Lindsey Johnson Photography Chasing sunrises, sunsets & the moments between the poses ☀️ 📸🫶 Hi, I’m Lindsey, the photographer behind LJ’s Lifestyle Photography.

My love for photography started when I was young, but it truly reignited a few years ago when my son began playing baseball. Watching someone freeze the energy and emotion of the game through their lens inspired me to pick up a camera again — and I haven’t put it down since. What began on the ballfield has grown into a passion for capturing all of life’s moments — the excitement of sports, the beauty of family connections, and the love stories that make life meaningful. I focus on real, emotional, and beautifully imperfect moments — whether it’s a home run, a senior milestone, or the quiet in-between.

To be 18 again… young, in love, wild, and free.

There’s just something about that kind of love. The kind before life gets complicated. 📷♥️

“I LOVE your work!” 🤍📸

I hear this ALL the time... until I send my pricing.

And I’ll admit, sometimes that hurts.

So let’s talk about the part of photography you DON’T see.

📸 Camera body: $3,000
⚾ Sports lens: $3,500
📸 Prime lens: $2,000

That’s $8,500 in just THREE pieces of equipment. 😳 And that doesn’t include everything else in my camera bag!

Then there’s monthly editing software, my CRM, website, gallery hosting, insurance, storage and all the other costs of running a business.

And the biggest one? TIME.

That 30 minute session you book is HOURS of work for me. Talking, planning, traveling, shooting, culling hundreds of images and EDITING. When I break it all down, some sessions leave me making around $10 an hour.

My prices have gradually increased over the years, but they’re still on the lower end of where they realistically should be.

I’ve also done several free sessions to build my portfolio. Those clients loved their photos, but not one has ever come back to book once pricing was involved.

And that taught me something...

**Loving someone’s work and VALUING their work are two different things.**

I completely understand that professional photography isn’t in everyone’s budget. There’s a photographer for every budget, and that’s okay!

But photography is also one of those things where you often get what you pay for.

I don’t want you to choose me because I’m the cheapest. I want you to choose me because you LOVE my work and trust me to create something worth investing in.

Because the biggest compliment you can give me isn’t “I love your work.”

**It’s “I want YOU to take my photos.”** 📸

And to every person who has booked me, referred me or continues to come back... THANK YOU. You’re supporting something I love and helping this mama pay for three boys and all those extracurriculars.

Still not over this surprise. 🥹💍

He found me all the way from Savannah, Georgia and planned everything ahead of time to make sure she had NO idea what was coming. And her reaction made it all worth it.

Getting to capture moments like this is exactly why I love what I do. The nerves, the surprise, the happy tears and the beginning of a whole new chapter.

So honored he trusted me with such a BIG moment. 🥹📸

🍂 A LITTLE PHOTO TIP 📸

WHAT TO WEAR FOR FALL PHOTOS

Fall already gives us SO much color, so your outfits don’t have to compete with it!

🤎 COLORS I LOVE
Cream • Camel • Tan • Chocolate Brown
Olive • Rust • Burgundy • Muted Mustard
Dusty Blue • Denim

Think warm, earthy and muted. Instead of matching, choose 3 to 4 colors that coordinate!

🚫 COLORS TO SKIP
Neons or super bright colors
Too much solid black
Bright red
Too many bold patterns

My biggest tip? Start with Mom’s outfit! Pick something YOU feel beautiful and comfortable in, then build everyone else around you.

Your photos should still feel like YOU. These are just little tips to help everything photograph beautifully together!

What an amazing night. 🤍🥂

Fall ball is officially in full swing! 🏈⚾️

Between flag football and baseball, these fall weekends have been every bit as busy as our spring ones, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. 📸

Here are a few of my favorites from the past few weekends. There’s just something about capturing these kids doing what they love.
