Hello, I'm Lynn-D

Columbia, SC Photographer

I am so happy you're here! I am the Mama to two beautiful children and the owner of Lynn-d Gunter Photography! I am a newborn, family and motherhood photographer based in Columbia and serving Columbia, Lexington, Chapin and surrounding areas. I'm inspired by the intimate connections between children and their parents, my goal with every session is to create a beautiful collection of dreamy and timeless portraits that speak to your heart. Each session includes pre-session planning and access to the LGP client closet. 

I am a featured artist for Motherhood and Family Portraiture. In 2023, I was awarded the "best family photographer in Columbia, SC"  by Quality Business Awards. You can find my work on The Motherhood Anthology, The Fount Collective, The White Wren and The Kindred Path.

What to expect

All about your session

I remember my first photography experience as a family with a toddler. Trying to get myself ready after the photographer changed our session date 5 days earlier the night before at 10pm. I had absolutely nothing to wear. Did I mention she emailed me at 10pm the night before.

I remember texting all my neighborhood gal pals, praying that their daughters had something my baby could fit in. I remember feeling so frazzled that day. Blow drying my insanely curly hair, throwing on makeup and hustling to make it to a session that I just found out about that morning.I treasure those portraits of our family, but I can’t help but remember the stress I felt that day! When I started my business, I knew I wanted to do something different. I want to make your session day feel as stress free as possible. This is why I take so few families a month. So I can dedicate more time for the ones I have in front of me. 

I've worked hard to curate an experience with absolutely no stress about what to wear. I do offer a small Client Wardrobe that is ever growing. and if you choose to opt for styling assistance, I am available to help you along the way as we prep for the session day. 

I've also researched the best makeup artists in the area, if you wish to set up a hair and makeup appointment for some pre-session pampering. 

My photo story

My photography journey began in 2013 after my engagement pictures were taken. When I received the files, I remember feeling the most beautiful I had ever felt and I was in awe by the artistic style of the imagery. My photographer had the ability to capture us in our true state. I had never seen anything like it. My obsession with this style of imagery began from there.

After having my daughter, something in my heart shifted. I felt inspired by the season of life I was in and the beauty and emotions of motherhood. I knew then that that was the type of work I wanted to do. Documenting the fleeting moments we have with our little ones.
