Photographer +Videographer of everything the light touches.

Where you are, right now, is exactly where you’re meant to be.” I had my yoga instructor tell us this in class a while back, and it’s stuck with me ever since. There’s a reason you ended up here, and whatever that reason may be, I could not be more grateful to share this moment with you. So let’s get to know each other a little better. I’ll go first.

My name is Lilia, but my friends call me Lil. You could say I’m lucky I guess. I’m lucky in the fact that ever since a young age, I have always known exactly what I wanted to be. A photographer. I remember the exact moment I fell in love with it actually. I was on vacation with my family in Gatlinburg, TN and I was about 8 or 9 years old. We were stopped at a rest stop that had this insane view of the mountains. My mom brought a disposable camera for the trip and I remember asking if I could use it to take some photos of the landscape. I still remember how it felt; to be able to capture something and save it for later. It was the fact that even though we would eventually have to go all the way back home to Ohio, I could still see those mountains anytime I wanted. I went crazy with the disposable camera the rest of the trip.

I went on to study photography in college. Although, it was only my minor at the time, since I was told my entire life that I couldn’t get a job if I only studied photography. (Hey Mr. Troyer, look at me now.) In the back of my mind though, I knew this is what I was going to end up doing for the rest of my life.

Fast forward to now and I was right. They say follow your gut. So I did. Something has always been telling me to make this my career. And I truly don’t know where I would be without it. It’s a part of my DNA. It makes me who I am. When people ask me about me, it’s the first thing I mention: "I’m a creator.”  Now photography has always been my first love, until I was introduced to video. Then it quickly became a tie for first. It touches a part of my soul I didn't even know was there.                                                                                                             

To be able to capture a moment, is to capture a memory. To freeze time, if you will. And there are so many emotions associated with those moments and memories. So many that I want to hold on to forever and ever. And that’s when you come into the picture. Want to get married in Ireland? Let me capture your moments. Your memories. Your feelings. So that you too can hold onto them forever too.
