about goldie
Professional photographer, storyteller, lover of newborn snuggles, your biggest supporter, and a small part of your village.
Remembering every moment is officially off your plate, from first consultation, to the final printing process.
From an early age, I learned the value of tangible, heirloom albums and photographs. They allowed me to learn about, honor, and cherish family members I would never meet. Now as a very sentimental mom of two, I know all too well how fast the days fly by, and since 2017, I’ve been able to help families preserve those precious fleeting days for a lifetime and beyond.
Through my dedication to comfort, safety, and intentional personalization, I create a seamless, stress-free photography experience for my families that allows them to not just scroll past photos, but walk past them every single day.
There’s so much value in holding a photograph and saying “oh, gosh remember when…”
my why:
I was the kid who spent hours flipping through old photo albums and sifting through the shoe boxes of loose prints. I was always bringing my mom a photo and asking who was in the photo, which would inevitably lead to stories, and now my kiddos do the same thing to me!
I am certified in newborn safety and posing. I have been voted Best Photographer of St Joseph for 2020, 2021, 2023, and picked favorite for 2022.

My birth name is Mattie and I changed it to Goldie myself later in life. It was a decision I would make again every time! I love my name.

When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me outside on our mini homestead with my family. My husband and I are city raised with country souls and are so blessed to have the opportunity to raise our boys so close to nature.

Kind Words
My wife and I were reluctant to schedule a newborn session with baby #3 due to past sessions with other photographers. To say we were absolutey blown away by how wonderful of an experience we had with Goldie is an understatement. My only regret is that we didn't have newborn sessions with our other children done at her studio. The process was seamless and stress free from start to finish. The attention to detail on the final product was flawless and they were back to us timely. My expectation as a parent when walking into the studio - with a six year old, two year old and newborn - is that the experience would be chaotic, stressful and filled with frustration. The environment Goldie creates broke the mold, it could not have been more sublime. Our session was welcoming, kid friendly and relaxing. Every parent should do themselves a favor and have their newborn photos done at Goldie Lynn's Studio. We are forever grateful for the lasting moments and memories Goldie captured for us.
