Lindsay Rogerson Photography bio picture

  • Lindsay Rogerson Photography

    I am currently 22 years young and was born and raised in Sumter, South Carolina, but I have been living in beautiful Charleston, South Carolina for the past four years. I've grown quite accustomed to life in the Lowcounrtry and I'm not sure I ever want to leave! :) I received my Bachelor's Degree in Studio Art with a concentration in Photography from the College of Charleston in May of 2011. I am a collector of antique cameras and my collection is ever expanding… some cameras are as old as the turn of the 20th century! I shoot digital primarily, but I have a special place in my heart for film and accompanying darkroom.

    Most photographers say that photography is their "passion" or they "do it on the side for fun/money," but I feel my relationship with photography is much deeper than that. It is a part of me - probably the best part. I've dedicated my life to this craft starting at age fifteen and I haven't looked back once. I have never questioned that this is what I was born to do. When I capture the most beautiful, pleasing and heartfelt images that I possibly can, I am finally happy. But the best part is the feeling I get when seeing and hearing that my photographs have actually brought tears of joy to the eyes of my clients and that is how I know that I am who I'm supposed to be. God chose me, put me here at this time with this specific skill to help me make others feel joy, if only for a second.

    "I'm more of a machine; an input of ideas with an output of photographs. like a composer to his compositions. its already in your soul, you just have to find the right way to coax it out."

Little Miss Morgan

Thursday, February 2, 2012 Posted in Family & Children

I had the pleasure of photographing cutie pie Morgan once again at Swan Lake this past Tuesday in Sumter. This little girl is a ball of energy! She would be content with my camera and me for about 3 seconds and then she would bolt for any opening she could find to run in the opposite direction! She had her grandmama chasing her around as the rest of us howled with laughter. Being a child photographer is definitely not for those who get winded easily or those who have issues with getting very dirty on the ground, Hahaha. I left this shoot with grass stains on my jeans and all kinds of dirt (and other unmentionables… thanks to the swans!) smeared across my boots. But they are small bumps in the road when you get such AWESOME images as these. Definitely worth it!! Morgan is SO beautiful, I am always thrilled with the images from her sessions. It is something about her eyes and her intense gaze that absolutely love. Here’s some images from our session that I hope you enjoy as much as I do:

Ashley and Joe… Engaged!

Sunday, December 11, 2011 Posted in Engagements

I met Ashley and Joe at Waterfront Park in Downtown Charleston for an engagement shoot in November. Everything went smoothly and the pictures looked GREAT on camera! I was so excited to get these images home and put them on my computer… but little did I know that once I took the card out of my camera, that would be the last time I’d see those pictures (figuratively) alive. Something malfunctioned within the mechanics of the chip and I had many, many friends – very knowledgable in these areas – take their turns trying to save anything off the chip. To no avail, and after many tears from me, I asked Ashley and Joe to reshoot with me and they gladly agreed! They have been SO patient with me and they might be the SWEETEST couple! They had faith in me and my work and never seemed to doubt me! Lesson learned: NEVER use a chip for more than two years. REPLACE THEM! Hahaha! We had fun retracing our steps at Waterfront and the Battery… and to tell you the truth, I believe these pictures turned out better the second time around!!! I love these images and I think the lucky couple does too. And they get something special just for putting up with my failing chip mishap! Thanks guys!!

Parker: LRP’s First Ever Cutest Kid Contest Winner!

Tuesday, November 22, 2011 Posted in Family & Children

Parker was the winner of my first Cutest Kid Contest and, therefore, received an absolutely free photoshoot at the always gorgeous Waterfront Park in Downtown Charleston – if you couldn’t tell, probably my most favorite location to shoot right now!:)He had me running around the whole time trying to keep up with him. He just wanted to explore EVERYTHING… except my camera! But I definitely got some amazing shots that I really love of this little handsome boy. He’s definitely won the contest for a reason!:)ENJOY and stay tuned for the next contest!!

Paige and Thomas… Engaged!

Thursday, October 27, 2011 Posted in Engagements

I met Paige and Thomas in Manning to get some Engagement shots of the two of them. Lots of great photo ops out in the country… corn fields, big oak trees, barns, cotton fields – I just love being Southern!! Soon we discovered, though, that with the fields comes… BUGS! I swear I’m still brushing them out of my hair to this day. But I got to do something I’ve never done before in my life… pick cotton! Yep, I picked my first piece of cotton straight from the plant! I learn something new every photoshoot, haha:)We then travelled to Downtown Sumter to get some “city” shots to balance out our “country” ones, haha! We spent a good while searching for a doorway (that wasn’t grungy!) and got some cute shots in front of City Hall… how appropriate! These guys are awesome models and have the most ridiculously pretty eyes… don’t you think? Thanks Paige and Thomas for letting me photograph a bit of this special time in your life!!!

 And for those wondering… here’s my souvenir hand-picked cotton:D

Cindy Charles - Wonderful pictures, but you also had beautiful subjects. Paige,
I remember you at Crosswell Baptist Church when you must have been 4 or 5 years old. You have grown up to a beautiful young woman. Congrats on the engagement.

Sharon and Aiden

Tuesday, October 11, 2011 Posted in Family & Children

I met with Sharon and her son Aiden this past Saturday in Sumter for a mommy and son photoshoot. Aiden is very much a ‘bug enthusiast,’ so needless to say, I learned quite a few facts I didn’t know before about grasshoppers, caterpillars and ants… hahaha, future entomologist right there! It was an absolutely beautiful day and the light was just pouring in through the trees and dappling on the ground making such a wonderful backdrop for our session! Ahhh, I love days like that. Take a look at some of the shots we got that I am immensely proud of!:)

Here’s a grasshopper that Aiden caught just for those who are curious!
