For today, I present another shoot from my archives – my first experiment with photographing indoors. All lighting here is natural.

My lovely girl Trisha moved into an exquisite vintage apartment recently and outfitted the whole place with shabby chic furniture that she found on Craigslist. The place is about the size of the shoebox, but it’s certainly the shoebox with the most character that I’ve ever seen. I got so carried away photographing the interior, that I forgot to shoot the moody hallways and urban exterior!! I guess that means that I’m due for another trip to Pasadena to finish what I started…

As always, please contact me if you want to set up a shoot! I need to fill up my calendar for the next few weeks with some interesting new faces. 🙂

Love,
Lily

This past weekend I spent a clear and breezy afternoon in Malibu with my b-school friend Carlo and his gorgeous wife Joanna. This is my first attempt at a maternity photoshoot, and I got to work with an Elle Macpherson lookalike – how lucky am I?! It was truly an honor to get to celebrate this milestone with Carlo and Joanna through photography…
As always, please contact me for a photoshoot! If you’re a model, a makeup artist, a designer, or an experienced photographer looking for an assistant, hit me up! I am aiming to do at least 1 photoshoot every 2 weeks… let’s see how long I can keep it up…

Love,

Finally, we’re moving into recent shoots! I will still post older shoots from time to time, but I am so pleased with this photoshoot from the weekend that I really couldn’t wait to share it. Originally I had wanted to capture my lovely friends Carmen and Elena on the Santa Monica Pier, but “winter” decided to come this weekend. There was so much fog that we literally couldn’t see the beach from across the street! I thought the chances for good photography would be nil, but with beautiful subjects something decent was bound to result. I hope you agree…

As always, please contact me if you’re in the mood for some creativity!! Any makeup artists and stylists that want to collaborate, I’m waiting… ^_^

Love,
Lily

Back in September, my bestie/fellow photographer Karen arranged our first engagement shoot with Amy and Mike. We spent a beautiful day with Amy and Mike in the pristine Strawberry Farms golf course in Irvine, CA, the location for the couple’s wedding later this year. We think Amy looks exactly like Lucy Liu! Do you agree?
