LOW-STRESS, WALL-WORTHY PHOTOGRAPHY FOR ULTRABUSY PEOPLE.

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

HI, FRIEND!

Working with a photographer shouldn’t feel like adding a ton of tasks to your plate.
(Who has time for that anyway?)

MY SUPERPOWER IS MAKING YOUR EXPERIENCE EASY.

Let me take care of the details for you.

You don’t have to pick a location or dream up outfits out of thin air. I’ll tell you where to go, how to be, where to put your hands, where to look, what to do, and best of all, we will have FUN.

I’ve got you!

Photos don’t have to be hard. There’s a better way, and I’d love to show you.

~Lydia

Hello there!

I want to make your experience as stress-free as possible, and to create authentic photos of you and your family. You don’t have time to manage a photographer on top of everything else, so I make the process of photos easy, start to finish.

MEET LYDIA

WILL WE GET ALONG LIKE PEAS AND CARROTS?

Let’s find out.

You're busy.

As all get-out, and you need a photographer that doesn’t add to your stress, has her $**t together, and never leaves you guessing.

Posed? Meh.

Your favorite family photos aren’t traditionally posed. The “look at the camera and smile” photo is fine, but not your first pick to go on the walls.

You're laid-back.

You don’t take yourself too seriously. Sometimes the kids eat cereal for dinner, but they survive just fine (and hey, it’s fortified).

You ready?

Let’s get this party started. See the low-down on packages, pricing, and how to book your session.
