Talofa, my name is Lily!

Self Portrait

I believe vision and imagination play a huge role in our lives, and capturing those moments and imagery is a privilege for any photographer. I'm deeply passionate about my work, and it would be an honor to capture those 'live in the moment' shots for you all.

How was ‘Sierra Lens’ Inspired?

Sierra Lens was inspired by a quiet time with the Lord. I pondered over the two words for quite a while. You see the word Sierra means “saw” (in latin) or “mountain range,” and lens refers to a transparent material that focuses light. At first, it might sound a little confusing—but let me explain.

The Lord saw me at my lowest and rescued me from everything I was going through—mentally, physically, and spiritually. Without Him, I wouldn’t be where I am today.

Now, I live my life with full transparency—for Him. That shows up in everything I do, from my photography and editing to the way I carry myself each day. It’s all about reflecting His light through my work. After all, He’s the greatest artist there is—how could I not be inspired by His beautiful creation?

They say a picture is worth a thousand words
but I believe it pieces together a thousand stories.
