sorority Photographer
charlottesville, virginia
one last wahoowa before you go.
For the friendships, traditions, late nights, Bodo's runs, and people who made your Charlottesville feel like home.
Your senior photos should feel like more than checking something off your graduation bucket list.
Let's celebrate the last four years exactly how they deserve to be remembered.
Hi Friends!
A MOM. A WIFE. a PHOTOGRAPHER + YOUR BIGGEST HYPE GIRL.
Welcome! I'm Lyn, a Charlottesville college senior and sorority photographer who lives for the moments that make Grounds feel like home.
The Rotunda photo you'll want in 20 years. The champagne pop with your roommates. The Bid Day squeal.
My goal is simple: make it fun, make it feel like you, and give you photographs you'll love for years to come.
You only graduate from UVA once...
The Rotunda. The Lawn. Champagne pops with your roommates. Laughing so hard your cheeks hurt. One last walk around the place that's been home for the last four years.
Whether you're celebrating solo, with your sorority sisters, or with the friend group that somehow became family, this isn't just another photoshoot.
It's your chance to remember what this chapter actually felt like.
Because years from now, you won't just want the cap-and-gown photo.
You'll want to remember the people standing next to you.

Lyn was such an incredibly great photographer! She made each session so fun, getting us comfortable in front of the camera and suggesting the cutest poses. She took her time during the sessions and was super quick with editing. Highly recommend!

Lyn was so kind and helpful throughout the entire experience, and she made sure our graduation photos captured everything we hoped for. She was flexible with scheduling, allowed us to add an extra friend later in the process, and rescheduled our shoot with ease when bad weather was forecasted. She also got our gallery super quickly! On top of all this, she kindly extended our digital gallery access when we got too busy with finals and graduation.

Lyn was truly the best photographer I could have asked for to capture my UVA graduation! Not only did she take studding photos, but she made the entire experience feel natural, exciting, and celebratory. She was my own personal hype-woman throughout the shoot, boosting my confidence and making sure every shot reflected joy of this milestone. Her guidance on poses was spot on- she knew exactly how to help me look and feel my best.

I recently finished graduate school and wanted to commemorate the occasion with photos that I could remember for a lifetime. I have no words! Lyn was the best photographer I have ever had the pleasure of working with. From start to finish, Lyn was so kind and wanted me to have the best experience. She was also amazing at getting photos turned around less than two days. I couldn't be more grateful for her and her work. Thank you so much!
