I did a boudoir shoot with Lily four years ago, and she came highly recommended by a friend. My shoot was amazing, and my experience was unspeakable. I recently reached out to Lily again for some professional head shots. She is fantastic to work with. I love her warm and easy going style. She makes you feel comfortable and at ease. Most importantly is her artistic eye for an amazing shot. These unique qualities of hers definitely cannot be replaced by AI. I would highly recommend her to anyone. read more

I did a boudoir shoot with Lily and can't recommend her more! She did a great job of making me feel comfortable, and is really helpful by actually showing you how to do poses. Her set is also perfect with a classy feel and amazing lighting. I was drawn to her soft, romantic photography style and love the results. Thank you, Lily! read more

Lily has the patience and kindness, not to mention exceptional photo shoot skills that make her THE BEST choice for a classy and comfortable boudoir experience! From start to end, a superb experience. Boudoir photos was such an overwhelming goal for me as I'm in my late 40's and very shy, but Lily made me feel comfortable from my very first email to her almost a whole year before my wedding. I'll be honest that I kept shopping around for other photographers, but I kept coming back to Lily because of her classy style and professionalism. Lucky for me, she ran a White Sheet promotion which included hair, makeup, and 1 digital photo. One picture and one outfit seemed a lot less overwhelming, so I booked her. When the day finally came, I had only had 2 hours of sleep from wedding stress, and I dumped a whole bunch of stories on her as soon as I saw her. She was so kind. I didn't know my head from my tail, and felt so foggy and slow. Her makeup & hair artist Joey took great care of me, asked me some questions, and gave me a natural look. Then Lily took the lead and gently directed me as she saw fit, all while making me feel incredibly comfortable around her. To be honest, the whole session was a blur, but I know she took a bunch of pics. I told myself that if I get one good pic that'll be a miracle. Well, when I saw my pics 2 weeks later I couldn't believe how incredibly sexy and good I looked!! I don't know who she took pics of because that was not me. No way, was I ever going to look that good again so I went over my budget in multiples because it was impossible to choose just 1 photo. I ended up with 10 very hard to choose from photos in a printed album which I'm so happy I did because there is something extra in printed photos that you don't get with online pics. It was worth every penny. When I asked my very old-fashioned new husband to write Lily a review, he wrote: "Dear XXX Photographer, WOW! Nuff said." Book Lily now. read more

I cannot even begin to thank her enough for the incredible experience I had during my first boudoir photo shoot! She was super prompt in her responses to my inquiry, was super informative in what to expect and how to prepare for my shoot, and is just such a lovely person to be around. I told her in my email that I was super nervous and that I have had issues with body image in the past. I also wasn't super comfortable wearing lingerie (mostly because of some lingering body dysmorphia) and wasn't sure what to wear during my shoot. She gave me some options and reassured me that they would all look great. On the day of the shoot, her phenomenal makeup artist did my hair & makeup and we got right into the photo shoot. Immediately, I was put at ease by Lily's calming demeanor and positive attitude. Before I knew it, I felt like a vixen goddess and had no problems posing in whatever outfit I put on. Her guidance in posing/positioning were so helpful and she made sure I was always comfortable and at ease. She had such a generous spirit and it made for such a successful day! We met up yesterday to select my photos and WOW! Her work is really incredible and she has such a great eye for angles that make her clients look their best! It will be really difficult to hide the book from my fiancé, but I know he will love it when I give it to him as his groom's gift for our upcoming wedding. I cannot say enough positive things about Lily's talent and generosity. I will absolutely be booking her for all the future photo shoots I might need--anniversary, hopefully maternity/family photos, all the things! She is incredible, BOOK HER TODAY! Thank you for everything, Lily! read more

Best decision I made in my life! After one baby, I finally gathered the courage to take boudoir photos as a gift for my husband for our wedding anniversary. I have to say I wasn't the most confident person about my body, but I decided to take the plunge! And I'm glad I did!!! Well worth it! I love Lily's style of photography, which is soft, romantic, which suits my personality and looks better. It was super at ease that I wasn't shy at all! It was such a fun session. 2 weeks later, we got to view the photos, and I loved so many that it was hard to only pick 15! Afterwards, it was sent to print and few weeks later I got the album!! I absolutely loved it so much that after I gifted it to my husband ( who absolutely loved the photos because it was more of what he likes-feminine, flirty, romantic instead the typically victoria secret bombshells) I asked if I can have it back for keepsake:p He said no, but hey good thing we live together, so I can easily look at the album! read more

