Hello, Greensboro!

A great opportunity came up for my sweet husband here in North Carolina, so this spring we picked up and moved from Central Florida. We're further from our family and are missing them already (try finding a babysitter in a new town when you've always used Grandma), but are settling in here and loving it so far!

Along with unpacking and trying not to get lost every time I drive to the store, I've been getting Lyra Photography set up and legal in our new state. My business license even came in the mail yesterday, so I am feeling extra excited to meet some new clients in our new home! 

Lyra Photography is open for business in NC!

'Tis (getting close to) the season...

Create holiday cards you can get excited about with photos from one of my mini sessions! And, if you want a professional quality product or are too busy to make your own, I can easily design and deliver stylish cards with your disc of photos. Photos are also super gifts, especially for the parent or grandparent set. Prints, albums, gallery canvases, and lots of other products are available at 20% off with your mini session purchase!

Let's call this my first blog post. 

I started a blog for an internship in 2009 but I was quickly discouraged from posting anything, lest I disclose proprietary information... I wouldn't have (of course!) but shutting the site down was easier than jumping through the hoops I would have needed to keep it. (My bosses totally liked the blog's design, though, so that cut down on my embarassment at the ill-fated thing.)

So when deciding what to start with here, I'm faced with tons of possibilities and all my recent shoots that are calling to be shared. Starting with my most recent shoot makes the most sense to me today, so that's what I'm doing! Aaaand I can't get over these adorable newborn cheeks, so this way I get to look at her photos for a little longer.

Leah Mae was barely four days old when I had the honor of meeting her! The latest edition to a family I've photographed before, she was as beautiful as I expected. Her momma expected her to be a little more cooperative, since she was so tiny, but I still give her a solid B+ for newborn behavior.
