YOUR BRAND STORY NEEDS TO BE TOLD.
My mission is simple, really: I help the world see you the way you want to be seen. Through intentional storytelling and badass photography, I capture the real moments, the raw beauty, and the everyday magic that make your story uniquely yours.
At Lila Gray Photography, I believe everyone deserves to be seen and celebrated for exactly who they are. No fluff, no faking it. Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, I’ve been surrounded by diverse stories, big dreams, and bold visions my whole life. This is home, and the people here inspire my work daily.
Your story deserves to be told, and I’m here to help you share it in a way that elevates your brand and drives you toward those big business goals (because I know you’re aiming high). Let’s create something unforgettable.
MY MISSION:
HI, I’M LILA.
YOUR BRAND PHOTOGRAPHER.
SAN FRANCISCO BRANDING PHOTOGRAPHER
MY WORK.
About me.
Hey, creatives! I’m Lila, and I’m pretty fired up to welcome you here.
I’m a branding photographer, storyteller, visual marketing genius, adventure seeker, hockey player, laughter haver. The list goes on. But one of my favorite things is photographing people.
Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area (I love this place. So much.), I learned early on that every story deserves to be told—and told well. Whether you’re a creative entrepreneur bringing your vision to life or a business flipping the script, I’m here to tell your story in the way it deserves to be told.
When I’m not running a (very) full house of kids, dogs, and more sports gear than I’d like to discuss, I’m out there capturing the real, raw, and beautifully messy moments that make your brand unforgettable.
Here’s what you can expect to find around here:
I’ll give you your flowers. What does that mean? I’m the person who’s going to hype you up. Whether your brand is thriving, your creative vision is taking shape, or you’re grinding behind the scenes, I’ll be the first to notice—and celebrate. I see you, and I want you to know that.
Professional photos + personal storytelling. I combine the art of professional photography with personal storytelling. My work isn’t just about pretty pictures—it’s about capturing who you are and what your brand stands for in a way that’s impossible to forget.
Love that knows no boundaries. My philosophy? Love is love—without rules or limitations—and I bring this belief into every story I tell.
I can’t wait to know you. Let’s create images that tell your story.
WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU WORK WITH ME:
VISUAL BRANDING STRATEGY
Not sure what photos you need to build your brand—or how to actually use them? No stress, I’ve got you.
Before your session, I’ll dive into your story—how you started, what drives you, and your vision for the future. Then, we’ll create a game plan for your brand photography session, ensuring your story shines through every image.
You’re going to love these photos. That’s a promise.
And because photos shouldn’t just sit in a folder collecting digital dust, I’ll help you develop a strategy to put them to work. No more forgotten files—just images that elevate your brand and actually get seen.
PROFESSIONAL PORTRAITS
Also known as “headshots,” but let’s be real—these are so much more.
Every business needs them. Why? Because your face belongs everywhere in your marketing.
If you work face-to-face with clients, a great portrait helps them recognize you instantly. If you’re more behind-the-scenes, showing your face makes your brand feel human, relatable, and real. And in a world craving authenticity, that’s exactly what people want.
Let’s make sure they see you.
CUSTOM STOCK PHOTOS
Stock photos—but make them yours.
Stock images are the visual backbone of your brand—used on your website, social media, newsletters, and beyond. But generic stock photos? They fall flat.
Imagine having a library of professional, on-brand images featuring your space, your tools, and your work. No more endless scrolling for images that don’t quite fit (or worse, that everyone else is using).
Custom brand images make every inch of your marketing feel cohesive, intentional, and unmistakably you. Because your brand deserves better than one-size-fits-all visuals.
