Photography
M e m b e r s h i p s

Linnea Lenkus started her career first
in front of the camera as a fashion model
in L.A. and Europe 30 years ago modeling
for such magazines as Elle, Freundin & Vogue.

She has a Bachelor's degree
in Psychology (Magna Cum Laude)
which consequently helps her to
tap into the human connection in her sessions.

From there she headed into a career
as a commercial photographer and
has photographed ads, celebrity portraits,
and lifestyle images for many
ad agencies, companies & magazines.
She is represented by the ubiquitous
and prestigious stock agency, Stone,
which is a Getty Images subsidiary.

In 1998 she decided to switch her path and
move to the professional portrait photography world
where her commercial lighting techniques and
skills have translated well in elegant and
sophisticated photography that have made
her photo studios so popular.
She opened a portrait studio in Pasadena in 1998.
In 2004 she opened a second
portrait studio in Long Beach and
in 2007 she opened a third portrait studio in Irvine, CA.

Linnea and her husband of 16 years
are the proud parents of a precocious
7 year old son, Dexter,
and exuberant 5 year old twins, Ava & Maxwell.
When Linnea is not behind a camera she is with her children attending karate classes, swim, soccer practices,
Little League practices, dance and art classes
and visiting the many playgrounds and beaches of L.A.

How do you pronounce her name? It's easy:

This quote aptly describes this photographer:

" The truly creative mind in any field is
no more than this:

A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive.
To him... a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise,
a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy,
a friend is a lover, a lover is a god,
and failure is death.

Add to this cruelly delicate organism
the overpowering necessity
to create, create, create --
so that without the creating of
music or poetry or books or buildings or
something of meaning,
his very breath is cut off from him.

He must create, must pour out creation.
By some strange, unknown, inward urgency
he is not really alive unless he is creating. "
-Pearl S. Buck

"Please go to this page about photographers
so you can get a glimpse about how I think."