Lily was gracious enough to turn my maternity boudoir shoot into an outdoor family shoot. While I'm a bit sad I didn't get to capture my maternity bump with Lily (thanks covid), we couldn't be more thrilled with the way the photos turned out! We hope to continue working with Lily to photograph our family moments! read more

I wanted to commemorate somewhat of a new beginning in my life. I had always wanted to do boudoir, so I decided there was no better time to mark this "rebirth" than right now. I found Lily and I fell in love with her work. From my first interaction with her, Lily was super sweet, responsive, and told me exactly what to expect. Aside from her stunning work, I also chose Lily because of her home studio - she staged a room for photo shoots which is the ultimate blend of feminine and sexy...pink pinstripes, white fur bed cover, antique rotary phone, delicate lighting...it was perfect. I showed up to her place, was warmly greeted by her friend & makeup artist Penney Do, and I proceeded to get dolled up while listening to music. We chatted and laughed, and slowly, my nerves went away. When my hair and makeup were done, Lily helped me pick the perfect accessories and shoes. I ended up going with HER collection rather than what I brought! The photo shoot itself was an amazing experience. My cousin was in the room which helped me feel even more comfortable. Lily directed me with the patience and vision of a true professional. By the end of it, I was sad it was over. A few days later, she reached out to me to choose my favorite pics and approve my photobook layout - my final Little Black Book came in the mail a few weeks later. My photos came out pretty amazing, if I say so myself : ) She had a knack for emphasizing certain body parts and distracting from others (that I didn't want to emphasize). And she takes into account what you are comfortable showing/not showing. I absolutely loved working with Lily and I'm so glad I did this for myself! read more

See all

Literally the best decision in capturing my maternity moments in a sexy, but subtle, and classy way. I am blown away by Lily's talent and crafts-woman-ship! I had a difficult birthing experience and am already looking at these images as a beautiful reminder to myself of what our bodies go through and simply how beautiful these moments are! I gifted the booklet to my husband, and he is blushingly amazed and equally in love with these timeless images. We will forever cherish these!! And hopefully, will feature a few more as art pieces in our bedroom. Thank you Lily for making me feel comfortable and confident, despite my reservations. You are a rock star! And I am so thankful I found you!! read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Lily. I did a boudoir session with Lily as a wedding anniversary gift to my husband and had the best experience. I had so much anxiety the days leading up to the shoot because I'm very conservative and shy, but as soon as I met Lily I felt comfortable and at ease right away. Not only was she down to earth and friendly, but she did a really great job of telling me what kind of poses were flattering/not flattering and directed the shoot well. While we were shooting I also found out that her husband is her high school sweetheart too, just like me, which made it that much easier to relate to her. :) Once the session was over, Lily was amazingly quick at getting the proofs and album drafts back to me via e-mail. She was so responsive and always open to suggestions. We went through about 16-17 drafts and I really appreciate her patience with my nitpickiness. It only took a month from the shoot to bet the final album from her, which I think is a pretty quick turn around time. In the end, I was beyond pleased with the final product and my husband loved it too! I would highly recommend Lily for your boudoir shoot if you want to give your significant other a unique gift that is tastefully done. read more

Loved Lily so much! I expressed how nervous I was before we started and she explained what she was going to do to help me. She walked me through everything, made me feel like we were close, which made me more comfortable. I highly recommend her! read more

I did a maternity boudoir session with Lily and I was beyond thrilled with how everything went and turned out. The vibe was exactly what I wanted. I hoped for light, bright and romantic. She knew exactly what I was going for and it was so hard to narrow down which photos I wanted in my album. She made me feel so comfortable as well. She's easy to talk to and helped me get the images I was hoping for! I can't recommend her enough. Even if you're on the fence about booking a session I thoroughly encourage you to just do it, you won't regret it. Joey did my hair and make up as well and she was fantastic. read more

