My Approach
Photography rooted in slowing time, honoring your story,
and preserving each moment in between.
I photograph the way I live: with presence, care, and a deep love for the moments that make us feel like home.
I believe
The way we make others feel matters.
Beauty can be found in the convergence of the organic and the artistic.
Even the smallest of moments matter immensely.
What I Keep Close to My Heart
-
The power in presence
In a world that moves quickly and craves the next and next, I believe in dwelling, slowing things down, and fostering presence. When this happens, the noise fades, and we can witness the beauty and the unexpected unfold in the mundane.
-
To fully know and understand you
Building a closeness and understanding with you is how I can draw out genuine and natural emotions. I want to understand the quiet threads that tie you to the people you hold closest. So when I witness them, I can help to preserve it with intention and honesty.
-
The magic that lies in those lingering moments
I believe it’s the unassuming instances that end up being the most sacred. I practice careful observance and create space for those moments to naturally show themselves. That, I believe, is where the visually elevated and the artistic combine.
Photography for
eternal return.
About LW
Welcome. I’m Lilly.
Amongst friends, I’ve been known as the observer, the one quietly taking everything in. And, of course, the one with a camera by my side. Perhaps that’s why photography has always felt like home to me.
Growing up in the Midwest, life moved at the pace of open fields and golden sunsets. That laidback rhythm shaped how I see the world, and how I approach my work today. When we work together, I aim to create a space to feel seen and at ease, like I would welcome a friend into my home. My role is to be that grounding presence every step of the way—part artist, part friend—so you can simply be.
My style is organic yet artistic. It’s honest and elevated storytelling that lets your love take center stage, whether we’re in your backyard or across the world. Film photography fuels my mission to preserve moments that are tender, timeless, and deeply felt. It invites me to slow down, to see a moment before it happens, and to create imagery with a tangible, lasting quality.
At the heart of my work is a desire to slow time and invite you to remember what truly matters. If we work together, you can expect a calm, intentional experience, and if history is any indicator, we’ll probably become fast friends along the way.

“We couldn’t possibly recommend Lilly more.”
Not only is she an incredible and talented photographer, but she was so calm and collected on our wedding day amidst all the craziness. I’m not exaggerating when I say that she saved our wedding day - she kept us on schedule when so many other little things went wrong. We knew she was a pro from the beginning, but seeing her in action on our wedding day was magic! She has such an eye for detail and her film photos will forever be some of our most favorite. We love Lilly and will hopefully use her again and again and again as our family expands!
