Midwest Photographer serving Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa and beyond 

documenting madly in-love couples & carefree families 

hiiii, I'm Lydia!
A family lifestyle + wedding photographer based in Southwest Wisconsin, who's always ready to overpack a bag and hop on a plane, train, or automobile to wherever you are! 

JUST A QUICK LITTLE 'get to know the crazy gal behind the camera!'

I love all things adventure and making dang good memories!

hello there

let's be friends!

want to show that true connection; I'm not the photographer that will put you in cheesy poses and have you stare at my camera, in-fact you won't be saying 'cheese at all' and I'd prefer if you don't even look at me! WHAT, I know that sounds scary because "we're awkward and not photogenic," but I promise if you guys bring the love then I'll do the rest! 

live for the real, real; I'm not the photographer that's going to photoshop out your double chin when you're laughing your ass off because you're having such a good time! If the morning of our session you woke up a pimple I am happy to brush it out of the photos, but as for transforming your body into something it's not is absolutely not what I'm about! I want you to remember yourself exactly how you were in that stage of life when you look back on these photos in twenty years! 

are literally up for ANYTHING!
You want to climb the bluffs, jump in a pond, make some snow-angles, shotgun a beer or pop the champagne then let's freaking do it!! We'll blast music and dance in the rain and embrace the love!
LET'S FREAKING GO!!

you...

"Lydia was able to capture the authenticity of my family in a way I never knew was possible. She was incredible with getting my kids to cooperate and by the time we were done, we felt like she was there as part of the family! I 100% recommend her and am confident you will love her as much as we did!"

-Hutchison Family

How do you even begin to rate perfection?! I truly can’t say enough good things about Lydia & her work. Not only does she keep everything simple & fun. This girl will go above & beyond for you. We took our engagement pictures in the dead of winter (after having to reschedule twice due to the lovely Midwest weather).... Lyds was jumping in snowbanks & dodging heavy flakes to get the perfect shot. Not only do I love this girl inside & out...I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone!!! She’s a 15/10.

"Lydia is the best photographer to work with!!!! I was so nervous for our shoot but she made everything so fun!!! We were constantly laughing!!!! She used our personalities to make each picture unique and full of love! I cannot wait for my next shoot with her!!!"
