Thank you for stopping by! My name is Lily Qing He. I am a Houston, Texas based Newborn and Family Fine Portrait Photographer.  Documentary style photography is also my passion. I document my kids' life everyday and shoot exclusively weddings in May and June in China. I work with both Natural and Studio Lighting.

Started to shoot professionally since 2010 while studying at the Upstate Photo School of Greenville, South Carolina.. Much of my photography knowledge and life-long friendships have gained at the school. Creativity flourishes when I am surrounded by interesting places and people.  I have lived in China, Michigan, New York City, South Carolina and now in Houston, Texas.  I thank each one of my friends and clients who allow me to photograph them. I love discovering what makes them, and capturing it, as a beautiful piece of art. I seek hidden beauty and characters of people.

When I look at my artwork, I want to see into people's eyes which tell me a piece of soul of that person. Hope my work can make your heart sing.

My favorite quote is

"All the arts we practice are apprenticeship. The big art is our life" - M.C. Richards.

"You don't make a photography just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved." --Ansel Adams

Behind the lens, you will find:
-A Mother
-A Diver
-A Reader

I tribute my talent and this website to my dear mother and great artist - Ms. Holly Nan He.
