About Me
My love for photography started with my own childhood, wanting to look back on special moments with special people. Not having a lot of my own childhood photos transformed into me wanting to capture all of these moments for my own kids, friends and their families. You know the saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" but could you write your life story if it were just a picture book?
When I'm not taking photos, I can be found spending time with my husband and our two young daughters, binge watching the latest Netflix hit, or going to a Pilates class. I also enjoy hosting parties and events that bring people together, where my creative side can run wild with decorations, table settings, floral arrangements, etc.

"Lindsay was wonderful to work with. We wanted a family photoshoot of the three of us before becoming a family of four, and she made that vision come to life. She suggested beautiful location options and provided excellent direction throughout the session. We have a 20 month old, and Lindsay handled her effortlessly, making the photoshoot fun, stress-free, and efficient. Lindsay is the BEST!!!!"

"Lindsay gave my fiance and I the engagement session of our DREAMS. It's always been my dream to do an engagement shoot at SF City Hall and Lindsay made the whole experience so enjoyable and easy! I have a weird work schedule and Lindsay was SO kind, flexible, and thorough during our planning. She also came super early to scout the location, came prepared with poses and our inspiration board, and went above and beyond to get the best angles. We had so much fun working with her and absolutely ADORE our photos"

"I can’t recommend Lindsay enough. She is incredibly talented and makes every session feel easy and fun. Her eye for detail and ability to capture genuine, beautiful moments is unmatched. The photos are always stunning, timeless, and full of emotion. She even got our toddler to enjoy himself during the photoshoot! She is professional, reliable, and truly passionate about her work. I trust her to capture my family’s most precious moments and wouldn’t choose anyone else."

"Lindsay recently took our family photos and we were so happy with them! The session was fun and my young boys had a blast with her, which helped capture their natural smiles (trust me, this is hard). She was quick with her editing and even did a couple edits after she sent the gallery to help cover up our dog’s recent surgery. She captured so many great pictures in the quick 20 minutes we were with her that I had to purchase the whole gallery— I truly could not narrow down my favorites!"

My family pictures came out beautiful--I loved that she directed us during the shoot, and had a special way of interacting with my kids as they are full of energy.

"Pure magic: from start to finish. She captured a beautiful milestone for our family, made us all feel comfortable, & gave the best suggestions. She supported us with
finding a location, styling guide, & even posing suggestions. During the photoshoot she engaged with my children (school age & toddler) so well & made them laugh & smile. They quickly responded to her warm welcoming smile & positive energy. As a parent, this was the smoothest photoshoot we had with our kiddos. What a wonderful & fun experience."

"Lindsay Amaral Photography was such a wonderful experience! My husband and I weren’t sure if we wanted maternity photos since we’re not usually comfortable in front of the camera, but Lindsay made the whole process fun and effortless. She worked with us on a vision and brought it to life perfectly. We’re absolutely in love with our photos and couldn’t recommend her more!"

"I reached out to Lindsay for an extended family photoshoot and boy, she did not disappoint! From the moment I reached out, she was quick to respond. We discussed possible locations and Lindsay was able to accommodate all of my requests. She was super friendly and so lovely to work with. I felt she truly cared about the quality of pictures we wanted to get and made sure that I was satisfied with what we took. Her number one priority was to deliver what we asked for and it showed..."

"We had such a wonderful experience with Lindsay. From start to finish, she made the entire process so easy and enjoyable. She even got creative when our almost 2-year-old refused to participate. What stood out most was the way Lindsay captured the individual personalities of both of my kids. Every photo feels genuine to who they are. These are memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime.
Highly recommend Lindsay to anyone looking for a family photographer."
