Lindsey Smith Photography bio picture

  • Welcome to the Blog!

    I have always been drawn to children. In fact, in a former (pre-baby) life I was an educator for eight years. Between my teaching background and my own two little ones, I have a great deal of experience in reading the true personality of a child and drawing it out.

    As a photographer, my goal is to get to know your child and or family and then capture their essence in order to provide you with cherished keepsakes to last a lifetime. As a mom, I know what it is like to want to freeze time. Children change and grow so quickly. Let me give you a beautiful memory to view over and over again.

    My original muses are of course the two most precious children in my little world- My son Anderson (5), and my daughter Lydia (3). They, along with my wonderful husband who has been so gracious to be head chef, babysitter and house cleaner-upper have allowed me to make my dream a reality. There are no words to convey how much I love my little family. Perhaps that is why I love photography so much...because a picture is indeed worth a thousand words.

    Make this blog a bookmark and visit me often as I continue to put my recent work up.

Family fun! Tuscaloosa Family Photographer

I had so much fun with this gorgeous family a few weeks ago!! The weather was perfect for a late afternoon shoot! Once we met at the location, I could not get over how much this precious little girl looked like my daughter Lydia at that age! I don’t mean a little – they could be twins! It was so strange!! She even had some of the same mannerisms as my baby girl (who is so not a baby anymore…sniff, sniff…). Anyway I enjoyed photographing their whole family and getting a little nostalgic at the same time about how much my own children have grown

Love this little nose krinkle!! Sweet little Finley was such a girly girl, but just below the surface you could tell she was a little firecracker! Love her!!

We had so much fun taking these sibling shots!! Bless Jack! He was so over it, but he hung in there like a little trooper and put up with all of his little sister’s antics including trying to lick him when he leaned down to kiss her! That face is PRICELESS!

Newborn love! Tuscaloosa Newborn Photographer

There is a baby boom in Tuscaloosa and Northport right now and I am LOVING it! I literally have newborn sessions galore, and it is no secret that those are always my favorite sessions, so I am in heaven!! There is just something about a new baby that makes everyone happy!! I love getting to meet the proud new parents and if I’m lucky I get to meet the grandparents sometimes as well and watch their faces beam with pride when talking about their family’s new addition! I really do have such a wonderful job!!

This precious little guy is one of my new grow-a-year babies! If you don’t know about our grow a year plan you should check it out! It’s a great deal on three sessions within the babies first year and it includes 50 custom card-stock birth announcements just for signing on with our studio for a year! It’s a great value! Sweet little Hunter may possibly be the smiliest newborn I have ever photographed!! He smiled at least 5 times during our session, and at the newborn stage we are really usually lucky to get just one, so I was tickled when he just smiled away as I click, click, clicked! Hunter- you were a pleasure! Thanks for being a superstar newborn for Mrs. Lindsey!

An afternoon on the farm!

Precious Mia is the simply gorgeous daughter of an old friend of mine, and I was so delighted when she called me to do a shoot on their family farm. It is so beautiful out there this time of year. The wildflowers were in full bloom, and of course we had to make some wishes and blow on some Dandelions! These images are so gorgeous, and I know I have said it a million times but it is so wonderful to be able to shoot in a place that has meaning to the family that I am shooting. This particular family has a lovely history with this land, and I know that the photos taken here will mean so much to them over the years! I love the ones of mommy and daughter together the most. There is nothing sweeter than mommy/daughter snuggle time! Enjoy!

That first image is gorgeous. And the lighting throughout is simply stunning. What a perfect backdrop. Well done.
And that little peanut is adorable!

Brown eyed girl…

Whew…it has been a while since my last post! Life has been crazy busy in my personal life as our little family of four moved into a new house a couple of weeks. It was quite an undertaking to move in the middle of an already fully booked portrait season, but we did it and have survived it! Now I am finally starting to get caught up on proofing, ordering and blogging! Yay!

This little angel is so precious! Her big brown eyes are just breath-taking. Thanks so much for such a fun session Maddie!

Sweet Baby Jake!

I really enjoyed the opportunity to get out of the studio for this newborn session. I love doing studio newborn sessions, but it is nice once in a while to actually photograph the baby in their own home.

The first time I met this sweet Mommy and Daddy, I actually was on location shooting a session and literally stumbled upon them right after Ben proposed! Fast forward a couple of years and then my family began visiting the church they attended and have since joined and gotten to know them even better. I was so honored when Ben and Kelly chose me to photograph their precious little guy! We had a great session and ended up with some of what are now my all time favorite newborn images.

These images really tell the story of that bond that only a Mommy and her son can have.  I still remember when my own little boy was this size and I thought he would stay little forever! Ha! Little did I know how quickly the days and years would pass! I know Kelly will forever cherish these images of Jake when he was brand new to the world! Enjoy the sweetness…
