I BELIEVE the BEST photos HAPPEN when you're ACTUALLY having fun.

Whether you're celebrating graduation with the friends who got you through the last four years or I'm photographing your sorority's biggest event of the semester, I want your gallery to feel like more than a collection of pretty photos.

I want it to feel your college years.

Hi there! I’m Lyn—a Charlottesville-based college senior & sorority photographer

Your photographer, Hype girl & unofficial third wheel on grounds.

In 2020, I picked up my first camera and basically became obsessed. In 2021, I photographed my first wedding, and for years, weddings became a huge part of my story.

But somewhere along the way, I started photographing more college seniors at UVA, and something just clicked.

I love the energy, the friendships, the champagne flying everywhere, and the chaos of getting entire friend group to look at me at the same time. I loved hearing the stories behind their favorite spots on Grounds and documenting friendships that had grown through four years of college life.

As my own life changed, so did the stories I felt most drawn to photograph. Today, I'm a wife, a mom, a furmom, and a full-time photographer - and I'm more aware than ever of how quickly a season of life can become a memory.

Because one day, the Rotunda won't be somewhere you walk past every week. Your roommates won't live down the hall. And getting your entire friend group together won't be as simple as dropping "Bodo's?" in the group chat/

These really are the good old days. And I want you to have the photographs to remember it.

i'll probably be more excited about your photos than you are.

Sneak peeks are one of my favorite parts of what I do. There's something about seeing a photo and immediately knowing, "Yep. That's going in the group chat."

a few things you should know

Seriously. Most people are. You don't have to show up knowing how to pose - I'll guide you through all of it.

Awkward in front of the camera? Perfect.

a few things you should know

Bring the roommates. Bring the sorority sisters. Bring the people who made these four years what they were. The more personality, inside jokes, and uncontrollable laughing, the better.

Friend groups are my favorite kind of chaos.

The gallery matters. But so does how you felt making it. I want your session to become one of those random senior-year memories you still talk about later.

i'm here for the experience, not just the photos.

Rotunda? Lawn? Your sorority house? A spot that's meaningful to your friend group? We'll build your session around the places that actually feel like your UVA story.

and yes, I know my way around grounds.

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!
