  Did you follow through all of the required steps for mapping to your existing domain from the .wordpress.com blog?

  lindsayalisaphotography.com is your top level domain name. If you wanted lindsayalisaphotography.blog.com then blog.com would have to be your top level domain name. The part right before the .com is always the top level name.

  You can have blog.lindsayalisaphotography.com (blog. being a subdomain of lindsayalisaphotography.com).