I had found Lily on Yelp because I was looking to do a tasteful, sexy photoshoot. I emailed her and she was very quick to respond and answered every question I had. I felt as if I was asking a million questions (This was my first time doing any type of portraits since high school) but she simply answered them and was very kind and supportive. I was doing this shoot for myself because I recently had gone through a break-up and wanted to do something for myself. I was extremely nervous prior to the shoot but Lily guided me every step of the way and give pointers to produce the best outcome. I arrived the day of with my hair and make-up done and had multiple outfits with no jewlery :/ . Lily helped me go through the outfits and pick the best ones and even accesorized them with the selection of fabulous jewlery she has. I chose to do my photo shoot at her studio location because I loved the look of the room with the soft natural light. She is extremely professional and made me feel comfortable within a few minutes of first shooting. She is good at giving direction and then lets you take it from there once you get the groove of it. I am extremely proud and happy with my photos. Lily did an excellent job and I recommend her to anyone who is looking to do this, whether for yourself or as a gift to s significant other. She is also very flexible in finding a package that suits your needs, which is awesome for someone like me who was unsure what I wanted! read more

I hired Lily in December of 2011 to do a maternity boudior session for both myself because I've never felt more beautiful in my life than while I've been pregnant. And as a gift for my husband who is in the army and leaves often to have something to take with him. Lily was so fast at accommodating me as my due date was quickly approaching. She was able to do my shoot one week after I contacted her. She made me feel so comfortable and gave great direction to someone like me who rarely ever steps foot in front of a camera. Her boudior room is gorgeous and the perfect setting to get amazing pictures in such a comfortable atmosphere. I originally only ordered a small book with only 10 pictures but after receiving the proofs... I was speechless! I could not believe it was actually me in the pictures! And out of the 50 or so pictures there was no way I could only choose 10 so I upgraded to a book that was larger and would allow for a bigger selection of photos. When I finally received the book I couldn't believe my eyes. Beyond worth every penny! It is absolutely stunning and my husband was in love with it from the second he opened it. I am so thankful I found Lily And that she was able to capture such beautiful photos of such an important time in my life. I can't wait to look back at these photos when we are older and see what a hot baby mama I was :) Thank you Lily!!!!! read more

I hired Lily over the summer to be my photographer for an extra special gift for my boyfriend's birthday, as well as an anniversary gift for both of us to enjoy..... what a great gift idea by the way! He absolutely loved the photos, but I think I enjoyed the whole process more. Women typically don't do things like this for themselves, but this is something everyone woman should do. I splurged a little and got the most decadent package there was, just as a little extra treat for myself since he would be getting all the goodies.... From the beginning Lily was wonderful to work with, and amazingly understanding of everything I wanted & more, she made me feel so comfortable and elegant that it truly shone through in the pictures. Her femininity and calming nature really helped settle my nerves, that or it was the champagne & strawberries. :) The book is fantastic and will last a lifetime (I'll still look great when the grandkids find it snooping 20 years from now). After all was said and done, it gave me a new sense of confidence, as well as made me feel like a sexy Maxim model. Ooooo La La Ever since my shoot I've been bragging to my friends about how amazing it was.... thanks for everything Lily, I couldn't have made it as exciting an anniversary as it was without your help! read more

First, I will say for being a one-woman show Lily does an amazing job. She has her own studio which is beautifully decorated and included with the cost of your package. She is quick to answer emails and frequently updates her elegantly designed website and blog. She even has a photo shoot preparation guide online for her clients. Her retainer is done through Square Market and she uses Pixieset to send your final images to you. I personally appreciate her tech-savvy in this regard. I'd also like to emphasize that Lily is an extremely talented photographer. Before hiring her, I did my research and scoured the internet to find great boudoir photographers in the Bay Area. I perused hundreds of reviews and photos. As other clients have mentioned, Lily's style is very feminine, flirty, romantic, and classy. Basically, the opposite of tacky, which unfortunately is how some boudoir pictures can look. She is wonderful at capturing candid moments, and uses natural lighting expertly. I was thrilled with the end product. And last but not least, she has a great personality. Undoubtedly, this is important when choosing a photographer for such an intimate setting. She is calm, focused, and professional. I didn't feel rushed when I was with her. She gives you direction on poses without being pushy, but allows you room to "free style" as well. Since I have done another shoot as a vintage pin-up before, there were some aspects of the photo selection process that stood out to me because I had something to compare it to. For example, Lily prepares a fixed number of finished photos first and then asks you to choose from them. Obviously this is different from asking you to select which proofs you'd like for touch-up. She also sits down with you to go over your photos for final selection as opposed to sending you a gallery to view on your own. So photographers will have different artistic approaches to these sorts of things, and this is something to keep in mind. At the end of the day, I would not just recommend Lily, I would also sign up to do another boudoir shoot with her again! It was a lot of fun. Thanks again! read more

