Check out this girl! Shes only two months and she can already stand up with mommys help.


Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. How cute is she?

Back again!!!

If you follow my blog you'll remember Hannah. She is a very close friend of mine, and her and her family had to move N.C. So it was very hard to see her leave. She came into town for two weeks. Its been so so so nice being able to spend time with her and catch up. We snapped a few pictures of all us girls together.(like old times). *tears* going to be sad to say good-bye again..:(


(Left to right)Hannah, Ioana, Maria, and me.


Good-byes are NEVER fun.

1 month: Gianna

Today I did Gianna's 1 month pictures. You'll be seeing alot more of her! I can't wait to start editing these.

She's won the prettiest baby award in my book!

Love these!

Adorable as usual





I love how her curls are blowing'n the wind

Ladies in disguise!

Such sweet little girls....oh wait...

They are so funny!! They go from like SERIOUS to SILLY in a blink.

Thought this was sweet

Friends..

They are so darling...

Gianna is here!

She was born at 4:25pm. She is 8 Lbs 13 ounces, and is 22 inches long. I am baby sitting the boys lol...so I will put some more on later.

Isn't she so precious


I am a very happy Aunt!

It should be illegal to be this cute!

I keep finding myself going back to Eridessa's pictures, and editing a few here and there. I can't stop looking at them.

Ok, ok, I am going back to what I need to be doing!!! lol

But she is too darn cute!

Four cute chicks + my camera...

..need I say more!

Some fun!

This afternoon we had a blast! I had the honor of meeting Tracy (PicturesByTracy)and her assistant, and got to learn alot about using lightening in my pictures. Also using the reflector. You'll never know how much effort is put into pictures, and getting the lightening just right, until you are a photographer. I know I sure didn't!!

Anways, this is the lovely model that came and posed for us!! Ok, seriously, she looks like a barbie...(Not Fair LOL)


Here's a few I grabbed for the post...

Love the lightening here





My Fav so far..



I really like this one too!

Computer hold-up

I wanted to let everyone who is waiting for previews and their sessions to be done, I am having so much computer problems, of course right when I need it to run its best it decides to crash on me:(
No worries though, I am getting it fixed today, so tomorrow I should be back in the swing of things! Yay!!

*My advice to any photographer who is looking to get a reliable computer lol, GET A MAC!!!*

I have decided on a business name. I have given it alot of thought and I have decided to go with "Lydia's HeartW♥rk". PhotographyByLydia has brought me this far, but it is time for a name that will carry me through the years in photography and I believe this will. I wanted a name that will express what photography is to me and I think it does the magic trick;)
Let me know what you think about my business name. I want to hear your comments!!!
*Special thanks to Victoria for helping me pray and decide on a business name. You the best Tory!!*

LOL I didn't want to post without a picture. Besides I wanted to show off my NEW LOGO!!!YAY!!
