I am excited to tell you that %95 of the gorgeous woman featured here are NOT models...So you can rest assured that Butterfly Beauties Photography is for EVERY woman!
Our Philosophy:
Butterfly Beauties Photography specializes in glamour for ALL women and brings out a women's personal style and very special individual essence that only she possesses. Her beauty is a reflection of her - as unique as her fingerprint... therefore you will see a wide variety of women's styles, sizes, shapes, colors, ages and personalities! Beauty is from within and translates outward into many gorgeous forms!
~You are a beautiful individual, and there is no one else like you in the whole universe. I wanted to create a place where every woman can feel glamorous, because every woman deserves to!~
Ila has been a photographer for 8-years and has taken over 20,000 photographs of women in all reposes. She holds an undergraduate degree in speech/broadcasting with an emphasis in photography. Ila is also working on her Master's Degree in Creative Writing from A.S.U., and is currently putting together a book of memoirs from her travel experiences in India; the book will also include many wonderful photographs of women from India with poems reminiscent of their beauty. She has worked as an assistant agent in an Acting/Modeling agency for models and plus-sized models, and has experience in television and modeling. "I know what it's like to be in front of a camera and how it can be a little intimidating, so I have empathy when I photograph a woman; I want to make this a pleasurable comfortable experience, as well as fun!" Ila is also a natural born artist; a trait she says she inherited from her mother, and like her mother, she enjoys sculpturing and she loves water-color painting; "My favorite paintings are of women in romantic settings… I am so passionate about expressing this beauty and art in the photos I take – each photo is utterly special and so is every woman that is in them." “Give it a try.” She says. “It’s something you have always wanted to do – so do it!”
From Ila:
On a personal note: Let it be known that my mother is my inspiration: she is the light of my soul, as magical as a butterfly; she is a very youthful 70-year –old, with a million-dollar smile, and she is like sunshine when she walks into a room. But last year, she did not feel well and gave in to feeling unattractive and old and not smiling at all. She would come to me and say, "Ila, I am so ugly."
But honestly, all I could see was the most beautiful woman.
One day after she had been crying, I said to her, "Let’s take some pictures of you."
Her photos revealed her self to her -the way she truly is - the way I see her- Stunning.
She cried again, but this time they were tears of happiness. It has made a world of difference to her to see herself like that; and in turn it has given me joy to see her smile again.


Whether you are a woman who wants some wonderful photos to give to your loved one, or a woman who wants some lovely photos for herself, or you really are a model who wants to add some nice variety to your portfolio– together, we can work to make some beautiful photos of you.
There is only one rule to keep in mind when we photograph you: All you have to do is simply be YOU, and you will see, that your photos will emerge as a lovely reflection of your individual beauty!
