I started this whole career shooting concerts in the ’90s. There was no photo pit. I got there early, got up front, and stayed there. My pelvis crushed against the stage, my bowling bag turned camera bag between my feet, loading film by feel and muscle memory with one elbow out in a protective stance while the crowd rocked in every direction.

That’s where I learned to see. That’s where I fell hard for photography.

At nearly 50 now, it feels pretty fun to go back and remember where it all began.

My calendar is now open for booking through December 15th - the last day I can photograph a session and have your images back before the holidays.

Availability is getting pretty limited, especially as we get closer to fall. If a date isn’t active on my booking calendar, it simply means I’m already booked that day. There isn’t a separate or hidden calendar with additional dates - everything I have available is online.

If you have extended family coming in from out of town, I may be able to accommodate sessions between December 15th and January 1st on a case-by-case basis. Please reach out to me directly about those.

If you’ve been meaning to get something on the calendar, now is probably the time.

Welcome to the scheduling page for www.lydiabrewerphotography.com Once you have chosen the date and time that works for you, please follow the instructions to sign your contract and purchase your session. Thank you!

I’ve spent more than a decade building a portfolio out of these kids under objectively terrible photographic conditions: busy backgrounds, high speed movements, manufacturing lighting - desperately trying to produce something better than what I see.

And the whole time I’m thinking:

They should see what I can do with good light.

Then they become seniors and hire me.

Here it is, here’s what I do.

Lean. Laugh. Love.

LEAN into the flowers.
LAUGH like I didn’t just tell you to laugh.
LOVE that I am absolutely shouting at you like an over-caffeinated cheerleader about how cute you look.
