Newborn baby with parents

JOYFUL, RELAXED PHOTOS THAT SHOW YOUR CONNECTION WITH EACH OTHER. 

Family, Senior, and Newborn Photographer in North Liberty, Iowa

HI, FRIEND!

I’m here to capture your family exactly as it is.

IN ALL ITS perfect IMperfection.

I don’t stick your baby in a bucket, or force fake smiles from your kiddos. I do prompt tickle fights, tell corny jokes, and encourage kids to play, laugh, and even “misbehave” a little.

Your family doesn’t have to be perfect. Just show up and be happy being together. I’ll take care of everything else.

North Liberty Family Photographer

Hello there!

I’m Lydia, the lady at the helm of Apollo & Ivy Photography, and it’s lovely to meet you. I want to make your experience as stress-free as possible, guiding you and your family to interact with each other in ways that create authentic moments of connection and happiness. Because it doesn’t matter how awesome the photos are if all you remember is how miserable you were.

WILL WE GET ALONG LIKE PEAS AND CARROTS?

Let’s find out.

1.

You want a laid-back, enjoyable photo session where even the grumpy family members will say, “That was fun!”

2.

Your fave photos make you feel: sweet expressions, adoring gazes. The “look at the camera and smile” photo is okay… but you could take it or leave it.

3.

You don’t take yourself too seriously. Sometimes the kids eat cereal for dinner, big whoop (hey, it’s fortified).

You ready?

Yay, you’re still here! Let’s get this party started. Get the low-down on packages and pricing.

"I LOVE these pictures!!"

You did such an amazing job capturing my family. It was so nice to see genuine smiles from my kids. You are amazing at what you do.
