I may be biased, but this family sessions one of my favorites 💕 it’s such an honor getting to capture my favorite people (and built in best friends) and their milestones over the years. From growing up, to capturing their surprise proposal, then engagement and wedding, then pregnancy announcement and now my niece’s first photo session, it’s been a joy to document my sister and brother-in-law throughout it all. Love y’all 🫶

Makayla + Justis | 10.18.25

Even with a day filled with torrential downpour and thunderstorms, and took all of it in stride and had the best attitudes, focusing on what the day was really about. There was laughter, tears, nervousness and oh so much love and joy.

They were so willing to roll with the changes and just as eager to trust the vision I had as we figured out how to get beautiful portraits and photos with the wedding party after the storms continued on.

I had a blast capturing all the love and happiness! Congratulations again and here’s to many years of happiness together!

There’s something that feels so magical when it starts to feel cooler outside and the days look golden as the leaves change 🍂

Sarah and Austin soaked up the perfect autumn weather for their October engagement session in Effingham. More photos to come later from our time at Wheat Penny Bar downtown!

Callie + Josh | 09.20.25

A little sneak peek into Callie and Josh’s beautiful Lake Sara wedding. What started as a sunny day quickly turned into rain and thunderstorms, but these two handled it with so much joy and grace.

They say rain on your wedding day is good luck, a symbol of new beginnings, cleansing, and unity, and I can’t think of anything more fitting for Callie and Josh. The way they embraced it all was such a testament to their love.

Their family and friends were incredible, so patient, supportive, and ready to celebrate big once the dance floor opened up. I feel so honored to have been part of such a heartfelt day. Wishing you both all the love in the world and congratulations again! ❤️

Jada + Mitchell

A little peek into their dreamy Mattoon session — the kind where time slows down and everything feels effortless. These two simply got to be themselves and have fun while I captured the in-between moments that tell their love story 🤍

Shoutout to for helping them create the sweetest drinks ever! Jada and Mitchell spend so much time drinking coffee at this cute café that it only felt right to incorporate it into the session!

Sessions like this remind me why I love what I do — creating images that feel true to you and last far beyond the day they’re taken. Can’t wait to share more soon!

Family vacation was the perfect time away. The salty air, sandy feet and breathtaking sunsets were the perfect little moments that filled the day with@fun and laughter and a great reset.

Of course we can’t end vacation with some family photos!

So, a little bit about us

Oh hey! It's us - Britney Walters-Chester and Lydia Heydlauff. We're photographers/videographers based out of Ames, Iowa. More importantly, however, we are two human beings who love rock climbing, jumping around at concerts, bashing on every season of The Bachelor (we secretly love it, and we know you do too), investing too much mental energy into board games, and watching videos of puppies try to walk up stairs for the first time.

We met in 2016 at the local climbing wall, and we immediately bonded over our shared love of The Office and our interest in creative work. Fast forward a bit, and we'd been working together in a marketing office for about two years! Our idea for Lavinia + Louise bounced around for a while, but it wasn't until the summer of 2018 that it finally became a reality. Our interests and talents compliment each other perfectly, making us a great fit as business partners, friends, and chefs (i.e. Britney does the baking and cooking, and Lydia does the taste-testing).

LAVINIA + LOUISE

One question we get a lot: how did you think of the name for Lavinia + Louise Creative Co.? Well, there’s a bit of a story behind it! Obviously, thinking of a name is a major step in the business-starting process. We wanted a name that represented not only the two of us, but our values, our individual personalities, and the vibe we wanted our business to have.
