Looking for a travel photographer who feels more like a local friend (with a camera)? This review says it all. ✨⤵️
“We cannot recommend Local Lens and Bethina enough! She took us to both well known and little-known local spots, made us laugh and lean into our love for each other.
She helped with posing but also captured candids. She also pointed out local eats, history, and pop culture.
Of course the pictures turned out fabulous. Absolutely exceeded expectations, and a highlight of our trip!!” — Olivia & Clay
Photos that feel natural, moments that feel real, and an experience that goes beyond just taking pictures — that’s the Local Lens way.
Traveling soon and want photos that feel authentic (and fun)? Book a session with us!

Are New Year resolutions still a thing… or are we all just quietly setting goals now?
Whether you call it a resolution, an intention, or a soft reset, the new year still gives us that fresh-start energy — and the trick is making it actually stick.
Here’s how to make your New Year goals easier to achieve this time ⤵️
✨ Start small (like, really small): Big goals are great — tiny habits are what get you there.
✨ Make it visible: Write it down, set reminders, keep it somewhere you’ll see daily.
✨ Focus on progress, not perfection: Messy effort beats waiting for the “right time.”
✨ Build goals into your routine: If it fits your life, you’ll stick with it.
✨ Celebrate the little wins: Every step counts — even the quiet ones.
This year isn’t about reinventing yourself — it’s about becoming a little closer to who you want to be, one day at a time.
What’s one goal you’re bringing into this new year?
