Meet the Girl Behind the Lens
HEY THERE! I'M LYDIA!
I am so glad you found this little corner of the world!
So a little bit about me. First and foremost I am a wife and mother, these roles are what make me who I am today. Becoming a mother has been the most transformative experience and has left me forever changed. I never saw myself being a stay at home Mom, but the moment we had our first son, I knew with every fiber of my being I was being called to stay home. Before becoming a Mom, I was a special education teacher and that is how I met my now husband. Talk about motherhood changing you, we both left the education field, and now I desire to homeschool, spend every moment with my children and soak up this magical time in my life. Thats what lead me here... to photography and working in the birth world.
Photography has always been a passion of mine, from carrying around the yearbook camera at sporting events in high school to being the friend behind the camera snapping just one more photo to capture the moment. But it was after becoming a mother I found myself clinging to every second, wanting to capture every new "first" and milestone. Man, if I could bottle it all up I would. But we know we cant, so the next best thing is reliving those precious moments through photos, that tell the story of your life. I absolutely adore getting to help other Mamas capture the true essence of this season of life. We know just how fast it goes, and getting to work with families while capturing the sweetest little toes and cheesy grins, brings me so much JOY!
If you want to hear more about my heart for birth, head on over to my Doula tab! I spill my heart wide open! Working along side women in the birth world feels like such a natural extension of my heart, and I feel like God has really called me to this work.
Lastly, but most importantly. I love the Lord! He is the steady ground on which I stand. My faith has always been the largest pillar of my life, but after becoming a Mother, it is him who I turn to daily for patience, grace and wisdom! I love how perfectly he designed Motherhood, but Mamas we know we can not do it without him! He just continues to amaze and humble me with his plans!
