Testimonials

"I just wanted to let you know that I'm in Atlanta and have hung the photos you took of Jackson and Macie in the kitchen so I can look at them all the time. Our home is a 1929 remodeled to period, so the pictures look absolutely amazing. I literally become emotional each time I look at them, and my mom said the same. You captured the spirit of my babies, and I really appreciate that! Thanks again, Linnea!"

"Linnea has been our family photographer every year for the past four years. She takes a personal interest in all our family members, and it's apparent when we see the photos. Linnea has a calming way about her which allows her to capture beautifully natural expressions. She has a talented eye and heart."

-- Molly Mattson Stephan

"Our family has worked with Linnea for the past four years. I love to see how each child's personality comes across in their expressions and actions. Each photograph is unique and individual; the portraits are tailored to that particular child. I can see who they are at the exact moment of the shutter's release and also a glimpse of who they will become."

-- Emily James

"Working with Linnea was a wonderful experience. She was accommodating, attentive and a talented photographer. As she interacted with each of us she was able to evoke a smile, a smirk, a sigh or much laughter. Her photographs captured our family story and that is what I was looking for."

-- Corrina Halstead

"I love Linnea's photography style. Her photos are classic, timeless. I have worked with photographers who want to pose children, make them sit still and get that perfect full-teeth-smile shot. It's an exercise in frustration for everyone involved and the result is often a stiff, un-natural portrait. Linnea's style is much more fluid. She follows a child as he/she goes about their normal day, capturing their true personalities. My children are shy and hate to have their photo taken. But they warmed up to Linnea's calm presence almost as soon as she entered the room. Linnea has taken several photos for us that I will cherish all my life. They are sweet moments in time that I am so grateful to have caught on film. I highly recommend Linnea in all aspects."

-- Jenny Campbell

"Linnea's nurturing personality and professional expertise are one-of-a kind! She put me at ease at our first meeting with her easy-going interactions and ability to "read" my kids. Her portraits captured my kids doing regular things but the results were extraordinary! The growing-up years go so fast, thanks Linnea for doing an excellent job at helping me with my memory keeping. I love my portraits and I think Linnea has a very unique personal connection with her clients. She is a gem!"

-- Jeannie Hermann

"Not only is Linnea a gifted photographer, she is very natural and comfortable around children. My son enjoyed a very fun and relaxed photo session with her and it shows in the fabulous photographs that I now have of him. They absolutely reflect my son's personality and I'll treasure them forever!"

-- Claire Connell

"Linnea is truly talented—as a photographer, a keen observer and friend to children. This combination shows in the candid moments she is able to capture on film that represent the true spirit of your child."

-- Robin Joannides Lanahan

"Working with Linnea is a joyful experience. She puts children at ease and allows them to be themselves in their own space. When she photographed my daughter, she captured the most precious, spontaneous pictures of her just being her two year old self in her own environment. It was a stress-free experience, unlike so many studio shootings where children, and often parents, wind up in tears. I look forward to our next experience and capturing our children just being themselves."

-- Carole Johnson

"Linnea, they are great! You really are amazing—great portraits and such nice service. Just looking forward to the next time we work together."

--Emily Karr

"Linnea came to my home and played with my daughter. Through play she was able to photograph Annika in her most natural state…giggling, smiling and dancing. I couldn't be happier with the pictures she took."

--Andrea Lampert

"Linnea has made serene, short work of taking my family's pre-holiday group photos for the past two years. This is no simple task, because the group consists of two adults, four squirmy children, and four agitated pets (dog, cats, guinea pig). She catches the endearing moments that occur in such a situation, resulting in some delightful pictures. In fact, the large number of fine, crystal-clear, candid, black & white shots resulting from those sessions amazed me. She has a professional, friendly demeanor, is punctual, patient, and organized, and is always a pleasure to interact with. I plan to continue our tradition of Christmas photos by Linnea for many years to come."
