"...capture the emotion in every shot"
Lydia Smith is an extremely talented photographer. She not only can create eye catching, beautiful images, she also is able to capture the emotion in every shot. Working with Lydia is a treat as well. I always imagined our engagement photos would be stiff and posed because my fiancé and I are both awkward in front of the camera. Her bubbly personality, though, creates a such an open, fun, and stress-free environment that it allowed my fiancé and I to break out of our shells.

"she always shows up to a shoot with an untamed excitement"
Lydia has been the photographer for Killed by Kiwis since our first show in 2021. Lydia is both a talented and incredibly kind person to work with. Her compositions are excellent and her editing puts these photographs to another level. Photos come back to us with bold colors and an intense depth in the shadows that makes every picture stand out. She always shows up to the shoot with an untamed excitement. If you get the chance to work with Lydia you shouldn’t pass it up.

"fantastic job of making everyone feel welcome"
Lydia does a fantastic job of making everyone feel welcome when they come in for a shoot. She helps guide and assist in your poses but ultimately will let you lead the direction of the shoot. The warm up stretching before hand helps you feel more comfortable, especially when doing boudoir, and ready to go! She comes at every project with such compassion and grace it makes you want to come back for me. She is very body positive and helps bring out the beauty in everyone and everything.
