I know… they seriously just got out of school it seems (although many of you moms might be counting down the days until they head back to school…) but here in San Diego–kids go back to school around the end of August… that’s around the corner! You know those boring school portraits you get at school? Why not do a fun back to school session where you will receive special discounted mini-session pricing and (2) 5×7 prints? It’s way cute for those kidlets starting kindergarten too! The cost is $75+tax (normally that’s the cost for prints!) and you must pay $20 of the session fee when reserving your spot.
Please keep in mind this is geared toward kids 3 1/2ish- 10ish. Each additional child is $15. Sessions are best done as a single subject.
So reserve your spot for the mini sessions on August 15th before it fills up… and remember to bring your childs backpack & lunch box!

Click HERE to reserve your spot!
I had the pleasure of photographing this adorable family who had won a session in an auction (I donate to auctions if you are looking for a high-value prize for a good cause!)… anyway… how beautiful are N & C? I mean really…
Thanks R & L … I look forward to working with your family again!








I often get requests from people about either using MY pictures to enter their children into contests, or family members tell ME to enter MY kid into photo contests. I admit, Lilly is pretty stinkin cute… but have you ever thought about and read the TERMS of a photo contest? I ask you to PLEASE read ALL TERMS and CONDITIONS of every single place you submit your pictures to…including unwatermarked pictures on facebook, myspace, your personal blog etc.
I heard on the radio that a local radio station was doing a cute baby photo contest and that there’s tons of cash prizes and your child could be up on a billboard around town. How cool would that be? Everyone thinks “my kid is cute enough!! I’m going to enter!” Hold up!!
I heard the ad and even said to myself… “Lilly is super cute… I think I will enter”…
So I go to their website and read “terms and conditions” before uploading ANYTHING (please do the same thing!)… sure enough it’s the SAME terms and conditions as most contests you see around (like from costco, newspapers, etc)…
The following was taken directly from their site under rules:
“BY ENTERING THE CONTEST, YOU ARE VERIFYING THAT (1) YOU ARE THE PARENT AND/OR LEGAL GUARDIAN OF THE BABY IN THE SUBMITTED PHOTO, AND (2) THE OWNER AND PRODUCER OF THE SUBMITTED MATERIAL AND THAT NO THIRD PARTY OWNERSHIP RIGHTS EXIST TO THE PHOTOGRAPH SUBMITTED. BY ENTERING THE CONTEST, YOU ARE TRANSFERRING ALL OWNERSHIP RIGHTS OF YOUR SUBMITTED PHOTOGRAGH TO THE COMPANY, AS DEFINED ABOVE. YOUR SUBMITTED PHOTOGRAPHWILL NOT BE RETURNED AND YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO USE THE SUBMISSION FOR ANY COMMERCIAL USE AFTER IT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED.”
My niece, Maddie came to visit this week and I was so exited to do some shots of her in my studio in downtown La Mesa! Of course my parents wanted some pictures of her and also my little Lilly. I can’t believe Maddie is turning 7 next week… it feels like she was just born!
I can’t wait until my older niece comes to visit at the end of the month and I get to do more pictures of the three girls together!
PS… the girls are wearing their new Stella and Dot headbands from the little girls line! Aren’t they so cute?!!



















July 10, 2010 - 5:25 am - Hillary, Your pictures are absolutely breathtaking. I am so proud of you. You're going to be more accomplished than your Unc one day. Love you
July 10, 2010 - 9:13 am - Great pictures!

It’s back! You all asked for it again and I decided why not. We had so much fun at the last Free Photos for Facebook I decided to do it one more time in 2010! This time, I have different backdrops (gray will be the standard) to chose from. You will receive a complimentary photo on facebook tagged of you… you MUST be a fan of Stills by Hill Photography on Facebook to take advantage of this offer! You will be able to use this image on facebook, twitter, myspace and other websites such as jdate, eharmony, match.com, etc… and it’s free!
When?? July 18th from 11am-3pm. I can extend the time if needed.
Where? At the studio! 4711 Third St. La Mesa 91941. Meters are free on Sunday!
You need to reserve your spot. Sessions are about 10 minutes long and are for single subjects or a small group UP to 4 at the most. Kids will need to be photographed with parents.
Along with the complimentary image tagged of you on facebook, you will be able to purchase (at special pricing) additional files or prints.
Something cool: When you reserve your spot and do the session, you will receive a $25 discount on your holiday session!
