I thought I would say “Heyyy” and introduce myself. My name is Lydene. I am a Phoenix portrait photographer and I have absolutely no idea how my mother came up with that name. It was the late 70’s so who knows what “influenced” her. I totally just dated myself but that’s okay…I’m learning to accept my age and honestly wouldn’t want to go back to a younger me.
I started out photographing anything and everything but have been specializing in women since 2011. I struggled with self confidence growing up and always tried to fit society’s idea of beauty. To be honest, it’s still a struggle somedays but working with so many women over the years has helped in so many ways. Seeing women of all ages and shapes come to me feeling nervous and uncomfortable at the start of their session and leaving confident and feeling beautiful is an incredible feeling. I always say my passion is helping women feel empowered and confident but in reality, they help me feel more empowered and confident too.
If you can relate, drop a comment below and say Hello! The more us women realize we aren’t alone, the stronger we will be!
