Cliché'd though it might sound, I love working with my clients. I don't approach a job pretending to know exactly what a client wants. I ask questions, I scout locations, I try to have as clear an understanding of what a client wants before I take a single photo. Also... I travel well beyond the 150 miles as stated below. I have photographed events in Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, and even France, and will gladly travel to cover your event.

Hi! I’m Lia Sims, an East Bay photographer specializing in thoughtful, creative, natural-light portrait, lifestyle, and small gathering photos. I create images that are artistic, predominantly candid, cinematic, and emotionally real. I’ve been doodling with a camera for 18 years and have spent the last 7 years using it professionally. Photography is also in my roots! It was passed down to me through my father. I spent many days in his photo studio as a child, thanks dad! My official training started in my junior year of high school in a 35mm film class. We even developed and printed our own work! I continued to grow my skills by moving ont

I was awarded Best of the Bay newborn and family photographer three consecutive years in a row. I may be in my 40’s, but having little kids of my own taught me I’m actually just a big kid.

There is nothing more satisfying then working with someone who knows that they need photos but don't know how to pose or smile. I love working with clients and make them feel comfortable in front of the camera. We get to know each other and we have a few laughs. Photography is my Candy store. When you do something you love, it's not work. I love every bit of photography... it is the best. Starting with meeting with the client and working with them to see what their vision is. It is always fun when we are at a photo shoot and some new ideas pop up and we just go with it. I like making them feel comfortable and have fun. I am here to make memor...
