I have had the opportunity to explore many purposes from the Lord over the years, and I am so grateful for each experience that has led to where I am today. I was born and raised in Austin, TX where I grew up getting to volunteer at a school for students with special needs and working several jobs in childcare and afterschool facilities. I have had a love for working with children for as long as I can remember! I also did several years of modeling which sparked my interest in the art of photography. I attended college and graduated from Texas Tech University with a Bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies. I met my husband in Lubbock and we moved to the Dallas area, where we met our church family and have spent time volunteering in the children’s and teen ministries. I taught in Plano ISD in both a high school and a middle school as a Special Education teacher for several years. Six months after our second child was born, my husband and I decided that I should be a stay-at-home mama to our then 2-year-old son, and daughter. What a blessing that time was to get to spend so much time with our kiddos in their early years. However, we never thought that homeschool life would be a part of our story! Our children attended elementary school in Wylie ISD and during that time, I opened my business, Lindsey Buerger Photography. Working as a business owner and a portrait photographer, I have learned so much, I have met so many incredible people, and I have gained confidence and learned that it is so important to share our gifts that can bring joy to others with the world. During my son’s 5th grade year, the Lord started calling our family to homeschool him and boy am I so glad that we trusted Him because our children are thriving and loving learning! Our son is now in the 7th grade and our daughter is in her first year of homeschool in 5th grade. The THEO community has been such a blessing to them this year, and I am excited to get to participate as well, teaching photography. I can’t wait to meet you!
