Meet Izzy Lambert

Today we’d like to introduce you to Izzy Lambert. 

Hi Izzy, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Born and raised in Northern, VA. Was an art student my entire life starting with painting and drawing. In freshman year of high school, I took my first photography class beginning on film! Fell in love with the true and raw process of shooting, developing, and printing my own work. I ended up taking photography till graduation. Moved to the Nashville area in 2017 and began my photography business after doing years of medical schooling to find out a typical 9-5 just wasn’t cutting it. Had my son at the age of 20 and needed a career path that would allow me to stay home with him. Photography called me back and let me create and thrive in ways I never thought possible. I never ever thought that my true passion and love of creating art would become my full-time career. Especially finding my career path so young! Everything I do is for my son and I strive to show him every day that you can be successful chasing your dreams. 

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Becoming a full-time photographer was not a straight uphill road. The road to the success I have now was a long and bumpy one. It has taken years of trial and error to figure out what my place was in this industry. I went from being part-time just trying to see if I could even make it to fully taking the leap of becoming full-time when I was 7 months pregnant with my son. It was not easy doing sessions with a newborn. Editing takes hours with chasing a toddler around now but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I feel so successful being able to say I have built my business from the ground up on my own and support my son with it. 

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am a full-time wedding and lifestyle photographer. Everything I capture is candid, raw, and true. I am most known for my true to color/ life editing style. My goal for every photo I deliver is to make it timeless and stand against any trend. I am most proud of my creativity and way of capturing emotion in each photo. Each photo I deliver tells a story and almost is like a book you can read. I think what sets me apart from others is the quality and uniqueness of my work. Photography is a very hard form of art to stand apart in and I believe that it takes a truly talented person to put our work that speaks for itself and I do just that. 

If we knew you growing up, how would we have described you?
Growing up I was very athletic and thought outside of the box. I was always on the go, had to be moving. I also was always fascinated with all the amazing colors and views of nature. I could get lost for hours outside and never come home. Growing up I was always a very social and approachable person which seems to be such a great personality trait to have for the business I run now.
