Feeling like a different person in your body right now? Same. 😅

But I hadn’t updated my content since July of 2025. I’ve changed a LOT since then.

Hair growth, body changes, life shifts, and a few personality maturation changes too. From a bubbly, over the top “tackle the world and going to build an empire” girlie to a mom who still wants to grow, but less empire-esque and more strategical than before (and let’s face it, more tired. 😩😴👩🏼‍💻😂😌)

As the self-proclaimed and client supporting branding queen that I am, I knew I was going to have to face the music about this tricky little problem that was my lack of media. 🙊🙈

And let me tell you — even though I’m not feeling nearly as “myself” with some of the ways my body is different right now, I feel the COMPLETE RELIEF about having content in my pocket again.

Not last years haircut.

Not last summers workouts.

Not the bangs from three years ago, or the space buns before that.

Not the bright pinks and checkerboard that’s been me for so long, but a color palette shift that’s somehow still me (just a lil more adult.)

I don’t just see “bigger” me. I see CURRENT me. And next summer when I’ve had the chance to fully heal from birthing an entire HUMAN, I’ll have to update again because I’m sure there will have been even more shifts. It’s the nature of branding — the CORE of a personal brand — that you update as you’re going.

So if your body is a reason you are holding back from showing up on camera, in stories, in a reel, I can promise you everyone will just be excited to see YOU. 💛

Ps: I’m also more than happy to help you with fresh brand photos, and work with all your angles to get you feeling your best 😌😉

Rebuilding your 8+ year old business as a first time mom is a CHALLENGE.

I happen to like challenges — I wouldn’t be a business owner if I didn’t 😉

But this one is different than all the ones I’ve faced before.

Everything feels crucial, urgent, and the *most important.*

From feeds & diaper changes straight into client discovery calls, building booking proposals and shoot documents, to the fact that my own brand is in desperate need of a facelift… it feels like everything needed to be done yesterday.

Going from surviving postpartum to figuring out how to look presentable right out of a contact nap for a potential customer is a new hurdle that I *think* is going well? (Just don’t tell me that you can see the spit-up stain on what I thought was a fresh shirt… 😅😆)

And honestly, I’ve never been more thrilled, fired up, or obsessed with what I do. It’s just different, and that’s okay!

First time moms, what was the biggest challenge about going back to work for you, and how did you overcome it?

I used to question if I’m really “creative” like some other photographers. 🤔

When I think of my strengths, words like:
- organized
- strategic
- efficient

All come to mind. BUT… I’m also:
- energetic
- fun
- relatable

And I think all of these together CREATES creativity. 🤯

Each part of me helps me to understand what a business owner might need, envision the unique experience you’re bringing to the table, and make the content you need come to life. ✨

There’s no point being only organized or only fun if it doesn’t make an impact for your brand. You have to have both structure AND personality to show up in this industry.

So when you hire me, you ARE getting a creative. A creative who can dream and scheme with you. I can take some vague ideas for visuals and turn them into the reality you’re searching to create and build your business with.

When you hire me, you’re not just buying one strength. You’re getting a business owner who understands you, that GETS today’s marketing world, and knows how to show off your unique approach. 💪🏻😍

I’m booking for the fall, and I’d love to see YOU in front of my camera next! 📸 DM me anytime!!

🚨 new service alert! 🚨

I’m working on editing reels for some fellow business owners, and have had a MASSIVE influx of interest. Turns out, editing reels and actually *using* all that content you have stored up is the other half of the battle, not just getting the content itself 😉

Here’s who it’s perfect for:
- past branding clients who have footage I can use to edit already.
- someone who’s pretty good at taking BTS footage of them performing services, and has a bank ready to go (but just hasn’t done anything with it yet)
- photographers with a lot of photos they want to stitch together in a reel but can’t be bothered to pick 20 faves out of 500 images

$75 gets you 5 edited reels with audio suggestions. I also may get nosy and peek around your website or ask you specific questions to grab copy that fits your brand to give some more life to the edits 😌💪🏻

I can send you a link to examples that I’ve done for other clients, just send me a DM or comment reels below!! (Works if you want to repurpose to TikTok as well!)

