We have written a few of these spotlight pieces to help promote the businesses and charities that are supporting us on Kids Are Heroes Day. When we do this, we ask for a paragraph or two from the person or company we feature so that they can “blow their own horn” so to speak. Michelle Lindsay has worked with us in the past on Kids Are Heroes Day in 2009. I knew how good her work was, so when she agreed to come all the way from Alexandria, Virginia to Frederick, MD again to do pro bono work for us, we were naturally thrilled. I didn’t know, however, how much she is being recognized in her field as she explains below. It certainly isn’t surprising, because all along I’ve known how phenomenal her work is (see examples below) and deserving of being showcased in elite international magazines and beyond. But when people get to be “big shots” as she certainly is, it’s nice to know how eager she is to come to our little city and photograph our kids. Even if you are not looking for a photographer, we encourage you to visit her website to see some more stunning pictures.

“Originally from the Midwest, Michelle Lindsay found a home here on the East Coast back in 2001 when she moved to Boston to study Graphic Design and Photojournalism. After working as the Director of Marketing for a small Portrait Studio, she founded Michelle Lindsay Photography LLC in 2006. In 2008, she relocated her business down to the DC area. Located in Northern Virginia, Michelle photographs around 20 weddings a year, as well as children and family portraiture. She is available for commissions anywhere in the US and abroad and has enjoyed working in various locations including New England, the Midwest, the Bahamas and London, England. Known for her fresh viewpoint in wedding photography, Michelle’s work has garnered her recognition in various bridal publications and blogs, including Washingtonian Bride&Groom, theKnot, Brides, Get Married, Southern New England Weddings, United with Love and Capital Romance. An active member of the photographic community, Michelle also thoroughly enjoys being an educator. She has presented on a national stage at Imaging USA and in 2010, Michelle Lindsay Photography was named one of the Top 10 Up and Coming Studios by the Professional Photographers of America. Michelle continues to work on personal photography projects and her personal work can currently be viewed at Dulles Airport as part of the International Gateway Gallery.“
