The Heart Behind Lilith Photography

Hi, I'm Shelly

My love for photography began over 30 years ago when I became a mom for the first time. What started as a desire to capture the everyday moments of my own three children grew into a lifelong passion and eventually, a career I truly love.

With over 17 years of professional experience, I specialize in maternity, newborn, children's, and family photography. From those tiny newborn details to the laughter and personalities of growing children, I love capturing the moments that tell your family's unique story.

My studio is located at 1412 20th Street in Granite City, Illinois. I love creating beautiful portraits in my studio, but you'll also find me exploring outdoor locations throughout the St. Louis and Metro East area, always searching for gorgeous light and the perfect backdrop.

To make your experience a little easier, I've put together a client closet filled with beautiful wardrobe options for maternity sessions and children. It's one less thing for you to worry about, so you can relax and enjoy the experience.

When I'm not behind the camera, I enjoy hiking, discovering little hidden gems, exploring local shops, and spending time with my family.

I believe the little moments often become our most treasured memories. The tiny hands, genuine laughter, and fleeting stages of childhood deserve to be remembered.

I'd love the opportunity to capture those memories for you.
