About Lyndie
How photography became a passion.
My name is Lyndie Aquila and I am looking forward to working with you to create memories that will last a lifetime. I live in Folsom but photograph in the surrounding areas as far as Davis, Shingle Springs and Lincoln. I create mainly portraits of people both seniors and families but also like to photograph wildlife, landscapes and am working on growing my skill set in equine photography.
I became interested in photography in 2004 when I became the yearbook adviser of a local middle school. I have produced 17 yearbooks so far. I wanted our yearbook to be the best middle school yearbook in the area. I started taking classes and would practice taking photos of my friends, their children, and my nephew in my spare time. I purchased my own camera in 2010 and have continued to take classes to improve my craft.

Montana Bay, my rescue Mustang
I love rescue animals
Bald eagles- I am proud to be an American!
. During COVID, I discovered I enjoyed photographing other species of wildlife as well.
About Lyndie
I am an 8th grade United States history teacher.
I have been teaching middle school since the Fall of 2001. It is a very rewarding job that is never boring. History is an exciting subject. My grand mother loved history and as a child my parents would take us on vacations to learn about our nation's history.
Volunteerism
I was in Girl Scouts for 15 years and had my own Brownie troop as a high school student. I am a Chico State graduate and a proud alumni of a local sorority, Alpha Chi, that was founded in 1918 by knitting socks for service men during WWI. I was on my sorority's alumni board from 2001 until 2019. I served several terms on the HOA board when I owned a townhouse. I am passionate about giving back to the community.
49er Faithful
I have been a fan since I was a little girl. The 49ers won the first Superbowl right before my 4th birthday. My godfather was a groundskeeper at Sierra College so we would go watch their practices. I have a dedicated wall in my classroom filled with paraphernalia and my horse is named Montana after Joe Montana.
A student gave me this football and I waited in line for hours for Joe to autograph it!! It was worth the 5 hour wait.
