Welcome to the Linda Barry Photography Blog

You can usually find me adding books to my never-ending “to read” list; challenging myself to do things like not shop for a year; sneaking crispy m+ms from my secret hiding spot so I don’t have to share them with my daughter; and melting over seeing my children smiling at each other.

I share all things personal, business, tips, and life as a mom and business owner here on the blog!

I'm Linda!

And then when I realized they had a greenhouse that could be rented out? I was done for. Naturally, my plant-loving friend […]

Greenhouse Photo Session at East Pine Plant Shop

If you’ve been following along for even a minute, you know that I am a voracious reader. I can’t get enough. Most of the time I’m having an existential crisis about the fact that there will never be enough time to read all the books I want to read. My “to be read” list rapidly […]

My Favorite Books of 2025

I’ve worked with Matt for the last few years now, and through that I’ve gotten to see Matt + Marissa’s journey to parenthood. They recently became parents for the first time to the sweetest little baby girl, and I absolutely LOVED being able to do their newborn photos at home for them, when she was […]
