Cape Cod Portrait Photographer
PICTURES THAT CAPTURE THE SPIRIT
Hi, I’m Lydia — Cape Cod portrait photographer, artist, and proud mom of two incredible girls (ages 13 and 6).
I specialize in capturing the love and connection between families, couples, high school senior, and pets! My sessions are relaxed, joy-filled, and thoughtfully designed to bring out the heart of your story. From sun-soaked beach portraits to intimate moments in your own backyard, I create images that feel like you — natural, timeless, and full of life.
Each portrait is more than a photo — it’s a legacy. I offer the highest-quality heirloom prints, albums, and wall art so you can display your memories in a way that honors their meaning for generations to come.
Photography has always felt like magic to me. The way a single image can hold emotion, tell a story, and transport you back in time — that’s the power of this work. I feel incredibly lucky to do what I love, and I’m honored every time someone steps in front of my lens and trusts me to capture their spirit.
I welcome all families and hold space for every story — including those with unique dynamics or special needs. I can’t wait to create something beautiful together — and take the best portrait of you you’ve ever seen.
“I see love, beauty, and magic all around me - in life and in people- and I try to convey that through my images.”
