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.
