About Me

Hi there! I’m Casey—the heart behind the lens and the owner of Studio Byrd Lowe. I’m a photographer, graphic designer, and mama to three of the sweetest (and wildest) little humans: Cecilia, Colette, and Wesley. My husband Brad and I are raising our crew on a little acreage just south of Lincoln, Nebraska, where there’s usually dirt on someone's shoes, snacks in the car, and laughter (or chaos) in the air.

I’ve always been drawn to the beauty in life—whether it's the texture of an old barn, the glow of golden hour, or the boldness of a perfectly placed typeface. Photography and design have been my creative outlets since I was a kid doodling in notebooks and borrowing my mom’s camera. I earned my degree in Graphic Design in 2013 and briefly worked at a marketing company in Panama, NE, before jumping full-time into photography—and never looking back.

Now, I get to do what I love every day: create meaningful, memory-filled images and eye-catching designs while juggling my own family chaos. I truly believe the little things matter—like sweet iced coffee with extra cream (no bitterness here, please), the thrill of a good thrift store find, and eating chips and salsa like it’s a food group. I love buying new things (hello, Target runs and antique mall treasure hunts), and I’m constantly balancing my love for a full life with moments of quiet whenever I can find them.

Truthfully, I have some anxiety. I can get overwhelmed at times (can’t we all?), but I’m also deeply drawn to people—new faces and old friends alike. Connection fuels me. Whether I’m photographing your wild toddlers, your high school senior, your athlete or your family gathered for the first time in years—I’m all in. I want to help you remember the way life felt, not just how it looked.

When I’m not working, I’m usually hanging with Brad and the kids, pulling weeds in my flower beds, sipping yet another iced coffee, or dreaming up new ways to make childhood magical for my little ones. We travel when we can, love showing the kids new places, and try to squeeze every bit of joy out of the everyday moments.

Losing my dad in 2015 deepened my love for photography. As the years go on, my memories have started to fade—but the photos haven't. I look at them often. They take me back. That’s the gift I hope to give my clients too—images that don’t just sit on your computer, but stir your heart every time you see them on your walls or in a frame.

My studio is located right in Firth, Nebraska—about 20 minutes south of Lincoln. It’s a cozy, rustic-meets-modern space full of warmth and charm, with both indoor and outdoor spots for capturing all kinds of beautiful moments.

You can find me at 307 Nemaha Street in Firth—doors open, camera ready, and genuinely excited to meet you.
