PERSONAL + CREATIVE PORTRAIT GUIDE
Contemporary, editorial style portraiture for personal expression, presence + confidence
A Creative Portrait Experience Designed Around Your Vision
This is a personal, creative portrait experience designed to capture your personality, presence and individuality in a way that feels expressive, confident and elevated.
These are some of my favourite signature-style shoots because they give us room to collaborate, explore, get creative, and create images that feel personal, intentional, and beautifully aligned.
Whether you’re updating a dating profile, building a modelling or acting portfolio, creating beauty or boudoir-inspired portraits, celebrating a personal milestone, or simply wanting portraits that feel more artful and fully you, we’ll create images you feel proud to share, print, frame, or keep just for yourself.
Every image is carefully photographed, edited, retouched, and delivered as a high-resolution digital file in both colour and black + white, giving you the freedom to print, frame, and share them online.
“Linda’s portraiture has a beautiful sensibility. She accurately captures the essence of her subjects and allows their personalities to flow out of her photographs into our collective conscience. Her work combines the timelessness of traditional portrait photography with a modern and contemporary perspective. Hers is a lovely and unique point of view.”
— Mark Pike, Open Road Productions
THE PERSONAL + CREATIVE EXPERIENCE
Every Personal + Creative Portrait experience is thoughtfully planned and guided to create imagery that feels cohesive, intentional and aligned with who you are.

LINDA MACKIE
Personal Brand, Portrait + Commercial Photographer
I’ve been bringing out the best in people in my editorial-style portrait photography since 2004 and can’t imagine doing anything else.
As a photographer, image-maker, content creator, visual artist, wife and mom, animal and nature advocate, and promoter of making a difference in the world, I believe images tell inspiring stories and speak for us when we can’t be there in person.
It’s my mission to help you be more compassionate with yourself and ultimately love, appreciate and accept yourself just the way you are, at any age.
