Meet Your Photographer

Nice to meet you- I’m Lynds... At least that’s what my friends call me- and I’d love to be yours too.

I’ve been capturing moments and connection since 2012, and I absolutely love what I do. I have had opportunities through my experiences in photography that I never would’ve had otherwise. I consider myself truly blessed to enjoy my passion as my career

When I’m not wearing my equipment like a second skin, you can find me playing with my adorable daughters, hiking, rock climbing, at a karaoke bar, hanging with my cute boyfriend, or making a gorgeous charcuterie board. I’m an artist at heart, and my second love is writing. In another life I would’ve loved to have been a counselor or a motivational speaker.

I get asked a lot if my name is Melrose- so let me explain. Melrose Photography gets its namesake from my oldest daughter, Melody Rose. I’m not in Melrose, California, though I do have a cool story about that if you ever want to ask!

I believe that the best images are captured when everyone is able to enjoy the experience. I am all about stress-free sessions, minimalism and a focus on connection between individuals. I love a gorgeous location as much as anyone- but I care more about capturing YOU.

“This Is The Photographer I’ve Been Looking For! We had both family & business professional shots done by Lyndsey this evening and we are still smiling. She truly brings out the comfortable and authentic in all of us! ”
