Your family’s story
deserves to be remembered.
|
The moment you find out you’re expecting, everything changes. Let’s capture the wonder of new life, celebrate the joy of your expanding family, and preserve the precious details of your baby’s first year. I strive to make all of your portraits with me fun, easy and absolutely stress-free!
These days will fly by, but the photographs will last a lifetime.
Based in Springfield, Virginia, I offer relaxed family, maternity, newborn, and milestone photography throughout Northern Virginia, Washington, DC, and Maryland.

From the first days of newborn life to the excitement of a first birthday, let’s preserve the moments you’ll want to revisit for years to come.
The laughter, the little hands reaching for yours, the personalities that make your family yours. Family sessions are relaxed and thoughtfully guided, creating a beautiful mix of portraits and genuine connection.
Available in my Springfield studio and at outdoor locations throughout Northern Virginia and the DC area.
There’s something extraordinary about the anticipation of meeting your baby. Let’s celebrate this season with elegant, heartfelt maternity portraits that honor the changes, excitement, and love growing alongside your little one.
Choose a studio session or an outdoor location that feels meaningful to you.
Those tiny fingers, sleepy stretches, and quiet moments of getting to know your baby are fleeting. Whether you prefer the comfort of your own home or a thoughtfully styled studio session, I’ll help you preserve these early days without adding unnecessary stress to your new routine.
My newborn sessions prioritize your baby’s comfort and safety, with time for feeding, soothing, and breaks as needed.
First birthdays deserve to be celebrated! From sweet portraits before the cake comes out to the wonderfully unpredictable cake smash itself, we’ll create a collection that captures your baby’s emerging personality.
My Springfield studio offers styled setups, backdrops, and thoughtfully selected props to make your little one’s milestone special.
Say goodbye to awkward school photo smiles and hello to authentic moments that truly showcase your child’s personality. With these Personality Portrait super mini sessions, we’ll create a series of unique, fun, and candid images in my cozy Springfield studio—complete with their favorite outfit (even superhero capes!) or treasured toys. Let’s celebrate your child’s individuality with portraits you’ll treasure forever!
Perfect for ages 1–10, these mini sessions let their unique spark shine through in timeless, joy-filled portraits you’ll treasure for years to come. Whether your cub is shy, silly, or somewhere in between, we’ll create a relaxed space where their authentic self takes center stage.

Getting everyone together is no small feat. Whether you’re celebrating a family reunion, gathering multiple generations, or finally bringing the whole family into one frame, I’ll help organize the portraits while making room for the natural moments in between.
Let’s work together!
I am incredibly excited to connect with you! It would be wonderful to hear about your vision and ideas. Please email me at info@lotusgraphicdesign.com with a detailed description of your project scope, including any specific requirements, goals, and timelines that you have in mind.

I know family life is busy. Between work, school, appointments, and everything else on your plate, planning a photo session can feel like one more thing to manage.
That’s why I’ve designed my experience to make things easier from the beginning.
Meet Lily
Your Northern Virginia Family Photographer
Hi, I’m Lily!
I’m a trained and certified Northern Virginia–based family photographer serving Washington, DC area, and I believe family photographs should be about more than getting everyone to look at the camera.
They should remind you of the people you love, the season you’re in, and the little details you might otherwise forget.
As a mom, I understand how quickly children change and how easy it is to spend your days documenting everyone else while rarely stepping into the frame yourself.
My goal is to make your session feel comfortable, personal, and thoughtfully planned, so you can be present with your family while I take care of capturing the memories.
Whether we’re welcoming your newborn, celebrating a first birthday, or gathering the whole family together, I’d love to help tell your story.
My photography studio is in Washington, DC, convenient for families throughout Northern Virginia and the greater Washington, DC area. I also offer outdoor sessions and select in-home newborn sessions.
I specialize in family, maternity, newborn, milestone, and cake smash photography. I also offer extended family sessions, mini sessions, and select portrait and event services.
It’s best to reach out during pregnancy if you’re hoping to schedule a newborn session soon after your baby arrives. Booking ahead gives us time to plan, and we’ll discuss the timing that best fits your preferred session style.
You can explore the available sessions, package details, and starting prices on my pricing page.
I’ll provide styling guidance to help you coordinate your outfits and choose colors and textures that photograph beautifully. The goal is to feel comfortable and look like yourselves.
