Hello! My name is Iliah Koontz, but I prefer to go by Lia. I have a wonderful husband, two adorable kids, and two silly dogs. I am a Lifestyle Photographer serving the Greater Houston Area. I love capturing memories and milestones that feel like a dream. My goal is for you to look back on these photos and feel the emotions from that moment and replay every sense you felt again. Photos are a tangible reminder of the moments we never want to forget. Lifestyle photography is more than just an image on the page; it's a step into your daily life, accomplishments you’ve made, and the chapters to come.

how it started
I first fell in-love with photography after being introduced to the art when planning my wedding in 2020. This interest only grew through my time in event marketing from 2020-2023. Flash forward to the Summer of 2023: I was battling the Newborn Trenches and felt time slipping away. I wanted so badly to preserve every minute of the first year, but was scared of the mess and the cost. Next thing I know I’m watching spec videos on different cameras trying to find the one that fits my needs as a new mom. From our very first photoshoot as a family, I was OBSESSED with the creative process. I wanted to share that joy with everyone. So, I started reaching out to friends or family, wanting to give more to those I loved. After that spark was ignited I knew this is what I wanted to do when I went back to work. Now it is two years later and I love it more every time I take off that lens cap.