Photographers are often invited into arguably the most intimate of settings.

✨ a family shoot with littles that require kindness, fun, and patience.

✨ a wedding filled with anticipation, hopes & dreams, tension and timeline problems, and ever changing shooting conditions.

✨ a bo***ir shoot where we are given someone’s trust in order to help them feel beautiful.

✨ a branding shoot where an investment is being made to further someone’s business.

If we aren’t able to let people in front of our camera know who’s standing behind it, it’s harder to make them comfortable. We need to know what it feels like to be on the other side, to understand the intimidation of that scary black hole staring us down, not knowing how we look or what to do with our hands.

It’s really something special to work with the incredible fellow photographers around me, and I’d love to get to work with more of you!! If you’ve been putting off some fresh headshots and content, come chat with me about this fall 💖💖

PS: I let photographer friends bring a SD card if they want to put their own edits on my shots. I know how important that cohesive work is, and I even offer a discount if you don’t *need* my edits!! 😘

Brand photos are more than just “helpful” or “trendy.”

They’re transformative. 🤯

They take you from “I think I’m doing well, and I think I might be ready to do more…” to “DOING THE DANG THING!!!!”

Whether it’s five photos or two hundred, seeing yourself as the best version of the business owner, start-up, creator, visionary, and brand leader that you are is power in your pocket.

It takes some intention, it takes some planning (things I personally help my clients with every single session!), but it’s SO IMPORTANT to show up as the person you know you can be, want to be, and most likely already are 😌

Myself and my team are booking sessions for this fall and we’d love to help you get the media you need to be a successful CEO ✨ let’s chat!!!

When a storm chaser & meteorologist ⛈️🌪️⛈️ uses her data analytic skills to help women find balance and healing in their bodies, you know EVERY detail will be looked at 🤩 meet Dr. Emily Wheeler, an absolutely radiant client of Team Lily that is revamping her personal brand, launched a podcast, and is helping change lives one woman at a time.

We were thrilled to have our team capture some brand images for her to launch with in July, and we’ll be back working with her again in September to further expand her brand gallery to have tons of media to use for the future 💖 is she not the gosh darn cutest?!

If you’re looking to have polished but relatable content to post this fall, launching a new podcast or offer, or in general need some updated images… hey!!! I’m Lily, a brand photographer here in St. Louis that is building a team to capture YOU in your element. My associates are taking sessions for me, and I’m booking shoots for myself in October and November!! Let’s talk soon, k??? 😌💕💖

A little reminder for the business owners already thinking ahead for fall 👀

I’m officially booking sessions for after September 1st!

And if investing in brand photos has been on your mind but the timing has felt hard financially, I’m offering payment plans throughout the summer so you can spread your session out over the next few months 🤍

Honestly, this is one of the BEST times to start planning ahead because by the time your session rolls around, your shoot could already be fully paid off 👏

Fall always fills quickly, especially for branding sessions, so if you’ve been wanting updated photos, BTS content, or a full brand refresh, this is your sign 😉

Brand photos don’t just make you stand out to your ideal clients, they make you stand out in your industry 💪🏻

Your photos help your online presence show more of who you are in your real life! Because you have an amazing business and your brand photos should reflect that!

Just popping back on here to reintroduce myself because this little corner of the internet has grown quite a bit lately 🤍

Hi, I’m Lily, a brand photographer for creative business owners who want photos that feel colorful, personal, strategic, and actually aligned with the heart of their brand 👏

I’m passionate about creating imagery that goes beyond “just content.” I want your photos to help tell your story, support your business practically, and make your audience feel connected to the humans behind the brand!

And in the middle of all of that, I’m also stepping into one of the sweetest new roles of my life: becoming a mama 🥹

This summer looks a little different as I spend time on maternity leave soaking in newborn snuggles, slowing down, and embracing this new season, but I’m still so excited for everything ahead creatively and for all the incredible brands I’ll be working with this fall 🍂

Whether you’ve been here for years or just found my page recently, I’m really glad you’re here ✨
