Your story deserves to be told, and I’m here to help you share it in a way that elevates your brand and drives you toward those big business goals (because I know you’re aiming high). Let’s create something unforgettable.
MY MISSION:
TELL YOUR STORY
SAN FRANCISCO BRANDING PHOTOGRAPHER
MY WORK
About me.
Hey, creatives! I’m Lila, and I’m pretty fired up to welcome you here.
I’m a branding photographer, storyteller, visual marketing genius, adventure seeker, hockey player, laughter haver. The list goes on. But one of my favorite things is photographing people.
Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area (I love this place. So much.), I learned early on that every story deserves to be told—and told well. Whether you’re a creative entrepreneur bringing your vision to life or a business flipping the script, I’m here to tell your story in the way it deserves to be told.
When I’m not running a (very) full house of kids, dogs, and more sports gear than I’d like to discuss, I’m out there capturing the real, raw, and beautifully messy moments that make your brand unforgettable.
Here’s what you can expect to find around here:
🌼 I’ll give you your flowers. What does that mean? I’m the person who’s going to hype you up. Whether your brand is thriving, your creative vision is taking shape, or you’re grinding behind the scenes, I’ll be the first to notice—and celebrate. I see you, and I want you to know that.
📸 Professional photos + personal storytelling. I combine the art of professional photography with personal storytelling. My work isn’t just about pretty pictures—it’s about capturing who you are and what your brand stands for in a way that’s impossible to forget.
❣️ Love that knows no boundaries. My philosophy? Love is love—without rules or limitations—and I bring this belief into every story I tell.
SO HERE IS MY THESIS: YOUR STORY DESERVES TELLING.
Let’s do this. Hire me! Let’s capture the images that will show people what you love about what you do. Because that is what good marketing is all about.
WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU WORK WITH ME:
VISUAL BRANDING STATEGY
Don’t know what photos your need or how to use them? Do not worry, I’ve got you.
We will meet before your session. I will get to know your story and we will create a plan for your session. Then we will meet again after and I will give you all the keys to the kingdom on how to put your treasure trove of images to work right away.
You’ve got this! And I’m going to help you see just how easy this can be to create great content when you have unforgettable, professional, branded photographs.
PROFESSIONAL PORTRAITS
Also widely known as “head shots,” professional portraits are a must for every business. Why? Because you need them everywhere.
It is so important to have a photos of YOU throughout your marketing materials. If you are in an industry that meets with people face-to-face, it is very important for them to recognize you upon meeting. If you are in an industry where you work behind the scenes, your face allows people to connect to your brand. Showing your face makes your brand feel real and relatable. And right now that is what the world is looking for. The real.
CUSTOM STOCK PHOTOS
Custom stock photos are so powerful! Imagine having a bank of professional, branded images, that are of your space, your tools, your work.
Searching for generic stock photos gobbles up your time and energy. Not to mention it is impossible to find generic images that capture your true vibe.
Custom stock images allow every image on your site, in your feed, and at the top of your newsletters to tell a story and strengthen your brand story.
