Enjoy some of my favorite captures during Scott and Mary Ann’s Cincinnati Ohio wedding!
Great Wolf Lodge was a fabulous location for a reception. I had never been there before but I’m so glad I had the opportunity to shoot there! The service and food were great and the wedding party and guests has a great time.

Sorry for my silence. It’s been a fun two weeks of shooting!
I figured the best way to catch you up is with some visuals:) And as you can see below…there are a TON of blog posts coming your way. 4 more weddings, families, portraits, travel, engagement. All the goods!
Wednesday the 14th was the Murphy family. This is one of my FAVORITE shots from our evening sunny-orange session.
Saturday the 17th…
An early morning session with the beautiful White family…
Then a barefoot-baby back patio shoot with the Hinkle family later that night…
Then, Monday, I hopped on a plane with my travel-crazy clients Jill & Lee for their destination engagement shoot in Washington DC. They’re both living in Columbus currently but DC holds a special place in their hearts. I can totally see why after the amazing time we had. You know me…I tried as many of the great restaurants as I could and stayed at the best B&B in the area – The Swann House. I HIGHLY recommend The Swann House, btw. Location – perfect. Management – perfect. Decor – adorable. I’m ready to go back:) Actually, it’s in the works. HUUUUGEEEE thanks to my lovely friend Cassidy for taking my call at 8 am the morning of the flight and accepting my spontaneous request to join me on the trip:) I couldn’t have done it without her. I wish you could see how opposite our planning styles are but we had a great time.
Here’s the hot couple in the city …
Shooting in Georgetown…
And lastly, I shot two more sessions Friday and Saturday. Amy & Shawn’s anniversary pics…
…and Melissa & Derek’s Engagement session.
here’s a quick peek of some faves from last night’s wedding with Leanna (our glamorous studio Hair Stylist) and Ryan’s wedding!
It has been a month….A MONTH since you last heard from me on here. I’m sorry. Really, I am. I mean to keep up – keep you posted on happenings and photoshoots. And I know you understand why I’ve been quiet but I still feel bad that I haven’t been sharing the progress with you. So here are some FAVORITE photo moments over the last 15-some days…
April kicked off with a chunk of commercial work. A loud and giggly, high-pitched-voice-chattery (that voice you use when you’re around kids and puppies), binkie dropping, cuddly, cheek-pinching, spit-up clean-up happening, ULTRA ADORABLE 4-day photoshoot with 37 kiddos…all under the age of 2. A blast. More details on that to come! Kara, our studio stylist, worked so so SO hard outfitting every child and pinning as they were running away from her. It was a fun challenge:)
Up next: a newborn-ish shoot:) Baby ABE! Love. this. face.
Then, came a photoshoot in late April filled with goodies. Cupcakes. I wanted all of them.
Then wedding season hit.
May 1 – Robyn and Rob’s simple family-filled hometown wedding. Fave pic of him carrying her across the cobblestone driveway.
May 8 – Maribeth and Taylor’s loud, fun, energetic (and HUGE) Dayton wedding! Record was set for me – 22 in the wedding party.
TO FINISH OUT MAY WEDDINGS: May 22 in Cincinnati for Mary Ann and Scott’s wedding, then headed down to Charleston SC 4 days later for Kurt and Nina’s seaside destination wedding!
Amidst all of this excitement, renovations are still being made to the studio. A designer has joined the team to help us create a fun and inspiring space to meet with all of you! We also have learned that Leanna’s (hair stylist) mom can do ANYTHING> I mean anything you ask her if she can do, the answer is always yes. It’s amazing. You’ll meet her at grand opening too:)
Here’s a peek.
Our GRAND OPENING party is right around the corner! Consider this your save-the-date but the “official” invite (blog post with pretty stuff and an email to all of you) will be going out soon!
You don’t wanna miss the goodies, tour, giveaways and more:)
That catches us up to May 8. Still more to show but I think that’s enough for now.
I’m sure I forgot something.
Oh…right…I remember one thing. If you’re wanting to book for fall, book now. Summer has a couple open dates here and there. No weekends open. Fall is slowly filling right now so if you want to get a good choice of dates, contact me soon!
ANnnnnndd…stay tuned for more fun Lottie/Lauryn Byrdy Photography giveaways:)
I’m still in Vail ….well, actually we just drove downtown denver, but I couldn’t WAIT to share a preview from today’s engagement shoot with Ryan and Katie in Vail, Colorado!
Coming soon is a little from the town…
And a little from the mountain…
I think this was the most fun shoot I have ever done. Thanks for having me out, Katie and Ryan! Can’t wait for the wedding!!! But first, more engagement pics coming to the blog for you:)
Hi friendlies.
I thought I’d give you a little heads up on my schedule for the next two weeks. I head out reeeeeaaaallly early on Sunday morning for Vail, Colorado for an engagement shoot with a lovely adventurous couple. I will have limited access to email and will checking voicemail once. When I return on Wednesday morning, I’ll be in meetings (with several of you!) until Friday and then will be in a 4 day shoot Friday April 9 at 8 am thru Tuesday April 13 at 6 pm.

Love + a love for Jeni’s Icecream means for a tasty engagement shoot on a fall day in Columbus Ohio!
He had to know it was coming. She kept holding the cone so close to his face.
Anna, YOU are beautiful.
What’s not shown here is a lovely shot of Eric mooning the camera. He’s crazy and doesn’t hold back… and I love it. Anna handles it’s beautifully. Usually a roll of the eyes. Half smile. Or FULL on laugh. Makes me that much more excited to shoot their wedding this summer:)
