Hi! I'm Lilly, a Portrait, Lifestyle, and hospital newborn photographer based in Charlotte, NC. However, I never know how to answer the question "where are you originally from," since I grew up moving back and forth from the U.S. and Brazil my entire childhood.

Photography has always been a love of mine. I am a wife to my firefighter husband Isaac and mama to our toddler, Beau, who has deepened the meaning of how precious documenting the small moments are. I run out of storage on my phone often from the amount of pictures I take of them! I started Lilly Joy Photography in 2023 as a creative outlet and something fun to do on the side. I love connecting with people and learning their unique stories while giving them memories to look back on forever.

I am introverted by nature and sentimental at heart. You can usually find me trying out latte recipes and reading on kindle, especially historical fictions! Most importantly, I am a follower of Christ. He guides me in all I do and gives my life purpose.
