(Matt’s Fun Fact)
“I once found myself taking photos at Kobe and Vanessa Bryant’s secret wedding. And, I’ve never had a cavity...ever. I’m not sure if either of these is very impressive, but it makes for a good ice breaker at the bar”.

Lily Chan is a multi faceted artist and photographer, specializing in portraiture, families, kids, lifestyle, weddings, boudoir, and special events. A UCLA graduate, with experience in both film and digital, Lily strives to capture candid, raw moments. Her favorite shots from any given session are usually the ones caught in between the scripted moments, the snippets of real life when no one thinks anyone is looking.
When Lily is not behind the camera, she’s busy knitting vegetables (instagram @batknit_crazy), singing karaoke, and running after her 2 active teenagers.
