Hi, I'm Lydia!
I’m a wedding & portrait photographer located in Ohio.
I’m a christian, wife, mother, and all around small-town girl.
I married my husband, Reed, in 2012. We live on a couple acres in the countryside of Dayton, Ohio. Click here to see some of our adventures.
We have three little boys Ben, Will, Noah, and a little girl, named Hope. They're our world! You'll see SO many pictures of them on our personal blog.
My journey
I started out in photography when I was 14 years old. I entered a photo contest a professional photographer was hosting, and my photo came in second place. This got my wheels turning and my interest really peeked into photography. I asked that same photographer if I could tag along with her to a couple shoots or weddings. Well, I ended up second shooting for her that entire year.
I starting booking weddings after posting some my of work on social medias and Craigslist (before it was creepy). I booked my first wedding as a 15 year old, and almost 15 years later have shot over 400+ weddings. I never imagined entering a humble photo into a contest would lead me into a full-time career that I love and that allows me to stay home with my kids.
FAVORITE SCRIPTURE
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
