my story

about me, Lindsay Jenks

NATURAL LIGHT PHOTOGRAPHER

Hi, I’m Lindsay Jenks and am a portrait photographer in Phoenix, Arizona! I have always been the one with the camera; the one who takes pictures of everything and documents each moment. I remember as early as 6th grade, I was bringing a camera to school and taking pictures of my friends at recess. Photos allow us to hold on to memories and remember those special moments.

When my daughter was born in 2008, I got my first “real” camera and I haven’t stopped clicking. I wanted to document every one of her milestones and I didn’t want to miss a thing. I was the typical mom with the camera (and I still am, just a little better :)). After a couple of years and thousands of pictures later, my friends began asking me to take their family Christmas photos, Sweet Sixteen photos, engagement photos…then more requests followed with pregnancy announcements, birthdays, soccer teams, business headshots, best friend photos, pets…I think you see the pattern.

After much encouragement and support, I officially launched Lindsay Jenks Photography in Fall 2018 and my business has been a complete whirlwind of excitement and growth. Word of mouth and repeat clients have been an incredible source of business and also the most amazing compliment of my work. In addition to my personal business, I am also the featured photographer for STROLL magazine in the Sky Crossing neighborhood and I was also the official photographer for Scottsdale City Lifestyle Magazine for 2.5 years. I feel so fortunate to call this my “work” as I am truly doing my dream job!

I am a natural light photographer so I pay extremely close attention to the sunlight during my sessions. Capturing that golden glow and placing you in the most perfect lighting is one of my specialties! I like to describe my photography style as bright, warm, colorful and HAPPY, so if that’s what you’re looking for then you’re in the right place! 🙂

favorite other things

when i'm not taking pics

Staying fit and exercising regularly is important to me. CrossFit is my jam...3 years in and I'm hooked! I'm consistently pushing myself to be better and I love spending my mornings with my favorite workout crew!
Cooking is a big part of staying healthy and I love to cook for my family (when I have time)! Lasagna and my signature salad are two of my favorites!
I love to travel and explore new places. Peru, Barcelona, Grand Cayman, Puerto Vallarta and Santorini (The Flying Dress Photography was a highlight!) are a few of my favorites to date!
I love saguaros and all things cacti. You will usually find me wearing some sort of unique cactus earrings on the daily!

From start to finish, Lindsay was so sweet, patient, and easy to work with. We braved the Arizona heat together, and despite how uncomfortable it was, she captured my daughter so beautifully. These are memories we will cherish forever, and I’m so grateful to have such beautiful photos to celebrate this special milestone. I can’t recommend her enough!

She was amazing with our wild toddler and baby, and somehow got so many amazing shots despite the whirlwind of working with little ones. The final photos are stunning and are memories we will always treasure.

Super easy to connect with and willing to help you with your photography needs every step of the way: from outfits to the actual outing. She was very professional and did wonders in the 120 minutes that it took to capture all the photos

I am not the most comfortable in front of a camera but Lindsay made me feel more than comfortable and made the whole process fun. Before the pictures, she helped with finding a location and the timing she scheduled was perfect. She knew exactly what she was doing and everything was awesome!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lindsay was so wonderful to work with, I would have been lost without her suggestions. She made my son who hates taking photos comfortable and at ease. All the photos came out great I can’t make a decision on which to pick!! Thank you for capturing these memories.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lindsay did an incredible job with my son’s senior photos. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, efficient, and genuinely enjoyable. She is fun, confident, and completely in control of the shoot in the best way—it immediately put my son at ease and made him feel comfortable in front of the camera.

What really stood out was how prepared and thoughtful she was. She connected with my son ahead of time to understand his comfort level and walked him through exactly what to expect, which made a huge difference. She also provided a look book, outfit guidance, location options, and directed all the posing—taking all the guesswork and stress out of it.

And the results speak for themselves—every single photo turned out beautifully. Natural, polished, and exactly what you hope for in senior portraits.

I would absolutely recommend Lindsay to anyone looking for senior photos. She makes the entire process easy and delivers exceptional results.

Even though the weather didn’t cooperate on the day of our shoot (rain and crazy wind), she made it work seamlessly. We ended up with beautiful photos and unforgettable memories. I highly recommend Lindsay for capturing your special moments!
