Lily

Lily’s photo shoot was interrupted when she had to pull a leech from her leg. I guess that happens when you are knee deep in a lake in northern Minnesota.

Lily removed the leech calmly and we moved on. She is comfortable with things that live in water and she plans to major in marine biology. Her favorite sea creature is a dumbo octopus. “They’re really cute,” she explained.

During summer, Lily prefers to be on water and in the winter, she loves snowboarding with her family.
Lily’s family is close. Her dad is Korean and has introduced her to flavorful Korean foods like kimchi and the seafood pancakes he makes.

When she’s alone, she likes to crank up music or play her electric guitar loudly. She also reads books, binge watches The Umbrella Academy, and hangs out with her dog and cats.

As she goes out to explore the world — above and below sea level — Lily will make waves.