I found Lily about a year ago at a time when I needed a major pick-me-up. She explained the whole shoot, what I should wear, what I should expect, etc. through emails before my shoot. During the shoot, I was very comfortable with her directions. I loved the music she played and her laid back but professional attitude. I absolutely love the photos! I will definitely book another shoot with her again! read more

I fell in love with Lily's work. She truly is an artist and made me feel so comfortable about what I was looking to do. Upon initial meeting, she is warm, welcoming, and I felt like I could trust her right away. When I met her I felt like I've known her for a long time. She is such a sweet person and is so easy to talk to. She explained all my options as far as what I was looking for and had a lot of examples to show me. She was readily available through text/email to help me with outfit choices and everything in between. Not only is Lily such a great person, she makes you feel so comfortable and does such great work. She cares about all her clients and I feel all her clients come out happy with the results of her work, including me! I would definitely go back to Lily the next time I want to do another photoshoot :) If you are thinking about doing a boudoir shoot in the bay area, check out Lily! She has a room that is just for boudoir shoots with lots of accessories and props and not a lot of photographers have this for their clients. She also has lots of outfit choices if her clients need more options which i think is great! read more

Lily is AMAZING!!! I researched a lot of boudoir photographers in the bay area and Lily's photos were by far the best. Her style is soft, sexy, and sophisticated. She has a wonderful eye! I did the photo shoot for my husband for our 1st wedding anniversary. It turned out that it was just as much a gift for me as for him! It gave me a huge confident boost. Lily is really professional and sweet. She is very quick to reply to emails. I did my shoot at a hotel in SF and she arrived on time with sample books and a bunch of necklaces to use. She made me feel super comfortable and showed me exactly what poses to get into. The photos came out amazing! She works very quickly and I got to see the pics online in a weeks time. My book came in about 3 or 4 weeks later and it turned out so well. The quality is great. The book came in a beautiful fabric cover that I wasn't expecting, with a little note from Lily. It made it so cute and special! My husband's eyeballs practically popped out of his head when he saw it! He said it was the best gift he had ever received. :) I am so glad I got the courage to do this shoot. Lily made it an incredible experience! read more

In my vein of reviewing wedding-type vendors, I wanted to review Boudoir by Lily. One of my best friends got married last year and decided to do a boudoir shoot with Lily. I accompanied for moral support. I was very impressed with Lily's studio (beautiful, romantic, with the right amount of classy ooh-la-la details) and even more impressed with Lily's professional demeanor. My friend can be shy, but Lily was calming, had great posing tips (who knew there were so many ways to seductively contort one's body?) and most of all, patient! My friend knew what she wanted and didn't want and Lily worked within her boundaries while encouraging other ideas that ended up with amazing results! Speaking of amazing results, the final album was a masterpiece! Tastefully done and truly timeless - sumptuous images with the right amount of lighting, shading and brightness where needed. read more

From the first email contact to the ultimate package Lily sent me in the mail with a personalized thank you card, Lily was a pleasure to work with. Her communication skills and professionalism were outstanding! My vision was sultry black & white photos with natural lighting. Upon much research, I felt that Lily's photos on her blog were by far the best in the area. I'm a little shy on camera and was hesitant about going through with the boudoir photo shoot but I'm so glad that I followed through. Lily made me feel completely at ease throughout the shoot by chatting with me while she directed poses and advised on what lighting and movement will look good. Being brand new to any type of shoot, this made me feel confident and comfortable. Her studio is tastefully done with all the props you will need. She even let me borrow some pearl necklaces to complete my look! I chose the 'little black book' package that came with 10 touched up photos. I liked how discrete it looked and wanted to surprise my special someone for Valentines Day. Lily was diligent about following up after the photo shoot so I can select the photos I liked in order to have them done before the agreed date. I couldn't be happier about the results!! This was such a great experience and I can't thank Lily enough. read more

