Hello there, I'm Lydia—a proud mom to amazing girls and a passionate professional photographer. I am the gal behind the camera, teller of jokes, (that aren't always funny) lover of all things adventurous and everything sweet.

Armed with a Bachelor's in Elementary Education, my lifelong dream was teaching. However, when my daughter arrived, I wasn't ready to put her in daycare. Yet, my unwavering adoration for children steered me into specializing in children's photography. It's the enchantment of those infectious belly laughs and precious little giggles that truly captivate me.
Our family made the move to the Nashville/Mount Juliet, Tennessee area in December 2021, leaving behind sunny Florida. While some might think we're a bit crazy for swapping a tropical paradise for four distinct seasons, we were drawn to experience the beauty of change. Falling in love with this incredible town, we've reveled in exploring and discovering the captivating beauty of both Mount Juliet and Nashville.

quick facts about me

My daughters are my muse behind the lens, particularly my oldest, who ignited my deep passion for photography. It all began when I realized how quickly she was growing—it hit me hard, witnessing those precious changes unfold before my eyes. As my firstborn, I yearned to capture every fleeting moment, from her tiny toes to those adorable first curls. That desire led me to photograph almost every second. Gradually, this passion evolved into my full-time career. Now, each day, I wake up doing what I truly love!

Fun Facts

Call me crazy, but I love the cold winter season. Snow falling so gracefully from the sky and forming such beautiful star crystals on everything just makes the world look bigger, brighter and calmer.

Not to mention the beautiful shimmer that fresh snow brings. Sitting by a cozy fire in your fuzzy socks, drinking hot cocoa and watching the snow fall is so relaxing.

my favorite season

I've always been attracted to vibrant and colorful palettes. There's something about them that brings me immense joy. I enjoy crafting sets that capture the essence of little ones and their delightful personalities.

Lively & Cheerful

my design style

Candy:
I am obsessed with candy and all candy at that but if I "HAD" to pick a favorite I would choose that fluffy mouth watering Cotton Candy any day!

Fruit:
Fruit is my other obsession. Any kind of fruit, I'll eat it all! Especially apples, grapes and watermelon.

Quick tip, never leave me alone with a whole watermelon and expect to have leftovers.
