Meet Your Founder & Photo Coach

*Lyn leads a photo walk in Washington, DC.*

Hi, I’m Lyn Morton — your host, photo coach, and community leader.

*In 2025, I celebrated my 17th year as a Meetup Organizer.*

I’ve spent my life behind the lens — from Army photojournalist to PR and marketing director to full-time photographer and educator. I started Shutterbug Life 17 years ago to make photographer friends, and it’s grown into a thriving online community where we learn, share, and grow together.

Here’s what I’ve learned along the way. We learn , create, and connect so much better when we do it together. Join our Virtual Camera Club and see what it does for your photography and for you!
