Meet Lynn Townsend
Meet Lynn, a passionate photographer with 20 years of experience, dedicated to capturing the essence of women and their businesses through heartfelt connections and authentic imagery.
Feel the difference
At Illumine Photography, we know that it only takes one, gorgeous, authentic image to speak right to our hearts; we feel the difference immediately.
Authenticity exudes warmth, welcoming, trust, and connection. It stops the scroll, grounds us into the present moment, and establishes genuine connection and trust. If just one authentic image can do all of that, imagine a website and social media presence FULL of them!

Testimonials
Our client stories
Lynn has the rare ability to capture essence and somehow make a photo shoot feel like a rich conversation. Her approach is highly intuitive, personable and gracefully professional. I can honestly say that being in front of her camera is a delight (which I typically dread).
So if you’re lucky enough to book time with Lynn, look forward to seeing yourself through a masterfully authentic and beautifully human lens that’s ALL YOU."
I honestly never thought I'd ever enjoy looking through pictures of myself, but your artful design of each shot chased away any self-criticism and invited me to celebrate instead. They capture me at my best, open, curious, relaxed, and will help people coming to my business pages to feel a heart-connection to me before they've even met me."
You took time to ask and to hear me deeply, drawing out the subtleties of what I envisioned. I’m so glad I purchased the whole library of images; now everything is branded, feels aligned, and gives me so much to choose from. These images are also helping me articulate the best, most accurate reflection of the work I offer and who I am, which feels so wonderful!
Thank you so much for helping me land into a truer version of myself. “
I came away from the whole experience deeply connected to myself, while also feeling rejuvenated and so inspired."
I was blown away at how clear you were in creating sessions that would truly reflect me. My sessions with you have felt like pure magic; an opportunity not just to be photographed, but to tap into all that I feel capable of being.”
Lynn is a tireless professional, who really understands your goals, and will work with you (even with picky details) to get you want you wanted. The thing that underlies her work - and is really the sparkling gem - is that you really feel heard.
She gets to the root of who you are so she can bring that forward in its best light.
