Behind the Lens
I’m so glad you’re here. Hi, I’m Lynsey! I’m a native of the Asheville area, a wife of 14 years, and a mother to two children, Oxford and Honor. Our home is full of life with chickens, a dog, and cows too. In early 2020, I stepped away from the corporate world to become a stay-at-home mom, and that season of life opened the door to a new passion and purpose.
I started pursuing my passion for photography during the shutdown, after finding myself needing to capture my own daughter’s newborn session. That experience pushed me to take the leap and ask myself, “Why not?” Creativity and design have always been a part of who I am, and I quickly realized I was never meant to be confined to four walls. Photography became more than just a passion. It became a way to create, connect, and preserve meaningful moments for others.
