Let’s craft memories that last a lifetime

Hi, I’m Lyssa,

But storytelling doesn’t end with art prints or conceptual portraits. I bring that same sense of honesty and emotion into my family photography — capturing love, laughter, and connection in a way that still feels true to my aesthetic: moody, timeless, and full of heart. I believe every image should tell a story, whether it’s deeply imaginative or beautifully ordinary.

“How wonderful to be who I am, made out of earth and water, my own thoughts, my own fingerprints — all that glorious, temporary stuff.”

-Mary Oliver

There is a small clock on the grass under the swing and trees and a cloudy sky behind her. Lyssa Benavidez Photography Elkhorn, NE Lyssab.com surrealist photography
