Some photoshoots just feel like a slow, beautiful afternoon with a lovely family… little feet exploring the grass, tiny hands reaching for sticks and leaves, giggles carried through the trees, and the sweetest blue-eyed boy with cheeks you could just squeeze all day.

The best moments aren’t always the perfectly posed ones — they’re the lifts into the air, the cuddles with mom, the curious little looks, and the laughter that happens in between.

These are the moments that turn into memories, and I feel so lucky to be the one capturing them! 🥹🌿

Bookings are open — let’s create something beautiful together! 📸

Every love story has a moment where everything quietly falls into place. From the way they look at each other to the way they naturally gravitate closer, you can tell this is a “meant to be” kind of love! 🥹🤍

This engagement shoot felt like capturing a chapter that’s leading into a very beautiful forever. 💍💍

Their love is gentle, steady, and so incredibly beautiful to witness. A little piece of their forever ✨📸

After rescheduling this shoot more times than we can count, thanks to the unpredictable, rainy weather... We were honestly preparing ourselves for some more rain! But the day had a surprise waiting for us! 💛

The clouds opened, the sun broke through and suddenly we were standing on the cliffs with the most beautiful golden sunset lighting everything up. It honestly felt like the universe waited for this moment - like it was saving it just for them!

And after all the rescheduling... It was worth every little bit of it! 🌤️💛✨

There’s something about the ocean that brings out the most natural, honest moments between two people. No rush, no noise - just the sound of waves and a couple completely in their own world. 🌊🐚🤍

Watching these two walk together reminded me why I love doing this: the quiet glances, the soft laughs, the way they settle into each other without even thinking about it.
I’m always grateful for couples who show up as themselves and trust me to capture their story in a real, simple, and genuine way! 🤍✨

The moments that make you pause and smile! ✨ It’s never about the perfect pose - it’s about laughter that turns into real smiles, quiet moments that turn into memories, and the way love feels in soft light 💛

This session reminded me why I love photography so much! 🥹 My goal has always been to tell stories that feel real and bring a little warmth every time you look back. ✨💛

Hey there! I’m Shannon — the face behind the camera at Lilly & Lens Photography ✨

I’m a hot chocolate enthusiast, obsessed with golden light, genuine smiles and those perfectly unposed moments that tell your story! Whether it’s couples laughing until they cry, families being their beautiful chaotic selves or dreamy portraits that make you feel like you — I’m here for it all 💛

When I’m not out capturing memories, you’ll probably find me re-watching The Rookie, getting lost in Pinterest boards for “inspiration” or trying to convince my dog to pose nicely! 😂

My goal? To make you feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and to capture the kind of photos you’ll look back on and feel all over again.

So if you love photos that are warm, real, and a little bit magic — we’re going to get along just fine 🌿

Let’s connect! Whether you’re ready to book or just want to chat ideas, my inbox (and DMs) are always open! ✨

Round 2 of the Tourism Slow Drive Protest. This slow drive took place on Wednesday morning starting at Kings Park Pool driving through Durban and all along the M4 all the way to Umhlanga. We spoke, they heard. Action was put in place and the intra-provincial travel ban was lifted. Now we pray for the SA travel & local travel ban to be lifted! Open leisure travel to save thousands of business and to save lives. Many families, like my own, rely on travel income to survive. Imagine your family was trying to live off R700 relief fund money for a month... Money that may or may NOT be paid out. It's difficult.

Many businesses have closed down, many on the verge of closing. Please help spread awareness!

Please can I ask friends and family to share this far and wide. Let this be seen. Hear their cries for help. Tourism can help boost the economy! With safety measures in place!

And if you are wanting to help. Feel free to message me and I can tell you how, or go to the Harvey World Travel Highway page to see some awesome specials. ❤️

Proud to be featured on East Coast Radio's article about the Durban Tourism Protest that took place yesterday morning!

This cause is particularly close to me and my family since my mom is in the Travel industry. Many families, like mine, are suffering, some worse than others. Most families in this industry are worrying about where their next meal is coming from.

Help keep the industry alive! A lot of businesses have closed down due to no work. Enough is enough.

Restaurateurs, Bed and Breakfast owners and tour guides were among tourism sector employers who took to the streets on Wednesday - calling for tourism in KwaZulu-Natal to be opened.
