Thank you for visiting the Lindsay Novak Photography website. Below is a little snippit of how I view the world.
My favorite kind of photography: Each time I am asked what kind of photography I love most, I answer "people". Humans have so many emotions to convey, there is always something interesting to capture. A slight squint of the eye or upward turn of the corner of a mouth can create an entirely different emotion. It is easy to photograph a face, but capturing a face along with emotion means I have captured someone's personality.
My goal for each photo session: I see every one of my photo sessions as a story-telling opportunity. It is my goal to tell a story, a story that captures the essence of the client and his or her personality. I strive to keep my photographs true to their subjects by getting to know my clients beforehand and exchanging ideas with them to give them the best service and experience possible.
My Style: There are lots of trendy words out there right now for photographic styles. I prefer a fusion of primarily lifestyle photography with photojournalism. Lifestyle photography is photography that recreates real-life situations in a controlled setting. I can help set up the moment, but I let you do the rest! This gives me more control to get images with optimum color and lighting. My photojournalistic eye is always watching for those special candid moments in uncontrolled settings like churches, receptions, etc.
My Methods: I often go on-site to clients' houses or go to a site of their choice in order to create a more natural environment. Being a location photographer allows me endless background choices and encourages my subjects to be themselves in front of the camera.
My Equipment: Canon all the way baby! Favorite Lenses: EF 24-70mm L Series F2.8, EFS 10-22mm F3.5, Sigma Fisheye, EF 50mm…Oh it is so hard to choose!!! The 10-22 is probably my favorite. I love wide angle shots.
Professional Merits: I am a member of PPA (Professional Photographers of America). This means I am constantly educating myself photographically. I am actively involved in the photography community to keep my style, methods, and equipment up-to-date in order to better serve my clients.
Where I live: Currently I reside in Inverness, FL, but I am from the upper-Northeast portion of the US, most recently Wisconsin. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a degree in Biology as well as Education.
Fun Facts:
I was a swimmer in high school and college. My best 100back time was 55.77 and 50back was 25.9 (short course).
I pole vaulted in college. My best height was 12 feet, 7-1/2 inches.
My husband was also a pole vaulter. His best height is 17 feet, 7-1/4 inches.
I lived in Jonesboro, AR for two years.
I would do almost anything for a Jimmy Johns’s #1 Pepe sandwich with cucumbers.
I am 5 feet 8 inches tall.
I can do that gross double jointed thing with my thumb.
I LOVE scuba diving!
My favorite color is green.
I have 2 adorable dogs…a beagle and a little mutt that people say looks like a German Shepherd puppy.
My husband has amazing abs. hehe.
Famous people I’ve met:

Famous people I’ve met:
-
Natalie Coughlin, Matt Grevers, and Michael Phelps. They are all Olympic swimmers. I used to go to swim meets with them. I actually opened a door on Natalie Coughlin’s toe. Oops!
-
Derek Miles, Jillian Schwartz, Kellie Suttle, Jeff Hartwig, Earl Bell. They are all Olympic Pole Vaulters. I met and trained with Jillian at Bell Athletics for a short time.
-
Mike Rowe. The Dirty Jobs Guy! He is also the narrating voice on Deadliest Catch. I saw him at Target and got a photo with him. He was in Arkansas doing a special on Dung Beetles. He's totally cool in person.
