my approach to event storytelling

a day in my life photographing the Telluride Bluegrass Festival
I've documented multi-day festivals, retreats, and community gatherings, creating imagery that organizers use to share, grow, and sustain their events over time. My approach to photographing events is alchemizing life into art and art back into life...now what exactly does that mean?
I am someone who sees the beauty in the mundane, to the point of being moved to tears. This was something I used to feel shame about, but once I removed that blockage I realized just how much it was limiting my ability to fully express my creativity.
I don't just document what an event looks like—I capture what it feels like to be there.
Because I’am deeply embedded in music, yoga, and wellness communities myself, I know when the meaningful moments are about to happen. The quiet ones. The connective ones. The ones that make people want to return time and time again.
"“Lindsey has an extraordinary ability to capture not just what an event looks like, but what it feels like to be there.
Her images have become an essential part of how we share and grow our events.”"

why people
hire me to visually storytell for them
I create emotionally compelling marketing imagery that calls people in and bring people back
Oftentimes, the events that I capture are recurring. My clients hire me to freeze emotional moments to be used to market that event for the next time around. Visuals that elicit a longing for belonging become the beginning of the heartbeat of the next event — the quiet proof that something meaningful happened here.
present in the experience, not just an observer
I care about the communities I photograph because I'm part of them. As someone who practices yoga and spends time in music and wellness spaces myself, I understand the rhythm, vulnerability, and joy that unfold there. That familiarity allows me to capture moments from within the experience rather than from the sidelines.
capture authentic moments without disrupting the experience
I move through your event with intention and awareness, allowing moments to unfold naturally without interruption or staging. This creates space for people to remain fully present in their experience, resulting in imagery that feels honest, unforced, and true to the spirit of the gathering. I'm able to preserve the integrity of what's happening while ensuring the moments that matter most are not lost.
my work creates a cohesive visual identity
My work creates a visual language that reflects the emotional essence of your event. These images move beyond individual moments to form a cohesive narrative—one that can be used across your website, social media, and press to communicate the depth, intention, and identity of your gathering.
your event continues to live and breathe beyond its final day
The images created become a lasting reflection of what was experienced, allowing your community to reconnect with the feeling long after the event ends. They help carry the emotional momentum forward—inviting past attendees to return and new ones to recognize themselves within it.
All of this allows you to remain fully present in your role, knowing the story of your event is being preserved by me with care.
After the event ends, what remains are the moments that defined it—the energy, the connection, the feeling of having been there.
You'll receive a curated gallery of images that preserve not only what happened, but what it felt like to be part of it.
Here are some examples of what can be included in working with me:
Full event coverage or multi-day documentation
Curated high-resolution gallery
Images optimized for social media and marketing
Sponsor and vendor documentation
Artist/facilitator coverage
Lifestyle, candid, and environmental storytelling
Fast turnaround preview gallery within 24–48 hours (optional premium add-on)
event storytelling

I take on a limited number of festivals, retreats, and other events each season to ensure each gathering is documented with care and presence.
Coverage and investment are tailored to the unique scope, duration, and needs of each event.
