DALLAS NEWBORN & CAKE SMASH PHOTOGRAPHER

My whole family loves Lily!! 🖤 She has photographed both of my sisters’ children and now both of mine! She is truly a rockstar at what she does and one of the kindest people you’ll ever meet. We showed up with our newborn son, and of course, he had a blowout right before pictures…lol. It didn’t faze her one bit! She jumped right in, changed him, and kept everything moving smoothly. I had just had a C-section, and she constantly reminded me to sit down and not worry because she had everything under control, which she absolutely did.
She was amazing with all of the kids and somehow managed to keep everyone’s attention. We received the most beautiful photos of our extended family, our newborn son, and special family pictures of just our little family! 🖤
I would recommend Lily to anyone looking for beautiful photos that will become cherished memories in their home for years to come. We love you so much, Lily, and thank you for absolutely killing it once again!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Lily is the best! I just worked with her for the second time! The first, newborn pics of our son and most recently, a family mini session for Christmas card/ new baby announcements. First of all, she was amazing with both my husband (who absolutely hates having his photo taken) and my 10-month old son. She is very laid back and flexible and so gracious in working with us to accommodate our families’ needs. She was so helpful with a last minute reschedule due to a family medical situation, and goes above and beyond to exceed any requests and expectations!
And her photographs are just gorgeous!! She really knows how to bring out the best in her subjects in a very natural way. People commented that the photos from the newborn session were some of the best they had ever seen, and I can’t wait to share the pics from our most recent family session. I’m so glad we got to use Lily to capture these sweet moments of our family. She provides the best experience AND finished product!

Lily is an absolute gem! She has been our go-to photographer for my baby’s first year, she has done his newborn, 6-month, and cake smash photoshoots. The photos have a beautiful, crisp aesthetic, and are simply beautiful. Lily is so patient and great with kids, making the entire experience stress-free. She is patient, professional, and easy to work with. If you are looking for a photographer to capture your family’s milestones, Lily is the one!

Beyond Expectations! Maternity/Newborn Magic! I was searching for the best maternity photographer in DFW, and after hours of looking through styles, galleries, and angles, choosing Lily was truly the best decision I made. From our very first consultation, she was professional, warm, and completely personalized the experience to make sure I felt supported every step of the way. She even helped me find a nearby makeup artist and hairstylist so my day would be stress-free. When my husband and I arrived at her studio, we had the best photography experience we have ever had. Lily made every look, gown, and pose feel natural and beautiful. What impressed me most was that Lily wasn’t focused on time limits or how many outfits her services offered for that package, unlike many other photographers. She cared deeply about capturing the right moments in the most meaningful and stunning way. Her editing process was just as amazing, patient, detail-oriented, and always open to even the smallest feedback. THE FINAL PHOTOS WERE BEYOND ANYTHING WE IMAGINED. Lily is truly THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER in DFW, and we can’t wait for her to capture our family photos for years to come!🖤

Working with Lily Hayes has been such a wonderful experience! She photographed my maternity, newborn, and lifestyle sessions, and each one exceeded my expectations. Lily has an incredible eye for detail and a gift for capturing genuine, natural moments. She is also so warm and patient, which made us feel completely at ease throughout the process – especially with our toddler, who needed a little extra entertaining. We now have the most beautiful memories to look back on, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend!!

Lily is an absolutely wonderful photographer. She is such a beautiful person, both inside and out. Lily photographed our newborn pictures and was very professional, sweet and patient. We never felt rushed and we got the most beautiful pictures to treasure forever. We cannot wait to use Lily again!

I recently had a couple bad experiences with professional photographers. It made me nervous to pay for maternity photos and feel disappointed. So I waited until weeks before my due date to search for a photographer. When I found Lily I was impressed by her portfolio and was so happy to hear she had a wardrobe of gowns to choose from (this saved me hundreds of dollars by not having to rent/buy my own). 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.
She was flexible and accommodating with her schedule to get me in before I popped! And 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. It was hard making selections because I LOVED them all.
We will most certainly have her do our newborn photoshoot when our little one arrives!
If you’re on the fence about maternity photos, do them and hire Lily! You won’t regret it!!
