Hi there! I'm lily!
I'm a 23-year-old photographer originally from Atkinson, Nebraska, and now living in Norfolk. I moved to Norfolk to attend Northeast Community College, where I wrapped up my Associate of Arts Degree (whoop, whoop!). I currently serve Northeast Nebraska and beyond!
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll likely find me sipping on an iced latte or Celcius, hanging out with my two pups, planning my next concert trip, listening to music, or sitting around with my family, friends, and fiancé. Oh, and when it’s time to put the camera down, I’m probably editing photos or brainstorming my next big step for my business!
Fun facts about me
Fall is my absolute favorite season—bring on the cozy sweaters and warm colors!
I can’t go a day without my caffeine fix (iced latte, anyone?)
I’ve been with my fiancé for 7 years, and we got engaged in May of 2024! exciting times ahead for 2026!
The Walking Dead is my favorite TV series-I've seen it from start to finish more times than I can count on two hands!
Traveling is so thrilling to me. I’m always itching to explore new places, whether near or far.
I’m 5’1” and often find myself climbing on things just to reach what I need (short girl problems).
I’m what I like to call an "introverted extrovert" I can be super outgoing, but I’m also perfectly content spending time alone.
I’m absolutely terrified of spiders, heights, and clowns (don't judge me).
I’m a sucker for a breathtaking sunrise or sunset! there’s something magical about those moments.
Why Photography?
My passion for photography began in high school, and it quickly became something much more than just a hobby.
After graduating, I got my first camera and decided to dive into my photography journey. Creativity has always been a big part of who I am, and photography gave me the perfect outlet to let that creativity flow and truly shine. There’s something magical about telling stories through images, capturing the essence of people in a way that’s beautiful and timeless. It brings me so much joy to freeze a moment in time and share it with you, knowing it will be something you’ll treasure forever.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with incredible seniors, couples, families, and brides, capturing portraits, weddings, and so much more. I’ve also been fortunate to collaborate with photographers I’ve admired for years, learning from their wisdom and creativity. Photography has allowed me to connect with the most amazing people, and I’m endlessly grateful for all the opportunities this career has brought into my life. Every shoot, every connection, and every image reminds me why I do what I do—and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me next.
What Makes Me Special?
What makes me special is that I have a unique ability to see things you might miss. I have a front-row seat to your life’s most important moments, and I’ve learned that sometimes the most beautiful images aren’t the ones you pose for, they’re the ones you don’t even know are happening.
I specialize in capturing what’s often overlooked: the quiet glance, the unspoken emotion, the fleeting moment that might otherwise go unnoticed. Whether it’s a couple holding hands during a wedding ceremony, a senior reflecting on the excitement of their next chapter, or the gentle touch of a parent comforting their child, I see stories unfolding in real time, and I capture them in a way that is intimate, raw, and personal! And when I see an opportunity for a meaningful pose or moment, I’ll offer gentle guidance to make sure you feel comfortable and natural, so that the photo feels just as genuine as the moment itself.
I don’t aim to just take a photograph, I aim to preserve the feeling of the moment, the essence of who you are. It’s about telling your story through my lens, from a perspective that’s uniquely mine. I’m not just a photographer, I’m a witness to your life’s most important chapters, and I consider it a privilege to document them!
With me, you get a memorable experience! From the time you inquire me to the time you receive your gallery and beyond, you have my full attention. It's my goal that you have the experience with me that I would want with a photographer taking my own pictures. I will make sure that your questions are answered, your needs are met, and you know I am here for you every step of the way!
There are so many amazing photographers out there, and we are all amazing in our own unique way. I'm consistently learning new things to improve my art and approach. I spend a lot of time helping you make your vision of your session or wedding experience and gallery come to life. I am 100% your biggest hype girl every step of the way-ensuring that you are taken care of, feel your most confident, and by giving you a beautiful gallery to cherish forever!
