We had the good fortune of connecting with Lindsey Tomaine and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Lindsey, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
For the past few years, I had been thinking of starting my own photography business. From the time when I was a little girl, I have always loved taking photos, particularly portraits of people. After my daughter was born in 2022, I realized that it was the right time to embark upon a new adventure and pursue this long-standing dream of mine. Aside from having the opportunity to spend my time working in a field that I loved, my business has afforded me flexibility to manage having a career, care for my young family, and develop an additional income stream.

What should our readers know about your business?
What sets me apart from other photographers is that I offer heirloom photography! This type of photography captures timeless portraits of little ones that will last generations! Having a young child myself, is what drove me to start my business and to offer these types of photos. There is no one else local to the Athens, GA area that offers them, so I thought it would be a great opportunity for moms like me to get these types of classic photos!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would show them all the great places there are in the Athens area where we live! We would start out eating brunch at my favorite spot, Le Gabrielle Crepes & Waffles in Winder (our little one LOVES the fruit smoothies they have)! In the afternoon check out downtown Athens for some shopping, see the UGA campus, and finish up eating dinner at Last Resort!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My husband is my biggest supporter! Always encouraging me to do what I believe in, even when sometimes I doubt myself! My daughter, Harper, definitely gives me my motivation everyday (even though she gets a little jealous of me taking pictures of other kiddos at my in home studio).
