I'M LYDIA
Thanks for visiting my website. I am a photographer specializing in weddings, High School Seniors and Personal Branding Photographer. My home base is Denver, Colorado but I am available for travel worldwide. I am a wife, a mom. I am a lover of life, and love anything that has nuts and chocolate. I have the cutest miniature schnauzer name Sir Chauncey.
I love to travel, nature and concerts. I love fashion but feel my best in an old pair of jeans and t-shirt. I love to laugh, dance and sing. I can't carry a tune but who cares, I will still sing and then laugh at myself. I love to travel and immerse myself in the local culture and cuisine. I would love to some day be a contestant on The Amazing Race with my husband. I think we would make an awesome team. I love to meet new people and I want to met YOU
