Film nostalgia, on the device you already carry.
Our story
Where film nostalgia
meets your iPhone.
Founded by USC lacrosse teammates and best friends Casey and Callie, LoTime was born in the heart of LA, between golden-hour shoots, vintage shop runs, and days spent chasing light and memories across the city.
They loved the magic of disposable cameras: the waiting, the grain, the way one photo could hold an entire day. But they hated the cost, the waste, and the hassle.
So they built LoTime: the first film-style iPhone lens that makes every shot feel intentional, imperfect, and real, without a single roll of film. It's for the people who want their memories to feel timeless, not throwaway.
LoTime brings back slowing down to take photos, so your favorite moments don't just live in your camera roll. They live in your life.

Meet the founders.
Casey Roberts
Founder and CEO
Casey Roberts is the founder and CEO of LoTime, a film-inspired lens designed for iPhone that helps people capture nostalgic, authentic moments in a more intentional way. Originally from Delray Beach, Florida, Casey recently graduated from the University of Southern California, where she balanced being a Division I student-athlete while building LoTime from the ground up.
A self-proclaimed sucker for nostalgia, Casey has always loved the feeling that film photos bring, the imperfect, emotional, and timeless way they capture memories. After realizing how expensive and inconvenient traditional film photography could be, she became inspired to create a more accessible way for people to document life's special moments without losing the feeling that makes film so meaningful. That idea became LoTime: a modern take on nostalgic photography designed to help people slow down, be present, and hold onto moments that matter.
Callie Cirilli
Co-founder
Callie Cirilli has had a camera in her hand since she was four years old, when she was first given a point‑and‑shoot and started documenting everything around her: family, friends, travel, and everyday scenes. Photography quickly became her way of noticing small details and preserving how moments felt, not just how they looked, a habit that followed her through childhood, college, and everyday life.
That lifelong pull toward capturing real, in‑between moments is what ultimately led her to help create LoTime. For Callie, the brand is an extension of the same curiosity that kept her clicking the shutter as a kid: a way to help other people hold onto their own special moments. By bringing the warmth, texture, and nostalgia of photography into the tech people use every day, she wants LoTime to be an easy way to make every memory one you can keep and feel.