Lily is an amazing boudoir photographer. She works with the natural light which makes her photos light and romantic. Deciding to do my boudoir shoot with her was a great decision. My husband loves the photos too! I highly recommend her for her skills behind the camera as well as her warm, easy going personality which made the shoot very easy and comfortable. read more

If you're looking for tasteful and elegant boudoir photos, Lily is your go to photographer. Her work says it all (go and see her blog). Along with her wonderful studio, the natural lighting and Lily's ability to make her clients feel at ease, her work is a step above the rest. In addition to her talent, Lily is very responsive and delivers when she promises. Trust me, there are no other photographers in the Bay Area who produces this unique style of boudoir photography. Gift yourself or someone special one-of-a-kind photos by Lily! read more

Boudoir by Lily - Softly blurred, light and elegant photography done gracefully and tastefully by Boudoir by Lily (makeup by Shirrell Beauty). - Photographers Near Me - Burlingame, California

Boudoir by Lily is a small bubbly studio with shaded windows for natural sunlight to shine through. Although the space is small, she is still able to make it seem like you're in a huge space. And there's a heater for when you're nakie and cold! I recently did a shoot with Lily and it was easy for me to confide in her because of her artistry and professionalism. It was easy to talk & relate to her. She'll work according to your style & personality, and not make you do anything you wouldn't want to, which is exactly what makes a customer satisfied with the product. Unlike most boudoir photos I've researched, Lily's photos are light & picturesque--appropriate enough to place into my future new home. For 5'1'' stumpy, broad shoulder, big-calved, muscular little ol' me, Lily knows exactly the poses and sections of my body to emphasize to look & feel confident, feminine, romantic, classy, & elegant--without the photo coming off as forced and naughty. She made my supple breasts look like I had something! There is a certain level of class & caliber when it comes to what Lily chooses to be your best. I am totally not embarrassed to show my friends what she's captured. In fact, one of them says it's "very magazine-like!" Truth be told, I had never gotten my full face make-upized, my hair done professionally (a manicure, pedicure, or massage), nonetheless ever done a boudoir shoot in my life! This was a big step for me. I felt like this was my initiation into womanhood. Both Jane from The Glamourist and Lily can transform any aged woman into a beautiful minimalist. Definitely my style of work. I commend Lily for being one a kind in the Bay Area boudoir industry. I'm honored to get to work with her. Come to her for natural-looking sensual portraits. My tip for long, petite, ladies without too many curves, definitely practice your arches a few days before your shoot. Holding those arches are killer ! And make sure you have your makeup and hair done (manicure and pedicure, too, those are nice :)). Lily is very into curls with volume, and lip gloss. It does make the difference. She has some great makeup artist recommendations as well, just ask :) And as always, la toilette is always the last of my posts in my Yelp reviews. La toilette is accessible! read more

Lily is amazing, her photos are beautiful and make you feel like a model! If you are nervous about getting boudoir photos done, she is so personable and fun, will put you at easy and walk you through the whole thing. The Welcome Magazine on her website reviews step by step how to get ready for your session, extremely helpful. The album is gorgeous and it was an awesome surprise present for my husband on our wedding day. I had a destination wedding and was short on time, she hand delivered the album! She goes above and beyond to make sure her clients have a fun time, love their photos and album! Great experience from the beginning to the end! Thank you so much! read more

I hired Lily to do a budoir shoot as a gift to my boyfriend for Valentine's Day. At first, I was a little nervous, but Lily made it fun and not awkward at all. She puts on fun music to pump you up and get you in the mood. She is also very professional and experienced--she knows which poses will flatter your body type the most, which outfit will go best with the props/background, but above all, she makes you feel beautiful. She also has a variety of products you can choose from--photo albums, prints, etc. My boyfriend was pleased...and so was I! =) read more

I took my first boudoir session with Lily a few months ago and it was such a amazing experience that I would recommend for any female! It is so EMPOWERING! Although this would be a great gift for the husband to be or boyfriend, I did this session as a gift to myself....every female needs a reminder that they are beautiful as they are and these pictures are reminders to myself. I was really nervous in the beginning of the session (as I have never done anything like this before) but Lily made it really relaxing and fun. She had on great music and really helped ease me into getting comfortable with the camera. Not once did I feel rushed. She was extremely patient and was open to hearing my suggestions for ideas that I had. But on top of that, she also had a great creative eye for details and poses which definitely showed her expertise boudoir shooting. After the session, I recieved my proofs quickly and was EXTREMELY happy with them! They looked amazing, amazing, amazing and i would recommend Lily to anyone! This was one experience I had no regrets about! I would be more than happy to chat with anyone in doubt if they had any questions! Thanks lily for doing such a fabulous job!!! read more

