Hello, I’m Lily!
BIO / LILY MONROE
A photographer who strives to impact others with love and light, a creative who feels and captures on a deep, emotional level, and the new friend you’ve been waiting for. Welcome to my world!
You have found my passion-place: photography. For a girl whose mind is vibrant with creativity and extroverted to the max, I like to say photography found me. While in nursing school, I picked up a camera and have yet to set it down. I graduated from Augustana University with my BSN, and while I still apply nursing part-time, I chose to focus on building a business that expanded my perspective. While this has become my main career focus, I am also a professional bodybuilder as well as a worship leader at Celebrate Church. My faith has guided me with strength in any and all pursuits I set my mind to. If I do what I love, then I will forever love what I do.
What is my photography specialty? I like to say I am a mastermind of capturing people and emotion. A true empath I am, which allows me to see, feel, and capture with a depth that exceeds ordinary.
With experience as a labor and delivery nurse as well as dermatology, you just cannot embarrass yourself with me! I have seen it all, therefore very little can surprise me. Authenticity is what I strive to bring about in all of my clients, because a true capture becomes when your true spirit shines.
Ultimately, we have one experience in this lifetime. The only boundaries we set are self-proclaimed, so I proclaim my power and ability to live freely and joyfully. After 5 years of navigating my calling in life, it has become clear: I am placed to encourage joy, to encourage unity and love, and ultimately, to prove good always prevails.
Cheers, to living life to the fullest, and capturing each moment along the way.
-Lily
