Welcome to Within These Hearts: A Home for Wild Motherhood, Soulful Women & Honest Stories

There is beauty in the unfiltered moments of life.

The quiet weight of a child resting against your chest.

The way sunlight dances across your kitchen table in the morning.

The laughter that echoes through a messy, love-filled home.

These are the moments I live to capture.

If you’ve found your way here, you are likely someone who believes that perfection is overrated, that love is best felt in the in-between, and that real life is more beautiful than anything posed or staged.

Welcome. This is a space for you.

A Bit About Me & Why I Do This Work

I’m Lily, a storytelling photographer who captures wild motherhood, intimate family moments, and soulful women.

I believe that motherhood is not meant to be tamed. It is raw, powerful, vulnerable, and beautifully imperfect. It is found in morning chaos, deep belly laughter, whispered lullabies, and the soft exhale of a mother who finally finds a moment of stillness.

But somewhere along the way, many of us stop seeing the beauty in our own stories.

We worry about the mess.

We think we need to look a certain way.

We hesitate to step in front of the camera.

And yet, these moments — the ordinary, fleeting, breathtakingly real moments — are the ones we will miss the most.

I don’t want you to wait until it’s “the right time” for photos. The right time is now.

What You’ll Find Here

This blog is a home for:

✨ Wild, unposed, storytelling photography – A look inside my sessions, where we chase light, movement, and raw emotion.

✨ Deep reflections on motherhood & womanhood – Because these seasons deserve to be written about, remembered, and honored.

✨ Thoughtful guides for clients – How to prepare for an in-home session, what to wear, and how to embrace the beauty of imperfection.

✨ Creative projects & personal stories – Because I believe in documenting life as I live it, too.

This space is not just about photography — it’s about the stories we leave behind, the way we choose to remember, and the permission to be fully seen.

Why This Matters

One day, your children will go searching for photos of you.

Not just of them — but of you. The way you held them. The way you looked at them. The way love lived between you.

And I want to make sure they find them.

Your story is worth capturing.

Whether you are a mother knee-deep in the beauty and chaos of raising little ones, a woman rediscovering herself, or someone who simply longs to be seen as you truly are — I want to create something real for you.

I want you to look at your photos and feel something.

I want you to see yourself the way your loved ones see you — wild, tender, powerful, enough.