Lily is awesome! I've been searching around for a boudoir photographer but Lily's work was the only one that stood out and caught my eye. As you can see in the photos on her page, her work is AMAZING and am so glad I had the session with her. She made me feel comfortable in my own skin-- even though I was nervous as heck arriving to her studio! I had some trouble areas I wish not to emphasize LOL but she knew all the right poses to make me look flawless. She has a gorgeous studio that provides perfect lighting too. I paid for one of her packages and also ended up purchasing an additional album to keep for memories! read more

I worked with Lily for a boudoir session as a wedding present for my fiance. It took me months to gather the courage to finally write an email to potential photographers because I was not fully comfortable with the idea of having the photographs taken of me. Unfortunately I had postponed the email so long that not all the photographers were able to find time in their schedule to accommodate me. ENTER LILY! Pre-Session: Lily was super responsive with my emails and worked with me every step of the way and even offered to let me build my own photography package if that was what I wanted. She was able to schedule me right away and gave me several options that would still allow me to have the final book ready by my wedding. During the Session: Lily made me feel extremely comfortable. The session took place at her own home studio. She allowed me to bring my friend with me for my own comfort and even they fell in love with how friendly and professional Lily was. (Not to mention that she has the most adorable dog!!!) The session went by very quickly and I never once felt self conscience. I don't even like being in a swim suit and so my level of comfort even surprised myself. Post-Session: Lily delivered the photobook exactly as promised before my wedding. She worked super quickly to let me view the prints. Once I selected the photographs she made the edits and we worked together to crop and format the book. ALL WITHIN A WEEK! Her email responses were quick, friendly and responsive. There were a few times we had to go and recrop the same photograph because I was getting picky and she worked with me to find the perfect positioning. I couldn't have been happier. One of the photographs I selected didn't make it into the book and as an extra surprise, Lily threw it an extra print for me. It was wonderfully sweet of her. I was very happy with my experience and several of my friends have been inspired to do their own. I handed over the information for Lily and now they have to find the courage to write the email... it was the hardest part of the whole process! Everything after was super easy and wonderful. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again!!! read more

Lily had a promotional offer for Valentines Day and I decided to take advantage of it. It's my first time doing a boudoir shoot, so I didn't really know what to expect and was a bit nervous. It's not easy being half naked in front of a camera, but Lily really did well in calming my nerves. Prior to the shoot, she emailed me some information about the shoot, what to expect, and some dos and don'ts. I found that to be extremely helpful. She responded to emails promptly and was very willing to address any questions or concerns. I got to my shoot on time and was greeted with a warm welcome. I got my hair and makeup done by Jane (she's AWESOME!!!), changed into my first outfit, and was ready for showtime! Lily knew I was nervous, so she started off slow with simple poses and eased me into things. Overall, the shoot was a success and it turned out to be really fun! I am really impressed with the level of professionalism and the quality of the work. I highly recommend Boudoir by Lily. I wish Lily the best of luck and continued success with her business! read more

I wanted to do a boudoir shoot as a wedding gift to my husband and was initially going to be done by a close friend but the plans fell through so here i was searching yelp for an affordable boudoir package and found Lily. She is very professional and easy to work with. Very prompt with her email communications and gave great advise and directions during the shoot. I absolutely love the outcome of my boudoir album. I originally purchase the diva 1 package but had to upgrade to more photos since it was so hard to choose from all the great shots! I wanted to buy them all coz I didn't know how she made me look that good in the photos. My husband is of course stunned by the whole concept and is in love with it as well. I love how surprised he was on our wedding day. I highly recommend Lily for a tasteful boudoir shoot, and her studio in burlingame looks nice and has lots of natural light which makes great photos. Thank you again lily, i'm trying to get my friends to do the shoot as well. read more

Oh how do I even start?! She is soooo amazing!!! Lily is fun to work with and so good at what she does. I was hesitant at first but she made me feel at ease once we started shooting. All the photos turned out really great and it was such a great decision to have chosen her to do my Budoir. It's such a great experience and I'm glad it was captured by such a great photographer. read more

