Posting Caitlin + Pat’s spring engagement session from last month just in time for their wedding day tomorrow! It was a blast exploring Evansville, Indiana for little romantic places to capture their love for each other.

Shoutout to the cute ducks, geese and swans for being the perfect backdrop and for not attacking us!

Peyton’s senior session was full of small-town charm and big personality! We wandered through downtown Effingham, capturing shots in front of Chestnut Family Music, and the City Hall. Each spot adding its own vibe to the story. Then we headed out to his family’s pond, where the peaceful sunset and natural surroundings gave us the perfect ending to get out his dirt bike and 4 wheeler.

From local landmarks to laid-back country moments, Peyton’s session was a fun reflection of who he is.

It’s been a very, very long time since I’ve done this. Or maybe I’ve never done it? Either way, hi there! I’m Britney and I’m the person behind Simply Britney Studios, but you’ll often see my husband Jarrad at sessions and definitely on wedding days!

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.
