The Lyons Sisters: Built-In Best Friends


Picture this: built-in best friends who make every moment fun! Ava and Bailee were such a joy to have in the studio—honestly up for anything and great listeners (from my perspective, at least—I can’t speak for their parents 😉).


From the moment they walked in, it was clear these two share something overwhelmingly special. They laughed, twirled, and just genuinely enjoyed being together, which made capturing their bond truly effortless. Scroll through the picture overload and see for yourself how much these two love each other. 💗💗


Hard to believe? Here’s what happens when you ask them about their sisterhood:


✨ Ava says…

“I like how Bailee looks up to me. It makes me feel special. She’s funny and caring and sweet. I can count on her when I need someone to talk to. I love her as my sister but also as my friend”


✨ Bailee says…

“Ava is really pretty. She’s kind and can be funny. I’m really happy I have a cool older sister I can look up to. I can also tell her things I can’t tell other people, and she gives me advice. She’s, like, awesome.”


Sisters like these remind us that no matter what, partnering up with someone who’s always in your corner—through laughter, late-night talks, and life’s ups and downs—is one of the best heartfelt gifts.

Hey there! I’m Krystie, the photographer behind Krystie Nicole Photo, based in Smithfield, NC. I specialize in family, children, pet, senior, and portrait photography, capturing real moments with a bold, artistic touch. My goal? To make your session fun, relaxed, and totally YOU—because the best photos happen when you feel comfortable and confident.


I get it—kids are unpredictable, pets have their own agenda, and outfit changes don’t always go as planned. But don’t worry—that’s where I shine. Patience, humor, and rolling with the chaos are my superpowers, and I make sure every session feels effortless, even when life gets a little messy.


Clear communication, quick turnaround times, and attention to detail are all part of the experience. You’ll always know what to expect, and I work hard to deliver images that make you say, “Wow, that’s SO us.”


When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me exploring new places with my family, chasing after my two boys, or managing life with my 200-pound dog. Life is full of unscripted moments, and I love capturing them for you to cherish forever.
