“I hired Linda to shoot my new personal branding photos and I am so glad I did! Firstly, the discussions we had beforehand about my intentions and objectives were extremely valuable.
Going into the shoot, I was confident she understood the mood and look I was going for and the image I wanted to project. She managed to capture my essence and was sensitive to my insecurities all the whilst making our entire time together very enjoyable.
I was also very pleased with the hair and makeup person she chose for me. I highly recommend Linda and her team!"

"
Linda is the perfect blend of professional and friend. She keeps the process so light and down-to-earth that you almost forget it’s actually work - or part of the “job”. But when she unveils the top-level results a few days later, you remember why you were there - and why you chose HER -
in the first place.
Thanks for the boost in my confidence, Linda - I can’t tell you what a gift that is in these early days of Solutions SMP. See you at the top!"

My new portraits are fabulous and other realtors have told me what a great example they are of how to represent yourself professionally and naturally allowing your personality to come through. Linda photographs the real you, inside and out…I looked great and very natural for the shoot."

Linda is a consummate professional and I now have a variety of images to use for my various businesses."

"I really enjoyed spending my day with Linda - she took the time to make me feel relaxed and comfortable. I am thrilled with how my photos turned out. I had a wonderful experience and am very pleased with the results. I've worked with other photographers before. The difference is that Linda took the time before the shoot to get to know me, what I wanted to achieve, and how I would use the photos. I think this information helped us get the best possible images!"

Linda’s unique style and knowledge add tremendous value for business clients looking to take their brand image to the next level. I could not be happier with my experience!"

​
"I had the pleasure of working with Linda recently when we collaborated on my personal branding photos for the newest incarnation of my business. What a blast! I did a lot of research before finding Linda, and as soon as I saw her online portfolio, I knew she was the one!
When I got the questionnaire she asked me to fill out to better get to know me, and for me to talk about what my new brand and I were about - I was even more convinced she was the artist who could help me uplevel my brand so I can keep building the kind of business I want, and I attract the clients and opportunities I'm looking for!
The shoot experience was amazing, and so much fun! From hair and make-up, to outfit changes, to different locations - we all had such a great time! Not only that, Linda actually rolled up her jeans, and got knee-deep in ocean water with her equipment so she could get the shots she envisioned and I wanted!
The selection process was a breeze, and I now have my 10 images for print and web, along with 10 beautiful prints my family and I can enjoy in our home.
​
Linda is a true artist who pays attention to detail, really gets to know her clients and what they want (challenging them to detail as much as possible beforehand so the shoot can really capture what the client wants to convey), and definitely goes the extra mile for creativity!
​
I also believe she is more talented than she knows, and am already looking forward to the next photo shoot when we move forward and spiral upwards even more. Linda is also an amazing public speaker and teacher, and is super passionate about personal branding!"

"I had a gut feeling when I met Linda that she was going to be the next big thing in portrait photography. When I saw her work online, it confirmed that she had "the eye". The eye I knew so well from many years working in the fashion industry. My portraits are not only working for me, they ARE me - the key to my soul, the first impression to prospective clients. More importantly, they invite people to trust me. That was our goal and what is happening. Thank you Linda for creating images that represent me authentically and what I do!"

"While looking for a photographer, I came across Linda's portfolio. What stood out to me the most was that I seemed to be able to have a sense of who the people in her photographs really were. Linda's ability to draw out the personality of her subjects and capture it on camera was obvious. The response that I have been receiving from my portraits has been beyond my expectations. What I enjoyed the most about working with Linda was how comfortable she made me feel both in preparation for the shoot and during the shoot. She took the opportunity to get to know what I was looking for in my portraits. I would say that working with Linda was a true pleasure and that the quality of her work, along with her professionalism, will definitely bring me back."

"I loved Linda's style in capturing her subjects in a natural environment. I wanted photos that show my personality and what I do for a living.

She has a way of capturing your personality which is essential for attracting ideal clients."

"I was referred to Linda when I needed some branding photos for my business. So grateful that the universe brought us together. Linda had a beautiful and easy process for bringing me on, getting to know me, and getting to know the type of images that I wanted to create. The results are wonderful. She made me look so great and for someone who doesn't really love getting their picture taken, she made it so comfortable and easy for me. I would welcome the opportunity to work with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to make an impact with their photos. I have received nothing but amazing feedback from everyone who comes across them."

"I’m not one who loves the camera but Linda made my experience so natural and effortless that I forgot the camera was even there! Linda’s energy during her shoots shines through in her work. She captures the personality and essence of her subjects through her calm presence and innate ability to find the best light. Not only is Linda a talented photographer, she’s a warm and kind person, which is the type of person I enjoy working with."

"My experience working with Linda was wonderful! The images we shot together created a very high-end brand image which led to an easy fee increase as well over 500 people to my newsletter list in just one month! Linda took the time to understand me and my brand and had an accurate vision of what I wanted in my new photos. Every last detail was taken care of - the location, hair and makeup and an assistant to help with all the details was superb. I felt like a star for a day! And while the experience was first-class, the end result of the images was even better. If you want to up-level your brand and create real quality results, then invest with Linda..she makes the process easy."

"My branding shoot with Linda was incredibly empowering and gave me a huge confidence boost that is serving me well in my life and business. To be surrounded by such nurturing and supportive women is the key to getting great images, as is working with a brilliant photographer and incredible makeup artist, who love what they do! I was emotional when I saw my images and so happy with them. I’m putting myself out there with less fear in my heart and am extremely grateful to Linda and Jen for helping me transform the way I see myself. The entire process has been life-altering and one of the best things I’ve ever done."

"I had an excellent experience working with Linda. I appreciated the in-depth questionnaires associated with my personal branding photography package. They not only helped me understand what to expect, but they helped guide and direct my vision for my new business. With Linda, I established and developed my personal brand, and this, in turn, generated excitement for the inception of my business. I also appreciate that my experience included a team of professionals; we all collaborated to create successful, useful images. If you are committed to understanding who you are at this moment, as well as seeing who you have the potential to become, book a personal branding photography package with Linda."

"Linda is a rare treasure! What makes her stand out is her uncanny ability to capture her clients’ essence - that unique energy about them that makes them, them! I see it in my own photos, definitely, but I also see it throughout her portfolio - which is the reason I knew I wanted to work with her. She brings a depth to her work that allows her photos to stand out and be seen. Linda took the time to get to know me and my goals in advance, and that made the photo shoot very comfortable and relaxed. I was impressed with her energy and commitment to get the shot. What Linda has delivered is so much more than personal branding photos - these are a reflection of my best self!"

"I chose Linda Mackie as my photographer for two important occasions. The first was the launch of my professional website for which I needed professional branding and editorial photographs. The second, several years later, was my 50th birthday, for which I wanted more personal portraits and images to mark this milestone in my life. Working with Linda is always a wonderful experience. From planning to shooting and then choosing and editing the images, Linda is meticulous and detailed. Linda puts in the time to understand her clients (and their brand/business) and makes sure her clients get the images that are important to them. I trust Linda implicitly when it comes to professional and personal photography, and I look forward to working with her again in the future!

"I was inspired by Linda's photography on Facebook. The best compliment was that my photos capture my joy and essence, which was exactly my original intention. I had an excellent experience with Linda and appreciated that she listened to what I asked for (fun and getting more direction from her) and she totally delivered. Linda was really easy and fun to work with, reasonably priced (maybe too reasonable!) My photos speak for themselves. I had a wonderful time working with Linda and look forward to more adventures in the future!"
