My name is Babsie Ly and I'm an artist who uses photography as my form of storytelling. My artwork embodies classic film tones, and modern elegance with an editorial flair. Staying true to capturing intentional and candid moments, I focus on delivering high quality work that is luminous and refined with an array of beautiful colors.
I strive to create a warm and inviting experience for couples who desire graceful imagery that is meaningful and timeless. With an eye for photojournalism and editorial design, I love to blend both styles into my workflow. With a BFA degree in photography and graphic design, I have an extensive background in color theory, composition and lighting.

I reached out to Babsie to help plan my surprise proposal to my girlfriend during a weekend trip in San Diego, and ever since the first email communication, she's been extremely pleasant and easy to work with. She helped draw up the full plan at Balboa Park and also provided minute by minute updates leading up to the main event! We had a photoshoot after the proposal and felt very comfortable the entire time with her direction and expert eye for all the locations for the shoot. All the pictures turned out amazing and beautiful!
I couldn't have asked for a better experience with a photographer

My husband and had our maternity photo done by, Babsie and she was hands down amazing. Babsie is so down to earth, friendly, and so much fun to work with. She is very professional, returns emails really fast, has great recommendations for hair and make up if needed one. She was so great to work with. And her final product turned out beautiful! I highly recommend Babsie. Thank you Babsie for everything

I used Babsie for my engagement photos at Joshua Tree and she completely exceeded my expectations. She was a dream to work with and made the entire process stress free. I was pretty nervous in the beginning of our photos, but her sweet personality completely made my nerves disappear. Our photos turned out more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. She completely understood my vision and took it to a whole other level. I can't recommend Babsie enough. I am so excited that she will be there on my wedding day and could not imagine working with anyone else. Thank you for everything!!

Babsie was our photographer for our engagement session, as well as our wedding. Babsie definitely went above and beyond with her service and we were very pleased with how all our photos turned out. She was very organized and the timeline she created for us helped our wedding day run smoothly. We had so much fun working with her and couldn't imagine having anyone else capture our special day!

I found Babsie after doing some research on photographers who specialized in proposal photography. I had planned the proposal for months and I wanted a professional photographer to capture the moment. After reviewing her portfolio on her blog, I knew instantly she was the one. Babsie's work is high-quality, artistic and timely. After contacting her, we scheduled a date and time for the proposal, and Babsie ran through all the important tips and suggestions for the special day. Throughout the weeks of planning, Babsie was extremely helpful and flexible with some of the changing plans. On

I hired Fixated Concepts for 3 separate photo shoots - maternity, newborn, and a large (14 people) extended family gathering. Wow. It doesn't get any better than Babsie and her partner Michael!
Pre-photo shoot she is extremely professional and responsive, and goes above and beyond to provide ideas and feedback for the shoot. During the session she has an amazing eye for the exact right shot, directs expertly, and has what seems to be inexhaustible patience. Her #1 goal is to get the perfect shot for her client and for them to be happy, regardless of what it takes! And after the session,

ABSOLUTELY amazing! Our photos turned out beautiful. I was looking for a photographer for my surprise porposal, after searching many other sites I knew I loved Fixed Concepts photos the best. I emailed Babsie for more information and she promptly responded. I knew I wanted to propose at Windansea beach but had never been there. Babsie, was very accomodating with sharing a map and the best spots for getting the perfect shots. Spoke to her once on the phone to setup the details and then we emailed and messaged through her site. It was so easy and put my mind at rest about that day! On the

Where do I even begin? We had their photobooth at our wedding in Dec 2015. It was a big hit! Our guests enjoyed the booth and their friendly service. They could not stop talking about how great the quality was and how nice they were. Babsie and Michael are great! They even joined our conga line :)
Fast forward to August now! I looked through Babsie's portfolio and fell in love with the quality and her overall style. I wish she was my photographer for my wedding :( My maternity photos came out beautifully and she recently did our newborn sons pictures. I am so excited to share the pictures

Best photo both experience ever!!! If I could rate them 10 stars I would. We used Fixated Concepts for our wedding reception and boy where they a hit! Our guest would not leave their area. The quality of pictures where amazing. Not to mention beautiful back drops, props, sleek and modern camera. Most importantly Babsie and Michael where so kind and… friendly. Even when they where ready to pack it up they didn't rush out our guest trying to take that last minute picture!!! Thanks again for a fabulous experience. I HIGHLY recommend them for any event, you will not be disappointed!

My wife and I had a blast with Fixated Concepts!! Upon speaking with Babsie, she was very sweet and attentive to our needs for our big day! Our wedding was right around the corner during the holidays and we were getting married in San Diego. Babsie was top-knotch with communicating with us and delivering the photos. We originally hired her for the… photo booth but then noticed she also does wedding photography and was IN LOVE with her style. We got the photo booth and wedding package with engagement and I'm beyond impressed with everything. My photos were all gorgeous!! I trusted her to

You know they are good when everyone at my wedding said they loved the photobooth and they loved the girl who operated the photobooth because she was super nice and efficient! I highly, highly recommend Fixated Concepts! The quality of the photos were superb and Babsie was super fast and efficient with printing and giving out the photos to my guests! She also was great at communicating and answered my email questions quickly!
Thank you so much Fixated Concepts for a great time! I'm going to recommend you to all my friends who are getting married!

We found Fixated Concepts while we were shopping for a photobooth for our wedding this past Saturday. We found them and they just had that right feel - a sense that they were invested into the wedding as much as we were to provide a great experience not just for us, the bride and groom, but for the guests as well. They were easy to work with, great at communication, very professional, but also very warm and fun to interact with.
Babsie and the crew showed up right on time Saturday, were more than willing to be flexible in where they were located, and they were perfect. They worked hard all throughout

Fixated Concepts is awesome and I would not hesitate to recommend! Babsie is a wonderful photographer and a true professional. I found her after admiring my friend's family & baby photos for a while, and I had to ask who they used because the images were stunning. We were looking to have our own first professional photo shoot for our own little family and I loved her artistry and creativity. I'm so glad we were able to get a spot in her busy schedule.
From the booking of our shoot, to the day of the shoot and the timely delivery of the photos, everything went super smoothly! On

This is my first ever review on yelp. I use yelp all the time and never comment. But anna deserved it. I found Anna on last minute to take pictures of my proposal. She and her assistant were awesome. I met with them early and decided on location. They even helped me pick up flowers that ordered for the set up location. The pictures were magnificent. My fiance loved them. We might use them for wedding invitation. If I lives in san diego, i would use them again. Thanks guys fir making our moment memorable.
