HI, I'M LINA CANOTE
 
I’m a wedding and portrait photographer based in the Ozarks, capturing every season of life… from engagements and wedding days to growing families, maternity, and everything in-between. I serve clients in Branson, MO, Springfield, MO, and beyond throughout Southwest Missouri and North Arkansas.
My style is soft, romantic, and true to life, with an emphasis on emotion, connection, and storytelling. I want your photos to feel warm and cinematic while still feeling unmistakably you. The goal is never perfection. It’s preserving the feeling of a season of life exactly as it was.
Before stepping into photography, I spent years in the beauty industry which shaped the way I see detail, aesthetics, and human connection. Creativity has always been woven into everything I do, from beauty to photography to the cozy, art-filled life I’ve built outside of work.
When I’m not behind the camera, you can usually find me with a coffee in hand, spending time with my husband and dogs, reading, creating something cozy, or chasing inspiration in everyday life.
Whether you’re celebrating a wedding, growing your family, or simply wanting to freeze a fleeting moment in time, I’d be honored to tell your story in a way that feels honest, beautiful, and deeply personal.
