About Me
I’m Lilit Danielyan, though everyone calls me Lilo. I’m a photographer, filmmaker, and teaching artist. My work has been featured in PhotoVogue and exhibited internationally, and I contributed as an artist-photographer to the book Dear Maine: The Trials and Triumphs of Maine’s 21st Century Immigrants (IslandPort Press).
I specialize in both commercial and documentary photography, focusing on themes like migration, belonging, and nostalgia. My project Along the Closed Borders earned recognition in the Documentary category at the College Photographer of the Year competition (CPOY 76) and was featured in Meduza. In 2022, my project Landscapes of Home won first prize in the iDiaspora Photo Contest.
I hold a BA in Psychology from Smith College and studied 16mm narrative cinema at the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts (FAMU) in Prague. I’m a member of Women Photograph and VII Photo Academy.
My Approach
For me, photography is not just about capturing images — it’s about seeing, feeling, and connecting deeply with the moment.
With a background in psychology and years of experience working with immigrant and refugee communities, I approach every session with care, presence, and emotional depth. Whether it’s a family portrait, a creative collaboration, or a therapeutic photography workshop, my focus is always on genuine connection.
I believe everyone deserves to be seen with compassion and creativity. My goal is not just to take beautiful photos, but to create a space where you can express your true self — your story, your essence, and your truth.
Each session is collaborative and personalized. I guide you with warmth, offer creative direction, and provide styling support, ensuring you feel comfortable and seen — just as you are.
Whether you’re celebrating a big life change or simply honoring the person you are right now, I’ll be there, with a camera and an open heart.
Questions and answers
How do I book a session?
To book a session, simply fill out my booking form with your preferred package, date, and details. Once I review your request, I’ll confirm availability and send you the next steps.
Is a deposit required?
Yes, a 30% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking. The remaining balance is due on the day of the session before we begin photographing.
What payment methods do you accept?
I accept PayPal, Venmo, and bank transfers.
Do you offer refunds or rescheduling?
Deposits are non-refundable, but I understand that things come up. You can reschedule your session once at no extra cost if you notify me at least 48 hours in advance.
I’ve never had a professional photoshoot before. Is that a problem?
Not at all! Everyone starts somewhere. I specialize in making you feel comfortable and confident, whether it’s your first professional session or you’re a seasoned pro. My relaxed, personalized approach ensures that we’ll capture natural, beautiful images that truly represent you.
What’s included in each package?
Each package includes a consultation, creative direction, a set number of edited digital images, and personal use rights. The Sprout and Bloom packages offer more time, more images, and additional creative options like film photography.
Can I purchase additional images?
Yes! If you’d like more than the included images, additional photos can be purchased for €15 per image.
Do you offer any extras like film photography or styling?
Yes! You can add:
- Film photography
- Studio rental (rental fees will be charged separately)
- Additional images ($20 each)
- Stylist & makeup artist (pricing to be discussed)
- Full Commercial Rights (starts with $50)
When will I receive my photos?
Depending on the season, your fully edited images will be delivered within 14 — 21 days via a private, watermarked gallery. You’ll then select your favorite images (according to your package), and I’ll provide the final high quality downloads.
Can I print my photos?
Yes! All packages include Personal Use Printing Rights, meaning you can print them for your home, portfolio, or personal projects.
What if I need to use the images for my website, album cover, or promotional materials?
If you need to use the images for your website, album cover, or other promotional materials, the Basic Commercial Rights are included in your session. This covers usage for digital marketing, personal branding, social media, and other promotional purposes.
If you require images for large-scale advertising (e.g., print campaigns, billboards, national ads), this would fall under Full Commercial Rights, which comes with an additional licensing fee starting at $150 per image, depending on the intended use.
Feel free to reach out to discuss your specific needs!
Do you charge a travel fee?
I do charge a travel fee if the session location is outside of a 30-mile radius from my base in Portsmouth, NH. The fee will depend on the distance and travel time required. I will always discuss any travel fees upfront, so there are no surprises. If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out, and I’ll provide a custom quote based on your location.
Can I bring outfit changes?
Absolutely! The Sprout and Bloom packages allow for more outfit changes to give you variety in your final images.
Can I get on a call with you before booking?
Yes! I offer a free 15-minute consultation via Zoom or WhatsApp to discuss your vision, wardrobe, and any questions. You can request this when booking.
Will you share my photos publicly?
I love showcasing my work, but I respect your privacy. If you prefer to keep your photos private, just let me know when signing the contract.
How can I contact you if I have more questions?
Feel free to reach out via
email danielyan.lilith@gmail.com or Instagram direct message @lilit.alma, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
