My photography style is a mix of candid and posed, but primarily candid-documentary style, (with some direction of course). My edit is natural, real life vibes, yet still vibrant. My number one goal though? To capture the real, raw, authentic you; the magic of you and your relationships in your favorite locations. Let's freeze feelings in time together, yeah?
i want my photos to tell a story. I want them to show you-the real you! and your real loved ones, too. I want to capture your relationships, your love, your heart and your soul-the magic that is you.
I love a good story!
I'm thrilled you stumbled upon my site. I am an NYC based photographer and mom of two little kids who is obsessed with all things art. My passion is humans and authenticity and really capturing that magic in photos. I am a big fan of humans in general, I think that everyone has an important and beautiful story to tell. I love finding beauty in the ordinary and I really really love color, laughter, light, eyes, and feelings.
I'm Lily!
I grew up in the south, lived in Utah for 8 years where I kicked off my photography career, and now live in my dream city-New York City with my little family. I love spending my time scrolling pinterest, reading primarily fantasy with a touch of memoirs, thrifting, cooking and baking, styling clothes and my home, taking film photos, trying new restaurants, and hosting when I have the time.
A little more about me.
I think glimmers tell a lot about who someone is. A glimmer is the opposite of a trigger, it's something that lights you up and brings immense joy. So here are some of mine: hammocking - rainbows - good food - art - an outfit that just makes you feel like you - floating in a pool - the sky - broadway shows -concerts - laughing with loved ones until your stomach hurts - driving through canyons - aesthetically pleasing spaces - direct sunlight - traveling - games with friends - hosting - reminiscing on old photos - picnics in perfect weather - people watching for cute moments between strangers - "i love you"s.
But what else makes me, me?!
