"We have used Lily Hayes Photography twice in the last few years and had a great experience both times! She did my daughter’s cake smash pictures last week and they turned out amazing! Lily was easy to book with and very flexible. She was also very patient with my kids. Her portraits also had a quick turnaround which is important to me. Lily Hayes Photography definitely did not disappoint and we will be back!"

"We've done two photography sessions with Lily Hayes (and many more in the future) and we couldn’t be happier with the results! Her photography is elegant, thoughtful, and captures moments in a way that feels genuine and lasting. In particular, as first-time parents, we were a little nervous about how our baby would do during the newborn session, but Lily was so gentle, extremely patient, and reassuring throughout the entire session. She took her time, never rushed us, and somehow knew exactly how to soothe and position our little one with such care. What really impressed us was the attention to detail. Every pose, every blanket, and every little adjustment was done thoughtfully and creatively, making sure our baby was safe and comfortable. We also loved how Lily incorporated small touches that felt so personal to our family, which made the photos even more meaningful. We are so grateful we chose Lily for this special moment in our lives. If you’re looking for someone who combines artistry with genuine warmth and care, I couldn’t recommend her more highly. The resulting photos are stunning, carefully composed, and full of authentic emotion, exactly what you would hope for!"

"I recently had a couple bad experiences with professional photographers. It made me nervous to pay for maternity photos and feel disappointed. When I found Lily I was impressed by her portfolio. I was still feeling nervous but she invited my husband and I over to her studio to chat and go through the process. After seeing her studio and her level of professionalism we left that meeting feeling 100% confident about hiring her. The results are absolutely incredible! I can’t tell you what a relief it was when she sent me the raw gallery to choose my favorites. I was so nervous to open the link I sent it to friends first (this is how bad my past experiences have been with photographers). They all raved about how well she did and said it’s some of the best photos they’ve ever seen of me. If you’re on the fence about maternity photos, do them and hire Lily! You won’t regret it!!"

"Chose to do the in studio setting for 5 kids plus 2 adults. We needed multiple groupings as well. Studio was very clean and organized, photographer was professional but warm-hearted. Worked very well with my shy 2 yr old and got some amazing photos of her, as well as one of the kids who is autistic and required a little more care in getting him to pose properly. The photos could not have come out better! Pricing was very fair for the amount of shots and photos we picked to keep! Hands down, a great experience all around! We will definitely be coming back!!! Thank you so much for helping us create some family memories!"

"Lily Hayes is an absolute treasure and a true joy to work with. She has been capturing our family photos for the past three years, and each session has been such a wonderful experience. Our 3-year-old daughter absolutely adores her—Lily is not only gentle and patient, but also so much fun! She brings such warmth and positivity to every session, creating a relaxed and joyful atmosphere that puts everyone at ease. Her attention to detail is incredible, and she consistently captures moments that feel both natural and meaningful. Lily has truly become a part of our family tradition, and we are so grateful for the beautiful memories she continues to create. We genuinely love working with her, time and time again!"

"Lily Hayes Photography has become my family's photographer for years to come! Lily is professional, caring, knowledgeable and great at communicating. You can tell just by talking to her that she loves what she does within the photography world. I love her portfolio and editing style. She has done my maternity photos and made me feel so comfortable and beautiful during the whole process. She did our newborn/family pictures as well and just completed our cake smash session. I wish we had known her during our wedding so we could have had her then too. My family is very comfortable with her, even my husband doesn't mind picture days with her (and he hates taking pictures). Lily will be our family photographer for all special moments and yearly for years to come. I HIGHLY recommend Lily Hayes Photography to all family's!"

"STOP! Your search ends here. Lily went above and beyond during our maternity studio session. She offered tremendous value with a huge selections of beautiful gowns, all included at no extra charge. From the beginning she took care to ask and understand what our goals were. She was very open minded, and even enthusiastic to try ideas and inspiration we inquired about. Her tasteful, and skilled touch ups in post editing made sure to make mama look and feel stunning from all angles. Trust me, I've spent countless days comparing and reading reviews before choosing Lily Hayes. No hidden fees or add-ons to worry about. We had fun at our session, Lily checks all the boxes!!"
