About Lyndie
How photography became a passion.
In the Fall of 2016, a former student asked me to create her senior portraits. Since then, other former students have asked me to create senior portraits of them. My last name means, "Eagle" in Italian, and I have grown to love taking photos of wildlife, including bald eagles, egrets, hawks, swans and other wildlife I encounter. Sometimes I go on drives and pull over to take pictures of flowers or any interesting subject.
I love to create photos.. 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. Since it is now my passion, I love sharing what I know with others through photos.
Montana Bay, my rescue Mustang
I love rescue animals. He was barely halter broke when I rescued him. I taught him all the ground skills and sent him to a professional trainer to learn to carry a rider. I have been riding since I was three. He is the 5th horse I have owned, but this has been by far the most rewarding experience I have ever had!
Bald eagles- I am proud to be an American!
Bald eagles are majestic and gorgeous! I discovered a pair of eagles on the American River bike trail in 2017 and have been photographing them since then. During COVID, I discovered I enjoyed photographing other species of wildlife as well.
