Linda Wilson Photography

I first met Linda from Linda Wilson Photography at an event where she was set up as a vendor. Her photography immediately caught my eye since I had been looking for someone to take pictures of my daughter. Her photos have a cool vintage/​romantic feel to them that I really loved.
At that event I entered a drawing for a free portrait session, figuring I would probably take my daughter to Linda either way. And surprise! I was one of the lucky winners. So, that saved me the cost of the session fee.
Linda was pretty busy for scheduling since it was close to Easter and spring break, but I was able to get an appointment after school on a weekday within a couple weeks.
When I arrived at Linda’s studio I didn’t see it at first. The address is EE Williamson Rd, but you’ll need to make a right onto Shariff Ct. The building on the left when you turn onto Shariff looks like a mechanic, but Linda’s studio is actually at the very front of this building, facing EE Williamson. There is some parking along the front fence.
The studio is much larger than I expected, especially since it’s just one photographer. There is a front waiting room, a room in the center where you view your photos and the studio in the back. There is a restroom where you can change if you need to.
For the photo session I brought a few changes of clothes like Linda suggested. She has a large selection of backdrops and props to use as well. The walls are covered in props for baby photos, antique chairs, tubs, baskets, all kinds of things. These are mainly used for baby photos. Linda also had a good selection of clothing, unique things that matched the style of her photos. She suggested a really cute fur-​lined coat for my daughter to wear. It was adorable and ended up being one of my favorite pictures.
Our photo session went a bit over an hour. Linda took a ton of photos in a variety of poses and outfits. She is really creative and had lots of ideas. She really customized the session to fit my daughter’s personality.
Linda gave us the option of staying to view the photos the same day or returning for a viewing appointment later. I decided to go back later since I knew my daughter would want me to buy everything. In the meantime Linda posted one of the photos to Facebook, which was really nice. When I went back for the viewing Linda had prepared a slideshow with her favorite photos. We then went through the photos in groups to narrow it down to the ones I wanted to purchase.
There were so many beautiful pictures it was really hard to decide. We spent almost an hour reviewing the pictures. In the end I think we settled on 6. I bought a package that gave me digital images and one print each of 4 poses. Linda said she would touch up those pictures some before sending them to print, which was really nice.
While waiting for my prints Linda e-​mailed and asked if I would like another photo posted to Facebook. I thought that was really nice of her.
Fantastic, creative, and fun photos unlike anything you would get from a chain portrait studio. Linda really takes her time with you and takes great pictures. I’d highly recommend her. I’m sure I’ll be taking the rest of my family for photos with her in the future.
