WHY I CHOOSE TO
Hi there, beautiful — I’m Lynette. The heart behind the lens at Lynette Smith Photography and Boudoir by Lynette.
Yes, I’m a photographer — but I’m also a free-spirited woman, a dog mama to two lovable labs, a sunshine-chaser, an outdoor adventurer, and a total sucker for tacos and salsa. I’m a daughter, and someone who believes every woman deserves to feel seen, celebrated, and confident — exactly as she is.
My superpower? Helping women at every stage of life feel incredible in their own skin.
This work isn’t just what I do — it’s who I am. I’ve spent decades creating a space where women of all shapes, sizes, ages, and backgrounds can reconnect with their beauty, their strength, and their story. No judgment. No pressure. Just real, honest celebration.
If you’re ready to stop waiting, to show up fully, and finally see yourself the way the world already sees you — I’ve got you.
Let’s create something powerful. Something real. Something that reflects you.
I’m a woman on a mission to help others shine unapologetically — and say a firm no to anything that tries to dim their light.

AT A GLANCE
I’m a dog lover and have two labradors that are my fur kids
MY FAVORITE PLACE TO START THE DAY IS LA VIE EN BAKERY IN WENATCHEE. THEIR BLACKBERRY ITALIAN SODAS ARE A MUST!
In 2018, I founded the Ryder Safe Foundation, dedicated to educating others about the importance of dog collar safety.
I COLLECT HEART-SHAPED ROCKS AS A REMINDER THAT MY LOVED ONES ARE WATCHING OVER ME
In the summer months, I love gardening. There's something incredibly therapeutic about getting my hands dirty and watching plants grow from tiny seeds into beautiful flowers or delicious veggies.
MY FAVORITE THING TO DO AFTER HOURS OR ON THE WEEKEND IS TAKING MY BIKE OUT FOR AN ADVENTURE OR RIDING THE 10-MILE LOOP AND APPRECIATING THE BEAUTY OF THE
WENATCHEE VALLEY.
THE OREGON COAST IS MY HOME AWAY FROM HOME. THERE IS A FREEDOM I FIND WHEN I’M NEAR THE OCEAN. MY SOUL IS PEACEFUL AND MY SPIRIT IS FREE.
I love tacos! They’re a weekly must from my favorite restaurant. Every day is Taco Tuesday.
I’M PASSIONATE ABOUT MOTIVATING AND INSPIRING OTHERS ALONG THEIR JOURNEY TO HELP THEM REACH THEIR GOALS.
I live by the motto, “If your dream isn’t scary, it isn’t big enough.” It keeps me dreaming big no matter what!
"Boudoir photography enables women to regain their self-confidence because they learn to accept their bodies and value themselves after this photoshoot.
