Lindsay Herkert is an on location, natural light photographer who specializes in Birth and Newborn, Children, Maternity, and Family photography. "Photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place. It has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with how you see them." - Elliot Erwitt There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t take a photograph. The camera is basically an extension of myself. To say that I am passionate about it is an understatement. When my first son was born in 2009, my love affair with photography began. I started teaching myself the art of digital photography and felt confident in my knowledge and ability to launch my business in 2013. I love the way photography has taught me to see the world differently. Even when I am not taking photos with my camera, I am taking them in my mind; looking for and analyzing light, framing subjects, seeing beauty in the ordinary moments. I am moved most by light and you'll notice that it plays a big part in my photography; whether I'm using backlight to soften a tender moment, sidelight to add drama, or direct light to flatter a portrait - any way you cut it, light is my jam. My goal is to create images that are not only beautifully light-inspired, but that also preserve a moment in time. From an infant’s first reaches to a toddler’s unsteady steps to a child’s joyful leaps, I strive to capture the joy that accompanies these special moments. My style is the juxtaposition of vintage and modern, serious and silly, classic but non-traditional. I adore creating whimsical pieces of art for your home, but I also delight in capturing moments that are real. Some of the best photographs come from the most unexpected moments….and I want to be there to capture them all for you. I am proud to say that I have been accepted into the following professional affiliations: Click Pro at Click & Co, Offset Artist, and A Little Rae of Hope. I have also received 3 Expertise Awards, and am published in Dear Photographer magazine.
