As an African American, I tend to seek out vendors who share my background. When I discovered that Linda offered a service specifically catering to my needs for my septuagenarian mom, I had mixed feelings. But then Linda reached out to me. During our initial conversations, Linda's enthusiasm for my vision started to ease my doubts. While some reservations remained, I felt confident moving forward because her services matched my needs perfectly. That first conversation made me optimistic about spending the money. Unprompted, Linda addressed all my concerns by hiring a makeup artist who understood African skin tones. This attention to detail increased my trust. She then asked countless questions about my mom, her personality, and more. Even though it was a surprise and my mom couldn’t be directly involved, Linda's genuine interest in understanding her as a person was evident. She aimed to capture not just a portrait but an experience that reflected my mom’s true essence. This intention became clear on the day of the shoot. My mom's approval of Linda was unmistakable. I saw it in her eyes and her childlike joy that day. This really culminated things for me. Linda isn't the cheapest photographer, but her dedication, critical eye, and commitment to collaboration are unmatched. She is deeply invested in her clients' satisfaction and defends their projects with passion. For her the value she brings, her price was right for me! Meeting Linda profoundly impacted me. Our numerous meetings revealed that photography is more than a job for her; it's a purpose and a tool to touch and change lives. Initially, I saw her as a photographer, but now, she is a friend and a mentor. I plan to stay close with her for years to come. Without hesitation, Linda is my choice for a family and forever photographer. Less
Linda was awesome at making sure I had exactly what I needed for my headshots. She explained things well and was willing to take as many shots as needed to get the result we were looking for. Highly recommend!
Linda was great to work with! She took the time to make sure she captured what I was looking for. Highly recommend!

I never know what to do in a photo but Linda made it fun! She put me through my poses (literally) to helped me find the fun in it and get my best side out there!
Took great Christmas pictures of my boys with Santa! Didn't rush, let them experience Santa and got great images. Definitely talk with her for your pictures!
My employer, a bank with +200k employees, established an impossible directive: Upload a professional corporate headshot to the website within 7 days to be included in holiday greeting cards. I didn’t have a recent headshot to use, and certainly not one that would pass professional muster, and took to Google to find a photographer nearest me.

My employer, a bank with +200k employees, established an impossible directive: Upload a professional corporate headshot to the website within 7 days to be included in holiday greeting cards. I didn’t have a recent headshot to use, and certainly not one that would pass professional muster, and took to Google to find a photographer nearest me. My search led me to Linda with Linda Packard Photography, and I’m sure glad it did! Linda promptly responded, assuring me she provided corporate headshots, had availability, and would get me scheduled. Just a couple days later, I was in her studio learning all the tips and tricks that would ensure the best looking corporate headshot I could manage! After maxing out every possible head tilt, smile size, eye squint, and neck extension, we looked through and narrowed down to our favorite. The next step was the real fear: the turnaround on editing, especially considering I have a face for radio. Lo and behold, Linda rushed the editing and turned around the corporate headshot in under 24hrs! We accomplished the impossible and all credit goes to Linda with Linda Packard Photography! I’m highly confident I wouldn’t have been able to meet the deadline had I not found her. Linda is communicative, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. I cannot recommend her too highly! Less
Awesome!
Ive taken pictures before, however, this experience was unmatched! Enjoyed the session, and helpful tips ! Highly recommend.
I reached out to Linda for professional head shots that would be used to update my LinkedIn profile. I do not like having my picture taken, so I was very nervous.

Linda, took photos for me and my co worker and was absolutely amazing. I am an introvert so I was nervous going in, and she was more than approachable.

Linda took the time to make me feel comfortable. She didn’t make me feel rushed, and was super funny. She went above and beyond and that made this experience one I will always remember.
AWESOME EXPERIENCE.....Very professional and friendly. Linda did an amazing job. I will definitely be telling all my military buddies and friends.
Linda made this process - which I was not looking forward to - such an enjoyable experience! Her professionalism and expertise in creating a "made for me" headshot produced phenomenal results. Her attention to detail made it easy to select the perfect photo for my professional portfolio. Highly recommended!!!
Linda did an excellent job with my headshots. She knows her craft and pays close attention to every fine detail. I highly recommend her services!
I really enjoyed my session. I was a little uncomfortable at the beginning because I had never had a photo session; however, Linda’s expertise brought out the best in me. I really started to feel more confident near the end of my session and it’s even reflected in my pictures (the very last picture I took ended up being my absolute favorite of the day). Awesome experience!
I am so very happy with my new headshot photo and would definitely recommend her as an expert in her field. She made it a fun and relaxed experience!!
I have had the pleasure of having more than one session with Linda over the past few years. I have had 2 maternity, 2 newborn, and a “turning 2” shoot. Linda even worked with us, about getting photos of our son with our 13 year old dog, I’m so thankful we did that photo session because our dog died a few months later.

I have had the pleasure of having more than one session with Linda over the past few years. I have had 2 maternity, 2 newborn, and a “turning 2” shoot. Linda even worked with us, about getting photos of our son with our 13 year old dog, I’m so thankful we did that photo session because our dog died a few months later. I absolutely loved the wardrobe provided, for the maternity photos. I felt insanely gorgeous in these gowns. Linda is very easy to talk to and has a great personality, so she makes you feel comfortable right away, and it helps make the session more fun. I’ve been happy with all my sessions and picture quality. Less

Linda is exceptionally talented and versatile. Over the years she has consistently captured images that I am proud to showcase in my home and to share with loved ones. Honestly these photographs have become some of my most cherished possessions! I mostly use Linda for standard infant and family pictures, but anyone with an adventurous spirit should use Linda for more creative endeavors. I recently went out of my comfort zone and posed for a “girls night out” photo shoot with friends. It was a riot! All girl tribes should definitely do this for the experience, the memories, and the photographs! Linda is an absolute professional. She is funny, time-efficient, and she works very well with kiddos. Her body of work speaks for itself! I highly recommend her! And everyone should check out her Christmas pictures. They are magical. Less
Linda is amazing she really is proud of her work because it's impeccable :) I've had many other photographers she is the first to take such pride in her work - she has photographed our family since we our First sons first birthday ( we have 2 sons now) we will use on one else
Linda has an AMAZING photographic eye! She is wonderful with children and families! The images she creates are nothing short of pure magic!
I have had both of my maternity sessions, both of my children’s newborn, and 1st year portraits done at Linda Packard Photography. Each and every time I have had a spectacular experience! The photos are always breath taking. She sees things through the lens of a camera that I can only describe as magical. Simply magical.
I love all her work! she is creative, sweet and kind and her skills are amazing! it's even better when you really love what you do and it shows!
Fantastic photographer!
Linda created portraits of me and my father a few months before he died. I will cherish them forever. She captured our interactions and playfulness. I have a series of 3 black and white portraits that are some of the most special things I have hanging on my wall.

Linda created portraits of me and my father a few months before he died. I will cherish them forever. She captured our interactions and playfulness. I have a series of 3 black and white portraits that are some of the most special things I have hanging on my wall. Linda has a real knack for capturing your personality and relationship with your family in front of the camera. I am a curvy girl and don't always like myself in front of the camera. The best way to know you have a talented photographer is when other photographers use that person to create family portraits for them. I highly recommend Linda Packard. You will not regret it! Less
