Hi There! I’m Linda!
I've been passionate about photography since childhood, carrying my camera to capture moments at parks, parties and family gatherings. Growing up in NYC, I developed a natural eye for composition, light and meaningful moments, long before the digital age of social media.
After moving to New Jersey, the birth of my grandson Leonardo sparked my journey into newborn photography. What began with photographing him and creating custom setups evolved into working with other families. I pursued extensive training under renowned international photographer Ana Brandt, traveling across the country to learn from her. Today, I'm proud to serve as her associate, trainer, ambassador and New Jersey brand dealer.
I believe strongly in hands-on learning, which is why I offer in-person mentoring at either my studio or yours. I can guide you through all aspects of newborn photography - from baby safety and wrapping to posing, lighting, camera settings and professional techniques I've mastered over the years.

One-on-One Mentoring – Tailored to You
Whether you're just beginning your photography journey or already have experience, one-on-one mentoring sessions are fully customized to meet your specific needs.
If you're new to photography, we'll start with the fundamentals—camera settings, lighting, and essential techniques. For more advanced photographers, we'll focus on areas where you may need extra guidance or feel stuck.
For example, in maternity photography, posing and lighting can be challenging—especially when aiming for a specific look. It's not uncommon to draw a blank mid-session (trust me, it happens!). I’ll help you build a reliable workflow and develop smooth transitions between poses so you can shoot with confidence and creativity.
Why In-Person Mentoring Makes a Difference
There’s tremendous value in hands-on learning at your own studio. I’ll walk through your current setup, assess your gear, and provide practical recommendations to enhance your results—specifically tailored to maternity and newborn sessions.
If you're a traveling photographer or don’t have a dedicated studio, you’re welcome to conduct your mentoring session at my studio instead.

2026 Workshops and Shootouts
Introducing the 2026 Monthly Workshop Series — a year-long learning experience for photographers ready to master newborn and maternity artistry.
Each month features a dedicated theme designed to sharpen your skills, strengthen your confidence, and expand your creative toolbox. From lighting to posing to workflow, each workshop is hands-on, deeply guided, and crafted with intention. I also am working to have co-hosts and other well known photography creators at a few of the workshops (Details will be listed in the monthly view.)
Whether you’re new to the genre or ready to refine advanced techniques, every session is immersive, practical, and built to give you results you can bring straight to your clients.
Workshops are held in-studio, with limited seats to ensure personal attention, real-time feedback, and a supportive learning environment.
All Timeless Image by LM workshops are limited to 8 photographers and Shootouts are designed for 10-12 photographers.
My preferred vendors may set up at every workshop and most attend workshops that are also listed as vendor pop up. What is a vendor pop up? Prop Vendors are on hand with seasonal props for your shopping pleasure and time is set aside for photographers who just want to stop by and browse and shop.
