Morocco Travel Beyond Marrakech

By LCLindley|February 16th, 2026|Commercial Photography, Travel|

Traveling beyond Marrakech took planning, patience, and a willingness to embrace a few long travel days, but it was worth every mile. From the coastal ease of Essaouira to the steep blue alleyways of Chefchaouen and the dense historic core of Fes, each city required something different from us. My personal guide covers where to stay, where to eat and drink, and what is actually worth your time in each place, along with my photos from our adventures. If you are mapping out Morocco travel beyond Marrakech, I've got you!

How a Headshot Station Adds Real Value to Corporate Events

By LCLindley|February 9th, 2026|Commercial Photography, Headshots, Tips for Creatives|

Headshots taken at corporate events can do far more than update LinkedIn profiles. When structured well, a corporate event headshot station supports internal culture, brand alignment, and imagery that employees actually want to use. Up on the blog this week is why my way is the best way and how flexibility, experience, and attention to people make all the difference in the end result.

What began as a follow-up to a castle in Malta turned into a group trip to Marrakech for thirteen friends. We stayed inside the medina walls at a private riad that set the tone for the entire experience. From rooftop dinners to cocktails in hidden garden bars, we found magic in the chaos of this wild and wonderous medina. This post covers what worked, what we learned, and what I’d recommend for anyone planning a similar trip.

Event Photography ROI: How Strategic Images Drive Engagement and Sponsorship Sales

By LCLindley|December 8th, 2025|Commercial Photography, Event Photos, Tips for Creatives|

Event photography ROI comes from images that do more than document a room. This post shows how sponsor-focused, intentional photography drives engagement, strengthens marketing, and supports sponsorship renewals. From capturing clean brand touchpoints to delivering same-day highlights for social, these visuals actually move the needle. If you want photography that supports outcomes instead of simply covering an event, here’s how I approach it.

By LCLindley|November 17th, 2025|Commercial Photography, Event Photos|

If you are a business at the forefront of tech, or at the intersection of tech and finance, it should come as no surprise that the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) stands at the epicenter of innovation as far as conferences go. It is where major electronics companies give keynotes regarding new innovation, where products are launched, and where the latest breakthroughs and futuristic concepts take center stage. Every year in January in Las Vegas, industry leaders, tech enthusiasts, and innovators and startups from around the globe gather to showcase, pitch, and network. CES demands attention to detail, precision, and professionalism. Your brand presence at CES can be highly elevated by hiring a conference event photographer, ensuring that the moments you coordinate and unveil are well documented.

3 Days in Florence

By LCLindley|November 13th, 2025|Commercial Photography, Europe, Travel|

Florence is slower, smaller, and built for wandering. With just three days, you can eat incredibly well, drink local wine in quiet corners, and still have time to get lost on purpose. My 3 day travel guide for Florence, Italy skips the tourist checklist and goes straight to what I think is actually worth my time.

Rome Off the Beaten Path: Lauren’s Travel Guide

By LCLindley|October 20th, 2025|Commercial Photography, Europe, Travel|

I waited a long time to visit Italy, partly because I worried I wouldn’t want to leave. When I finally went, I skipped the gelato lines (I don't eat it y'all), the tourist grid, the standard spots, and wandered neighborhoods instead. I ate carbonara on a side street in Esquilino, hunted down Space Invader mosaics across Pigneto, and became a regular at a wine bar in Trastevere. If you’re ready to experience Rome off the beaten path my way, this guide is for you.

Gator By the Bay 2025 was four days of music, food, and nonstop energy along the San Diego waterfront.

Here’s what it looked like through my lens, from headlining acts to spontaneous dance circles, every corner of the festival had a story and after 14 straight workdays across three states, this one still stood out.

Inside Kinaxis at the Fairmont: Telling a Brand Story Through Photography

By LCLindley|April 14th, 2025|Austin, Commercial Photography, Event Photos|

When Kinaxis brought their North American team to the Fairmont Austin, they created more than an event—they built a full-scale brand experience. From candid team moments and custom activations (puppy lounge, anyone?) to a private concert with Nelly, I was there to capture it all with a focus on storytelling, not just documentation. The result? A gallery that helped their team connect, celebrate, and even pitch future sponsors with confidence. This is corporate event photography that actually works for your brand—during the event and long after the lights go down.

My SXSW 2025 Highlights: My Top 10

By LCLindley|March 24th, 2025|Austin, Commercial Photography, Concerts, Event Photos, music, SXSW|

As usual, SXSW 2025 was a whirlwind of incredible moments, and I had the privilege of capturing them firsthand. From watching Sir Jude work her magic at the Central Presbyterian Church, to witnessing Sam Ryder’s explosive debut at the BME, it was a week full of surprises. I got to photograph artists whose music and energy left a lasting impression, including Bruvvy’s chaotic messy set and the powerful discussions at panels like Defying Invisibility with the lead actors from Hulu's new show Deli Boys. SXSW is always a unique experience, but this year felt particularly special, and I can’t wait to see where these artists go next.
