Lydell was fantastic! He really gets what clients want and then brings it to life. I’m not a fan of the camera, so I usually avoid it. But he creates a super relaxing atmosphere. Plus, he adds a bit of fun, like those uncomfortable poses—they were more amusing than anything. I didn’t feel rushed, and he made sure…

He really made my experience worth my while! He made my vision come to life and made me feel very comfortable. He was welcoming as well! Will be booking again. Thank you!
Lydell was fantastic! He really gets what clients want and then brings it to life. I’m not a fan of the camera, so I usually avoid it. But he creates a super relaxing atmosphere. Plus, he adds a bit of fun, like those uncomfortable poses—they were more amusing than anything. I didn’t feel rushed, and he made sure every pose or idea was perfect. Now, he’s my go-to for professional photography!
On September 19, 2026, I had the pleasure of working with Lydell again, and I felt compelled to share how beautifully he captured our most significant life milestones. From our engagement and bridal sessions to our wedding day, he maintained the utmost professionalism while remaining an absolute delight to have present. I am pleased to have found my permanent photographer, and we look forward to scheduling a Christmas session with our dog soon!
