It’s that time of year where everything blooms overnight and the sun feels like heaven, on your skin, after a lonnnng winter. Praising the Lord for this nice weather!

These two get married in a few short weeks and I just can’t wait. Also, this powerhouse of a women, Molly, is in med school and planning a wedding at the same time. Major kudos!

I wouldn’t mind a few more receptions surrounded by sparklers (outside, of course!). But really, if you’re having an outdoor reception + late night dancing, please DO THIS. You’ll thank me later!
❤️ On another note, I always notice when life is busy I post less and vice versa, which isn’t good business practice, but is simply life. We’ve been putting in new flooring in our living room and bedroom. It turned out so so pretty! I posted before and afters in my story if you want to see.😍

Thanks for all the love yesterday on my “about me” post. This app definitely encourages self-promotion, which is the opposite of what we should be doing in this world, so I always feel a bit awkward posting images and writing promoting myself on this account, but I do believe there is a time and place for it on the occasion, so you can get to know me a bit (🙈). But I want to keep this gram about YOU. Because this page is about serving YOU and making YOU the star. 😘

I haven’t done an introduction on here in like, ever, so here it goes:
👨‍👩‍👦‍👦
I’m Lydia, I’m married to Reed and we have two little boys, Ben (3) + Will (1). We live in the country outside of Dayton.
🏡
I grew up in a tiny town in Ohio, called Farmersville. We lived in a cul-de-sac and it was a magical childhood. Think outside for 12 hours of the day in the Summer, bike rides to the gas station for candy, sledding in our backyard in the Winter, basketball in the circle when the street lights came on, etc. Like I said, pure magical.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦👧🏼👶🏻👧🏼👶🏻👧🏼👶🏻👧🏼👶🏻👧🏼
I’m 1 of 13 children, I fall right in the middle at number 7 (6 below me and 6 above me). 📷
I shot my first wedding at 15 years old. My mom sat in the parking lot in our 12 passenger van the whole time I was shooting, because I couldn’t drive and she wasn’t going to leave me there by myself. #bestmomaward
💵
We are huge Dave Ramsey Fans and own our house outright, along with a rental. I don’t say that too brag, but to say that it is possible and ANYONE can do it.
#daveramseyforlife ✝️ ✝️ ✝️ Lastly, we are Christ-followers and try to please the Lord in everything we do, especially the way we serve you. ❤️ 📚
I’d love to learn something about you?!

Could it really be...SPRING?! 🌸 Praise Jesus. We made it!

One of my favourite Spring bouquets! We are ready for some sunshine and warm weather. ☀️

I’m going to be shooting in the south a lot this year, and I’m not complaining. #southerncharm

Woot woot! Instagram is back up and running. Did anyone else start imaging all the terrible, horrible reasons why IG could’ve been down?!?! 😂 Because I totally went there. 🙋🏼‍♀️
