The title of this post used to be “Lydia Rachel Life Update – March 2018” since I started drafting this in March… then life got a little crazy (again) and surprise! Here we are in June already, time is flying this year, am I right? The last time I did a post like this was […]

A bit of a throwback post on the blog tonight! These photos are from nearly two years ago eek! I have been going through a whole lot of my past work (+ have been a slack blogger lately) and have found some golden nuggets that are yet to be shared with you. I thought this […]

You may remember that time Cassey (Yumi) and I hung out last year and took some photos of each other? Well, at the end of that little adventure, Cassey’s boyfriend Isaac came and joined us and I took some cute couple snaps of them! Excuse me, I shouldn’t say ‘boyfriend’ because since then it has […]

I don’t like to play favourites but… this wedding had to be one of the best of the recent Summer season.

Travel Photographer- Las Vegas to San Francisco After exploring the amazing sights at the Grand Canyon we continued on our roadtrip to our next stop- Las Vegas! What can I say? This city is on crack, it never sleeps, there is a lot to see. The bright lights are incredible but there is also a […]

I’m going to be honest and admit this blogpost has been sitting in my drafts for a long time. This is not intended to be a pity party, just an honest conversation. Sorry, it may be a long one. I often think about who I am, what I want to share and how I can […]

A beautifully elegant wedding for the blog today, with a pink dress and a ‘Downtown Abbey-like’ location. Brie and Brenton’s gorgeous wedding was held on a cloudy/rainy Spring day in Hamilton. Pulling up to Brenton’s Mum’s house, where the girls were getting ready, was like driving into the English countryside. They had worked on the […]
