Dear Future Client,

If we haven't met yet, my name is pronounced Lydia From-o. I know, I've got all kinds of extra letters in my spelling. I've been doing this photography thing for a while now, over six years. It's been such a cool journey. I've gotten to experience and witness many great moments in people's lives. I've met some incredible people. And I've realized how much of this life's journey is universal.

When I was 14 I started reading Leo Buscaglia. He's all about Love. Loving ourselves. Loving each other. Being kind and accepting. And I really think he shaped the way I see the world.

Upon meeting so many of my clients, I am immediately told their insecurities. They ask that I digitally shave off some poundage, a bump in their nose or only photograph them from one side. And I often laugh. Because I don't see these "issues." I see the whole person. I see a mom doing a brilliant job raising her kids. Or a talent that we all admire from the audience. 

We postpone and neglect to be in photos because we think we are the sum total of our insecurities. But the truth is, nobody in the world sees us the way we see ourselves. Grandma would love a mantle full of photos of the people she loves. She doesn't care who has gained 10 pounds, or 20. Or 50. 

My style of photography is very natural. It's just us and the camera. And we talk. And we forget about the fact that we're taking pictures. My past clients have walked away enjoying the experience. And then being happy with the results. I won't show you a photo that I don't think you look good in. It does take a leap of faith to believe your photographer. To trust that she will showcase you in the most perfect light. I know that is part of the process. I will take good care of you.

When you're ready, call me. We'll take some photos. We'll "Capture the Love" and make some memories in the process.

Until then, be good to yourself.
