Heyyy friend, I’m Lilly!
I'm a published branding, portrait, event and wedding photographer native to the Queen City, Charlotte, NC. #704!
I started Flowersome Photography in 2017 when I was a couple years out of college. At the time, I was barely making enough to cover my expenses, but I had a camera, an eye for capturing moments and a passion for helping people. I would have never thought that what began as a means of survival would turn into my full time passion.
The journey has stretched me (when I say stretched, I mean stretched lol) and now my business has blossomed into me being a vessel, used to pour into others while leaving them with photos they can hold onto for generations to come. It brings me inexplainable joy and heals something in me every time I shoot.
Photography is so much more than just finding the best lighting and snapping from the right angles. My goal is to help you see yourself rightly as someone who is uniquely and wonderfully made. A work of art. Someone whose story is worth telling, imperfections and all.
If you haven't taken professional photos in a while or ever, that's okay friend! I've got you! I know how awkward it can feel being in front of the camera, but we will work together so I'm able to give you all the direction you need. It won't be so much about being perfectly posed and positioned, but capturing authentic shots of you in the moment! You'd be surprised at how remarkable you are by simply being yourself.
I've had the honor of partnering with some notable brands, organizations and publications including the following:
Credit Karma
The Charlotte Mecklenburg Library
QCity Metro
HBCU Pride Nation
Brand the Yard
Charlotte Piedmont Community College
GardHouse
KNOW Women
Who Is She Brunch
Fearless Brown Girls
The Academy of Goal Achievers
Girl Talk Foundation and more!
I've been extremely blessed to have a number of families, brands and organizations trust me with capturing some of the most important moments of their lives. Some of them have been sweet enough to share their experiences!

“I enjoyed my shoot with Lilly so much! She has an ability to make ANYONE feel like a model (even when they are NOT - like me). Her direction and patience made the shoot feel really calm; it was a good time. And I love all the photos! Her style of shooting made all the photos feel really personal and warm; I loved every part of it!”

"Lilly’s work is breathtaking and her grace while behind the camera is infectious. The two combined is what sets her apart from other photographers. She’s easy to work with, thinks creatively, and effectively collaborates with her clients providing the time and attention required to produce the finest images. Her work has also helped enhance my website, marketing presence and has allowed me to feel confident with my own images in social spaces."

I have had several group photo experiences with Lilly that were great! But when I had my own branding photoshoot it was so different. I was super nervous the day before my shoot for several different reasons and when I expressed my nervousness to Lilly she normalized my feelings and made every effort to make me feel comfortable! She walked me through the different poses which took a lot of patience! When I received my proofs I thought, what is she going to edit? My photos look amazing! The edits are TOP TIER! Book her!

"Working with Lilly was a great experience. She came into the shoot with ideas/concepts and made the experience fun. I’m super uncomfortable in front of the camera, but I forgot that while she was shooting. The pictures were so much better than I ever could have imagined. 100% recommend her to anyone who is looking for a phenomenal photographer!"
Tiff & Markie Johnson
“Working with Lilly is always a highly enjoyable experience. We’ve been lucky to have her capture all of our special milestones. We deeply appreciate all her work and will most definitely seek out her services again once our baby girl is born!”