Lily is fantastic from the moment you inquire to the final product. Every single interaction with Lily was an amazing experience and I could not be happier with the photos. Her approach is very professional and she is a master of her craft. She is so easy to work with and cares about ensuring that you get what you are looking for from the experience. She is fun, has great taste and makes you feel at ease. She also has a ton of resources to help you prep for a good shoot - her website is incredible and her studio has everything that you need to make the experience beautiful. I am already thinking of coming up with another occasion for a photo shoot =) Highly recommend! read more

I took my Boudoir session as a gift to my husband to be. Lily did such a wonderful job and I recommended her to all my friends also. If I were to do it again, I would in a heartbeat. It's not only a great gift for your significant other, but a great gift for yourself. Lily made it comfortable and made sure I was relaxed. She also brought music with her, which made it even more fun! She gave suggestions on how to pose and which outfits was most flattering to the body too! Weeks before the shoot she would send out emails to remind me and also find out if anything was needed on her end. After the session, I received my proofs 2 days after. I was so happy with them! From the appointment, proofs, and album everything was received so quick! And I can't tell you how much fun I had. read more

Lily is great! Very professional. I really enjoyed shooting with her. She was great in communicating with me in a timely manner I really felt taken care of with all my needs and requests. Her studio is very cute lots of options and she's great with showing you how to pose if you don't know. My pics turned out exactly how I wanted and I will definitely be shooting with her again as well as sending all my friends. :) read more

I just got home from reviewing the pictures that I took from a boudoir session with Lily from a few weeks ago. I couldn't be happier with how they turned out and I'm so excited to get the finished product and give it to my soon to be hubby on our wedding day. Lily is a such a sweet person and I felt comfortable instantly once I met her. Her studio is in downtown Burlingame and is elegant and beautiful. I wish my bedroom looked like her studio!! It's the perfect backdrop for boudoir photos. Lily did a wonderful job guiding me through all the poses we did and made me feel confident even though I had never done anything like this before! Top to bottom she was a pleasure to work with and I would shoot with her again in a heart beat. She is well worth the money and I guarantee you will have a memorable experience and an incredible finished product! Thanks Lily! Kimmy J read more

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Lily- Start to finish. Her studio was fantastic and she has a wonderful demeanor which put me at ease during the photo session. When I received my finished book I was absolutely blown away. The pictures far exceeded my expectations. I feel like a model!! I have already told several friends about Lily and will continue to refer people to her. You HAVE to give her a try! read more

I hired Lily for a boudoir session as a wedding present for my fiance. I hired her based on her tasteful and beautiful photographs that I saw on her website. Lily was a joy to work with. She was prompt with email responses and very informative about what her shoot would entail. She also gave me a detailed list on how to prepare for my shoot. My photos and album were beyond amazing and gorgeous. I love it and I know my fiance will love it too. We will love it for years to come when I'm old and gray. Lily, Thank you so much for your professionalism, ability to make me laugh, put me at ease, and your insanely talented photography skills. read more

I was thoroughly pleased with my experience and results of my photo shoot with Lily. She's professional and has a nature ability to instill confidence in her clients. Before I booked with Lily, we had a brief but informative phone conversation about what to expect and how to prepare. On the day of the shoot I was excited and a tad nervous, but I was instantly put at ease by Lily. We started by reviewing her products (photobooks) and then she provided feedback on the outfits and accessories that I brought (which I greatly appreciated). The studio is quaint but provides a lot of varying back drops and I loved the variety of shoots she was able to capture during my 1.5 hour session. She really has a great eye and it shows in the photos she takes. She has a tasteful and classic style to her work that appealed to me. The photos, photobook, and video far exceeded my expectations and I was beyond happy (as was my husband) with the end result. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lily for a boudoir photo shoot. read more

If yelp would let me give Lily 10 stars, she would get 10 out of 5 from me. In addition to what all the previous reviews stated, I have to say that besides her being an amazing photographer, Lily is also extremely easy to work with. Once you step into her studio, you'll get go of all the worries. We all want to look good in our pictures, yes, every single one of them. Lily is able to make you look like a starlet. She'll find your best angle, and capture that classy, happy, sexy moment. These moments are the ones that when you look back, you'll be glad that you book the shoot with Lily. read more
