Timeless Portraits for Every Generation: From Moments to Heirlooms

Hi, I’m Lydia Leclair — a Cape Cod family photographer who believes in capturing the heart of your family’s unique story. When you look at your portraits, I want you to feel more than nostalgia; I want you to feel the love, connection, and joy of this season of life.

Every family has a story, and I’m here to help you tell yours. With the natural beauty of Cape Cod as our backdrop, we’ll create images that aren’t just beautiful — they’re meaningful. These portraits are meant to be passed down, displayed proudly on your walls, and cherished for generations to come.

I’m all about combining classed posed portraits with lifestyle and documentary images. Don’t worry… I’ll guide your family with ease, keeping things playful, natural, and authentic. My goal is to capture your family’s essence — the in-between moments, the laughter, the quiet connections — and turn them into art.

Our session is about more than photos; it’s about giving you a lasting reminder of the people you love most. Whether it’s an extended family gathering or a sunset stroll on the beach, every moment we capture together will be thoughtfully curated to reflect your family’s unique bond.

If you’re ready to turn this moment into a legacy, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s create something timeless together — something that will make you smile every time you walk past it on your wall.

My approach to portrait photography—

 

Family portrait sessions in Cape Cod are fun and easy, and catered toward your family. All members are included in the session fee, and during our time together we capture any and all poses and groupings, along with lifestyle and documentary images.

I am there for you every step of the way choosing the best location and time of day, deciding on what to wear, making you look your best during the session, walking through your images with you after the session, and selecting the best products to display and preserve your memories.

Turnaround time is as early as the following day and we can either meet at my portrait studio in Harwich Port, or set up a remote Zoom session to go through everything together. You can pick up your art at my professional photography studio, or have everything shipping directly to you!
