your portraits focus on

Illuminating the Childhood Experience.

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.

“Linnea. beautifully captured our children from birth to the big milestones in their early years. our girls love her and look 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 + 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 children and personal preferences.” — MICHELLE C.

"The children delight in participating in loading up Linnea’s camera with film—now that seems like 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 a truly unique experience, with the lasting image that you will treasure for a lifetime.” — STEPHANIE W.
