ABOUT US
WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS
Anne Lindsay of Anne Lindsay Photography has been creating photographic magic for the Seattle and Eastside areas for 10 years now.
Redheads. Businesspersons. Children. Families. Pets. Architecture. Anne’s portraits have captured the essence of all these groups and more. Catching the laugh here, the smile there, in her subjects’ faces has been the mission and the reward of her calling.
Anne’s studio is on the drop-dead gorgeous Pine Lake in Sammamish, Washington. East of Seattle, Bellevue, Lake Washington, and Lake Sammamish (but west of Manhattan), Pine Lake is a hidden oasis amongst the Eastside’s expanding urban sprawl. It's smack between Issaquah and Redmond. Pine Lake offers a hidden oasis where you can relax and let your best self emerge.
Anne's indoor studio can be used for everything from more formal portraits to hair-raising drama. Or, when the weather is clear, take advantage of Anne's gorgeous lakeside carden to serve as the backdrop of your photos.
Should you desire, there are many local and regional parks that make memorable backdrops for your session as well, including Sammamish Commons, Pine Lake Park, Beaver Lake Park and Marymoor Park and finally, during the rare afternoon of Seattle rain, Anne utilizes her indoor studio for everything from formal portraits to hair-raising heights.
WHAT KIND OF MAGIC HAPPENS
Anne has been in the business of photography for 10 years creating portraits at her Pine Lake Studio of adults, high school seniors, children, redheads, pets and architecture, A laugh here and smile there has been the modus operandi. Catching all these moods has been the challenge and juice of our business.
Our clients have included web site designers, dentists, schools, marketing gurus, a tv commercial company, artists, authors, kids, pets, families and many more.

On Saturday, July 17, 2010, the first annual " Largest gathering of people with natural red hair" will happen in Sammamish, Washington at the Skyline High School Stadium right across the street from Sammamish City Hall. Sammamish Washington is located about 15 miles from downtown Seattle, Washington. It's a beautiful little town nestled on the edge of Lake Sammamish.
Anne Lindsay, photographer and chronicler of redheads, is creating a book about natural redheads. She's photographed 100 redheads and plans on photographing many more.
Anne got a red bee in her bonnet and decided to try to go for the record. We only need 250 natural redheads but she knows we can get more. In fact, she's hoping for at least 3,000 redheads. Why 3,000? Because we want to try to outdo our friend Bart Rouwenhort and his Redheadday in the Dutch town of Breda. We want to start a friendly competition between Breda (Europe) and Sammamish (USA) !
Once again, to participate, one must be a natural redhead. Guinness requires that all the redheads produce a high resolution (at least 5x7, 300 dpi) image. For older natural redheads, a high resolution scan or digital image of when young is also required.
The only event this year is the gathering.
We will have a second annual event next year and we will offer more events. We can't wait to see all our natural redheads on July 17th.
PLEASE, we love brownheads, blackheads and blondeheads, but we can only accommodate our redheads this year. Please stay home and watch the event on TV.

ABOUT ANNE
When did I start shooting? At the Grand Canyon at the age of 6 toting around my brownie camera. I still have my trusty brownie. I was an amateur photographer, capturing images for personal use until my daughter was born in 1997. I attended The Art Institute of Seattle for two years in commercial photography. I have had my own photography business for 10 years.
I’m a black and white sort of person.
In fact, they are my favorite colors. Always have been. So if you see me with one black shoe and one white, you’ll know I haven’t lost my marbles. I just adore
the combination.
Color photography crept into my pallet about 4 years ago when I went "digital". Almost all of my work was in black and white for the first 6 years. The wonder of digital photography is I can create both color and black and white images.
Most of my work has revolved around portrait work, especially children. However, architecture found a home amongst my clients. Before becoming a photographer, I was an architect for 15 years.
In addition, I have come across some wonderful authors and have collaborated on two published books.
Today, the next step in photography is to create photography books. The first photography book will be stories and images of redheads. The illusive redheads have drawn me into their realm and I feel compelled to create images of them in black and white with their red hair and in color. The redheads included in my book are all REAL redheads. No bottle heads in my book.
Tell me a joke and I'll try to figure out the punch line. I'm not very good at punch lines but I'm really great at photography. I started my life hanging around Olympia, Washington with my family, my trusted brownie camera, my ballet slippers and some art supplies. We lived in the house my grandfather and uncles built. Yep, I'm a third generation Northwesterner I fish, ski, garden, walk the dog, attend swim meets, read, write and photograph everything in sight.
My family and I live on Pine Lake in Sammamish, Washington. It's great to hang out on the end of the dock in the sunshine when it's not raining. The otter, eagles, frogs, deer and trout are wonderful diversions when I'm not clicking the shutter.
