Explore the Portrait Sessions We Can Create Across NYC

As a lifelong creator, turned NYC Lifestyle Photographer, I am passionate about telling stories through imagery and objects. 

It brings me joy to document the real connections people share with their families. I love looking back at photographs of those in-between moments—when everything was just beginning to shift. Whether it’s a silly expression that brings you right back to the laughter in your first home, or a quiet morning memory with someone you love, photographs hold so much. My work blends portrait photography with a natural, documentary style—capturing honest moments in NYC homes, parks, and neighborhoods. These sessions are about presence, not posing. They're about creating space to see your story clearly, just as it is.

I'm Lindsay—an artist, lover of vintage items, and mother to two (sometimes) wild kids!

This phrase guides everything I do—whether I’m photographing families in Brooklyn, capturing couples in Long Island, or documenting newborn stories in Manhattan. Fabled Light is more than a name; it’s an ethos for honest, emotion-led storytelling.

What “Fabled Light” Means — and How It Shapes My Approach to NYC Photography

Light (n.)
  • The celebration of the human experience as a blend of magic and chaos, embracing one’s unique narrative with honesty and depth.

  • Renowned in story or legend; celebrated, immortalized in a narrative.

  • The natural agent that makes things visible, illuminating both the seen and the unseen.

my approach & ethos

DEFINITIONS:

On a whim, we reached out about availability and she was able to meet us for a session that week. She was so easy to work with and made us feel at ease immediately. Her style is all about capturing natural moments, and every shot felt like it was authentic to us. We will cherish these photos of our little one forever!

We are so glad that we chose to work with Lindsay to capture photos of our little family. 

-B.P., Queens, New York

She's warm, professional, and has an incredible eye for capturing natural, beautiful moments. Highly recommend!

I'm usually super awkward in front of the camera, but Lindsay made me feel completely comfortable--and we actually had fun! I don't usually like photos of myself, but I absolutely love the portraits she took of me. She's warm, professional, and has an incredible eye for capturing natural, beautiful moments. Highly recommend!

-M.B., Long Island City, New. York City

I surprised my family for Mother's Day with a session with Lindsay to commemorate our time over the past few years living in NYC area. She made everyone so comfortable, and provided great resources ahead of the session. She had such a unique view different than anything I had seen in family style shoots, while maintaining a natural and candid feel. thank you!

Highly recommend Lindsay for your family sessions! 

-O.G., New Jersey

She met with us to discuss exactly what we wanted, helped us find the perfect outfits that looked good on camera but still felt like us, and scouted out the most beautiful locations to capture gorgeous light and shadows. Our session didn’t feel posed or forced - the best pictures came from her quietly capturing a family hug or another candid moment. She immediately made my daughter feel comfortable in front of the camera. I’m so thrilled with the pictures - they look like works of art and have a timeless quality we haven’t gotten from other family photo sessions. She also delivered both hi res for printing and lower resolution version for sharing online. I definitely plan to use her again.

Lindsay at Fabled Light was the perfect person to work with for our family photos from start to finish. 

-D.Z., NYC

Let me preface this review with the fact that I am wholly uncomfortable in front of the camera and am generally just super camera shy. 

"I reached out to Lindsay because I needed new photos to help with branding for my business, and this was hands down the best experience with a photographer I've ever had. She was professional and so easy to work with, and her recommendations on outfits were perfectly on point, giving exactly the vibe I was going for. The locations she picked out for me could not have been better suited for the image I wanted to present to my prospective clients. To top it all off, the turnaround on the final pictures was also unbelievable. I'm so grateful for the shoot as Lindsay made me look so good that I'm actually thrilled to share my photos!"

-E.C., Manhattan

She brought out the best in all of us across 3 generations and captured the warmth of my husband’s childhood home and the beauty of the city. She’s truly talented and so easy to work with. She made helpful suggestions about poses and lighting but everything felt very natural and easy (super important with antsy kids). Would recommend her to anyone.

I’m obsessed with the photos Lindsay took of our family

-L.M., Washington, D.C.

Let’s Create Space for Your Real Moments—From NYC to Connecticut and Beyond

As a parent, I know how unpredictable life (and kids) can be. That’s why my sessions are flexible, unhurried, and built to follow your family’s rhythm. Whether the sun shifts, the park gets crowded, or your toddler wants to chase pigeons—I welcome it. The best moments often happen when things don’t go as planned. You don’t need to perform. Just show up as you are. I’ll take care of the rest.
