Find your way around

Those everyday moments with your family are layered with meaning, shaped by laughter, closeness, and the love that grows deeper with time. My family photography experience is about capturing those honest, beautiful interactions — the way little hands reach for yours, shared glances, and the connection that tells your family’s story just as it is.

 Your family's journey through heartfelt photo heirlooms in your home

The Austin family Experience

Authentic • Delicate • Unscripted

preserving moments of real connection with your loved ones

My newborn photography style strives on authenticity. As such, your session will be kept simple, using few props, so your baby's true beauty remains at the heart of every image. You can expect images that are light, airy, and filled with warmth, focused on bringing out the real love and connection with your little one.

I aim to create photographs that are more than mere images on a screen. Together we'll build something lasting—beautiful photo artwork you'll be proud to pass down to your children for generations to come.

Lydia was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish! Her planning session was incredibly helpful in bringing our vision to life—she took the time to understand exactly what we were hoping for. She also offered thoughtful guidance on wardrobe and helped us consider the final images, sizing, and how they'd work in our space. And the photos? WOW. Each one is a true work of art. We can’t wait to get them up on our walls.

Lydia was amazing! My two young kids were pretty difficult and yet she still worked absolute magic and captured beautiful photos of our family! She is so kind and patient and helped us tremendously with posing. 

She was absolutely amazing to work with! She arrived right on time, kept up great communication from start to finish, and even sent helpful guidance beforehand so we knew exactly how to prep. During the session she was so patient with our kids and made everyone feel comfortable, especially those of us who don’t know how to pose.

Sara

Lydia was wonderful. She was accommodating as we had to reschedule our photo session due to illness. She not only looked for a place to take our pictures the first time, but also keep us posted on other location options as the weather changed. Have only received a sneak peek of the photos thus far, but already really excited to see how they all turned out.

FAQs AS AN AUSTIN FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

when should we book our family session?

I recommend reaching out 3-4 weeks prior to your desired session date to ensure availability. Simply fill out my contact form, and I'll be in touch!

what should we wear for our family photos?

As a mom, I know how busy life can be and finding coordinated outfits for the whole family can be quite the marathon. You're in luck! I provide all my clients with a complimentary style guide with plenty of tips and outfit inspiration for every member of the family.

do you offer extended family sessions?

Yes. My regular family sessions include up to 10 people. If you have a larger family to photograph, there will be a $35 fee for each additional person participating in the session. This covers the additional time needed to ensure we capture all of your favorite images. 

can I purchase printed products after my session?

I do! I offer a la carte artwork that is completely customizable to your needs. Because I would hate for my clients' images to be lost on the cloud, I offer multiple custom artwork options including albums, wall art, and matted prints so you can enjoy your photos to the fullest.
