Flashbulb Memories

A highly vivid, long-lasting memory of an emotionally significant time or event.

My Approach

I specialize in home portraits that preserve your life as it is now. We include the mess and the outfit your toddler picked out. You play your family's favorite board game or listen to your daughter’s new favorite song. You hang out and enjoy the day.

My job is to be a memory preserver, because this is a feeling you never want to forget.

My favorite photos are the ones that require no fuss, no stress, just play.

This season will pass.
Some parts gently, and some all at once.

Photos aren't about perfection.

They're about remembering - how it felt to be here, with these people, in this moment of your life.

Because one day, this will matter in ways you can't yet name.

Hi, I’m Lydia!

As a mom, I know how fleeting this season can feel—how newborn snuggles melt into sleepless nights, and how the tiniest details become the most treasured memories. That’s why I’m here: to help you hold onto these moments, both in images and in the support you deserve.

With a photojournalistic eye and a heart for Mothers, I document birth, postpartum, families, and the quiet in-between with honesty and care.

And as a postpartum doula, I’m here to walk alongside you, making sure you are nourished, feel seen, and deeply supported as you settle into this new chapter.

Your story matters. Your transformation is worth remembering. I’d be honored to help you preserve it.
