as they come (depending on how close they were to my books opening), but now they're officially open and ready to be booked up!

I am only taking on max of 25 weddings, possibly more if there are some in my slower months. This goes for video AND photo for weddings! My new website (coming in the next coming months) will have packages for wedding photo pricing.

My availability for weddings are:

January - April & December
Wide open :)

May
16th, 17th, 23rd, 30th, 31st (inquiry pending)

June
6th, 7th, 13th, 14th, 20th, 21st

July
11th, 12th, 18th, 19th (inquiry pending), 25th, 26th

August
1st, 2nd, 8th, 9th, 15th, 16th, 22nd, 23rd, 29th, 30th

September
5th, 6th, 12th, 13th, 19th, 20th, 27th

October
3rd, 4th, 10th, 11th, 17th, 18th, 24th, 25th, 30th, 31st

November
1st, 7th, 8th, 14th, 15th, 21st, 22nd, 28th, 29th

These dates are all that's open, but those dates will dwindle as some weddings are booked (aka if I have to travel far for a Friday, Saturday will become unavailable, or some dates will become unavailable as the month gets booked). SO book your date ASAP! Remember: a $300 retainer is due at signing of contract, and you must have a retainer paid and signed contract to fully secure your date. Also, I HIGHLY encourage reaching out and asking for a call if you are uncomfortable with just booking on sight, I LOOOVE having conversations to ask questions and getting that one on one contact before booking. This is a humungous decision to make and I don't take that lightly! I'm here to do whatever makes you comfortable, so do not be afraid to put in the inquire note that you'd like to have a chat first! I know how the planning process can be, so we can set that up asap, so you feel more comfortable in booking me :)

Inquire on my website to get the fastest response: https://lindseyleighmedia.com/contact :) Here's my yearly reminder, that I am HORRIBLE at answering Instagram or Facebook DMs. I check them about once a week, sometimes once every 2 weeks. That could mean you inquired first but because I didn't see it, it went to someone else. A lot of DM's get lost in different folders from Instagram and Facebooks vetting system, so I cannot guarantee I'll even see it. You can also email me directly, [email protected], which guarantees a quicker response as well!

As for sessions; my availability is HUGE. Please inquire at the link above to secure a session. I'm LOVING doing more photos and I am taking alllll the sessions I can get. Remember, it's easier to book sooner rather than later for any season, just to make sure I am available! End of summer and fall gets crazy busy, so if you want a spot now, book soon! There's a $50 retainer fee for booking, and a signed contract, and the remaining is due on the date of your session.

I am SO SO SO SO excited for the 2025 season (which is so weird to say since we haven't even touched the 2024 season), and I'm so excited to meet new faces next year! I also cannot wait to show everyone the goodies from the 2023 season. 2023 was so good to me, with the best clients and their most beautiful days.

carissa + andrew… the books i could write about them. i had the honor of taking their engagement photos back in the fall, and have the honor of photographing and filming (with the help of mia) in October, and i am counting down the days. first of all, andrew took time out of the hunting season (as my fellow hunters wives, you get how big this is) to make his woman happy. the way these two just shine with love for one another, it makes my heart physically hurt. carissa and i hit it off right from the bat, and truly, i cannot wait to celebrate their big day with them. from the jump, these two have felt like we have been friends for years, and i’m just overjoyed for them.

not to mention, LOOK HOW BEAUTIFUL THESE TWO ARE!!!!! the sweetest souls who will 100000% be hitting my feed again this fall, and i am so sososososso excited 🥺
