Hello!

My name is Lydia Middaugh and you can spell it "Lidiya" if you want :) I am 20 years old, my birthday is in November and I was born in the house that I live in, in Buckley Michigan.

I was homeschooled my whole life and graduated high school in 2022 so NMC college was my first introduction to a classroom setting.

I currently work in a restaurant at Crystal Mountain and sometime within the next year, my fiance and I plan to get married so I will be a stay-at-home wife and mother, the Lord willing.

I love music. I play the piano, the guitar, and several of other instruments and sometimes use my camera to film piano videos of me playing and post them to my YouTube channel. I also like taking photos of people and sometimes drawing them.

Hi, I’m Jennifer.

I’m originally from downstate (Owosso), and moved up here with my family almost 20 years ago.

After spending the last 20+ years raising and homeschooling my three kids, I’m excited to be earning a degree, and I look forward to what career path that will lead me on.

I’m a very curious person. I love all things creative, and I’m excited to learn the fundamentals of photography.

A dream of mine is to travel the world someday. I’ve currently only been to Canada. :(
