Not all that long ago, I was just a high schooler with a camera in hand and a huge passion for photography. I took every class I could, photographing my co-worker’s kids, the children I babysat, and of course, my own family. It wasn’t just something I liked—it was something I loved.

But then, life happened. After graduation, I had to put my dreams on pause to work full-time and make a living. Fast forward two years after graduation, and I was newly married, still feeling lost about what I wanted to do with my life. I just knew one thing for sure: working the same job, doing the same thing every single day, wasn’t it.

With my husband’s encouragement, I enrolled in online college at NDSCS, hoping to find my path. But halfway through the semester, I had a gut feeling—it just wasn’t for me. So, I made the tough decision to unenroll, not knowing what was next.

Then came our big wedding in 2018 (which is a whole other story for another day). Let’s just say our photography experience was… disappointing. Really disappointing. But oddly enough, that moment changed everything for me. I remember thinking, I could do this. And I could do it a hundred times better. That was the spark I needed, and just like that, Lindsey Bini Photography was born.

I feel so unbelievably grateful that I get to do what I love every single day. Photography isn’t just about snapping pictures—it’s about telling stories, capturing emotions, and making people feel special. And while I love photography with all my heart, the real magic is in the relationships I get to build with my clients. In following my passion and building a business rooted in love, I’ve found so much more than I ever could have imagined.

I knew I had more to offer than just sitting at a desk
