Hi, I’m Lily, a Toronto-based photographer and the heart behind Project Kimi.

Welcome to my Kind Mirror, a quiet space to pause, to be seen, and to celebrate the beauty of simply being here on this earth.

This project began during a time when I struggled to offer myself the kindness I gave so freely to others. On the days I couldn’t look in the mirror without judgment, photography became a lifeline. It was a way to notice light, presence, and grace in others, even when I couldn’t yet find it in myself.

Now, I photograph people and their moments, not just for the image, but for the memory. The way a child reaches for their parent’s hand, the softness in your eyes when you're not posing, the quiet confidence that lives in your stillness. These are the things I want to preserve, not just for today, but for years to come.

My goal is simple:

To be a kind mirror.
To reflect your light back to you. Gently, honestly, lovingly.

If you’re ready to be photographed in this season of your life, whatever it looks like, I’d be honoured to hold that space and capture it for you.
