Hi, I am Misty Lynn
I'm a lover, I'm a child, I'm a mother, I'm a sinner, I'm a saint. Yes, that was a quote from a song. lol
I've been known to break out in a song or too. I'm loud and outgoing. I will be the first to act crazy in our photo shoot. I shoot a little bit of everything, from lifestyle to boudoir. I'm diverse and support the YOU that YOU want to be.
When you look at a picture you should be able to do more than just see it. You should be able to feel it. I strive to do just that.
I will pose, prompt, and guide you the whole way through.
Let's make a memory.

I have so many favorite pics - I don’t even know where to begin! Thank you for helping making our wedding day one for the books - I could spend all day scrolling through these beautiful photos over and over again!! Also, thanks for editing my silly tattoo out, and for being absolutely hysterical.”

“Misty Lynn Photography surpassed my vision. Not only did she give us phenomenal photos. She captured the way he looks at me everyday, the teasing way I look at him when I’m trying to get him to follow me a little faster 😂, the playfulness, the laughter…the deep love. It’s not only what she does during the shoot. It’s the beforehand communication, the follow up after, the ease she puts you at during the photoshoot, the laughter she brings. She made me feel like a princess and a goddess all wrapped in one.”
