Photography for Every Chapter of Your Family's Story

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.

Family Photography

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.

Explore Maternity Sessions

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.

Explore Newborn Sessions

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.

Explore Milestone Sessions

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.

Meet Lily

Your Northern Virginia Family Photographer

Lily Le-Coll, 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.
