The heart behind Oak & Heirloom came from a new mother’s desire to never forget any of her children’s milestones. Milestone photography slowly became full family photography and then grew to capturing the legacy of other families as well. My desire to truly get to know my clients and capture your personality is what sets LCP apart. From the location of your session to your outfits and posing we will work together to create a session that is as “you” as possible!

I am Lyndsey and I’m a photographer serving South Carolina and the Georgia CSRA. I love that photography allows me to capture moments in time for clients to look back on and cherish forever.

My husband, HB, and I live in Gilbert, SC with our three young children: Jonah, Amelia, and Mathias. I left my career as a music educator to be a full time momma and I am so thankful that God has gifted me with the creative outlet of photography. A few of my favorite things are spending time with family, southern hospitality, chocolate in any form , coca-cola, and our hobby farm! Have a look around and say hey so we can get to know each other!

I am Samantha and I am living in South Carolina with my precious family of seven. I am pursuing an associates degree in media marketing and am so excited for the opportunity to be a part of the O+H team. Photography has always been something that I’ve loved to do. My love for photography started at an early age and was strongly encouraged by my mom. Being able to capture all of the sweet and exciting moments of life in order for families and loved ones to cherish for a lifetime is a great joy. When I am not working or studying, I love exploring the great outdoors with my friends and family. From hiking in the mountains, to jumping waves at the beach, all memories made outside with the people I love is my favorite.

Mari is the mother of five wonderful human beings, Sal, a college senior gearing up for his wedding this summer, Samantha, a college freshman also headed to the altar this summer, Donovan, Samuel, and Sofia. My love of photography started well before children and only grew as I recorded their lives through pictures. My favorite part of photography is being able to freeze moments in time, capturing the emotion and experience to enjoy for years to come. So much of life is worth retelling and remembering so being able to document these moments for people is a gift. My favorite pastimes include traveling with my family and gardening. When I am not taking pictures I spend my time teaching worldview and spanish to local homeschool students and homeschooling my own children. I am excited to being working with the O+H team!

fun facts about Mari
I’m a new resident in Irmo, SC with my husband, Phillip. I work, full time, as an Area Sales Manager with Sree Hotels but have always had the love of weddings in my heart. For as long as I can remember I’ve had heart eyes for going to weddings, watching rom coms and hosting Barbie and Ken's special days. In college at The University of South Carolina, I majored in Hospitality Management and interned as a wedding coordinator which then led to becoming a wedding and events manager at a private country club in Upstate South Carolina. I have since distanced myself from weddings to explore other career opportunities, but through helping to plan friends weddings and my own have always had the same love for love! As a very Type A person, organization, details and timelines give me such a thrill and seeing someones special day come to fruition provides immense joy. I am thrilled to join Lyndsey and her team and begin to impact so many couples most special day!

I am Amanda Oswalt and I was born and raised in the Midlands of South Carolina. I currently live in Batesburg, SC with my husband, Daniel, and our son, Marshall. We will soon be a family of four with another little boy on the way! Like Lyndsey, I also left my career as an elementary teacher to be a stay at home mom. This has been the greatest decision and we are thankful for such a wonderful opportunity.
Since staying home with my son, God has used this time to pull me back to my passion for art. It has been a wonderful hobby to get back into. I have been painting for as long as I can remember. It has always been a passion of mine along with anything that allows for a creative outlet. Ever since being a little girl I have been influenced by the natural beauty of our state for my art. From painting baskets filled with peaches, to the mountains of SC, or the marshes near the coast, I love the natural beauty that surrounds us. I have taken my love for nature and used it to create custom, one-of-a-kind, bridal bouquet portraits. These abstract heirloom portraits are timeless and offer so much beauty and meaning for your home. I can't wait to share my talent with you!
