People often ask my clients, "How did your photographer get the kids to do that?"
The truth is, I don’t "do" anything. I listen, and I allow them to lead the direction of the shoot. My goal is to capture their authentic experience of their childhood…not to impose adult fantasies of what childhood “should be” onto them.
As a result, parents have deeply emotional responses to their child’s portraits. What’s revealed is just see a likeness of their child...but something deeper.
"FOUR GENERATIONS OF OUR FAMILY HAVE KNOWN AND WORKED WITH LINNEA. SHE IS ABLE TO ESTABLISH GREAT RAPPORT EASILY AND QUICKLY WITH ALL AGES. SHE MANAGES TO BRING OUT INDIVIDUAL PERSONALITIES WHILE CREATING A WELL COMPOSED GROUP PORTRAIT."

"LINNEA BEAUTIFULLY CAPTURED THE ESSENCE OF OUR CHILDREN FROM BIRTH TO THE BIG MILESTONES IN THEIR EARLY YEARS. OUR GIRLS LOVE HER AND LOOKED FORWARD TO HER VISITS. (THEY EVEN NAMED ONE OF THEIR TOYS AFTER HER). WE LOOK FORWARD TO LINNEA CONTINUING TO PHOTOGRAPH OUR GIRLS AS THEY GROW."
– katie and john e.
"LINNEA HAS CAPTURED OUR FAMILY IN A BEAUTIFUL AND SPECIAL WAY. HER PHOTOGRAPHS SOMEHOW BOTH CAPTURE THE ESSENCE OF THE CHILDREN AND THE SETTING, BUT THEN ALSO TRANSFORM THEM INTO ART. I HAVE BEEN PLEASANTLY SURPRISED, TOO, BY HOW THE PHOTOGRAPHS RESONATE WITH AND APPEAL TO OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY, DESPITE DIFFERENCES IN AGE, GEOGRAPHY, RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE CHILDREN, AND PERSONAL PREFERENCES."

""THE CHILDREN DELIGHT IN PARTICIPATING IN LOADING UP HER CAMERA WITH FILM - NOW THIS SEEMS A RELIC OF THE PAST. BUT ONE THAT SHOULD NOT BE FORGOTTEN. HER SKILL AS A PHOTOGRAPHER, AS A LISTENER AND DOCUMENTER OF LIVES IS TRULY UNIQUE EXPERIENCE, WITH THE LASTING IMAGE THAT YOU WILL TREASURE FOR A LIFETIME."
