client testimonials

"Working with Lydia is like working with a best friend. She’s not only extremely talented, she takes the time to understand the brief so that the output is always on brand and exactly what I have envisioned every time. She makes you feel totally at ease on the shoot, and directs each shot as she goes. Without a doubt, my business would not have been nearly as successful without Lydia as the driving force behind bringing our visuals to life. Worth every penny!"

The entire experience was so much fun. Lydia creates such an easy-going, positive atmosphere, I didn't want the shoot to end."

"I absolutely loved working with Lydia ! From the moment you meet her she makes you feel relaxed and like your hanging out with a friend. She gives constant direction and makes you feel like you’re in good hands. She has such a cool way of shooting and the images are incredible. She hit the nail on the head with what I wanted and couldn’t be happier. Can’t believe what she can achieve in such little time. Highly recommend."


Lydia is not only one of the loveliest people inside and out, her creativity and professionalism is top tier. I had my first ever fashion photoshoot with Lydia and not only did she make me feel comfortable in the shoot, she helped me to feel beautiful also! The photos from the photoshoot were outstanding and I cannot thank Lydia enough for not only her kindness but her highly talented work ethic. I am so excited to shoot with Lydia again and she is all round of the most genuine, kindest, professional and loveliest photographers to ever have the pleasure of working with! 🤍


Working with Lydia was an absolute dream.
Usually both of us hate having our picture taken but Lydia made us so comfortable and relaxed; She made the shoot so much fun that we didn’t want it to end.
We needed new pictures because we have lots of exciting press opportunities coming up so we needed a range of photo’s that would be suitable for quite varying publications. Lydia helped us achieve options for all of these.
We absolutely love the final edits and can’t wait to start seeing them in national press.


"We've been working with Lydia for a couple of years now and she's great. We always end up with the most gorgeous shots and Lydia is a really fun and lovely person to work with :) We would recommend Lydia to anyone and her photos have really helped us to improve our website and social media content. Lydia is also really efficient when turning around photo edits which is super helpful and much appreciated!"


"Lydia is by far one of my favourite photographers to work with, as she makes the process fun and makes me feel so comfortable. Lydia has an amazing eye for locations, props, colours, outfits and poses that she guides me through if I get a little rigid or stuck. Honestly, I walk away from a shoot with Lydia feeling my most confident ever! I cannot recommend working with her enough."


"As soon as I came across Lydia’s work I knew I wanted to work with her for my new branding. Having never been very comfortable in front of the camera, I was nervous about the shoot. But I fell in love with Lydia instantly, she is so warm and kind and her energy is infectious. She made me feel right and home and like a goddess.

The photos are stunning and totally represent the ethos of my brand. Lydia took the time to get to know me and my company and I felt like she ‘got me’. I had so much fun and the photos were ready so quickly. Totally blown away by the whole experience- Lydia will now be my regular go-to photographer and I recommend her to everybody."
