Valentine Mini-Sessions- San Diego Children’s Photographer

Here it is! Here is your chance to get in on a quick (but fun) valentines mini-session from NOW until Feb. 14 at our La Mesa studio! The sessions will be outdoors but possibly do some in-studio shots-especially if it’s raining. Remember to have the kids wear pinks and reds and accessories are a must! I have tutu’s and petticoats–so those are available if you need them :)

The Session is $110 and includes up to 30 minutes of shooting, one child (each additional $15) and an 8×10 art print ($60 value) and 10% off additional prints and products! This is a HUGE savings! I also have custom valentines cards you can purchase.

Please call us 619-466-9918 or email hillary@stillsbyhill.com to reserve your time spot!

Halloween mini-sessions *updated* – San Diego Children’s Photographer

I feel incredibly generous. I don’t know why, but I think it’s because I am SO flippin excited to open the studio. Who benefits… YOU ALL!

The Halloween Mini-sessions are going to be SO much fun! What did I change? I added a 4×6 print to the mix. I know.. awesome, huh? That’s a $35 product as my gift to you :)

Please note that this is ONLY for the Halloween mini-shoot I am doing. My sessions are normally $250 on weekdays and $350 on weekends and mini sessions normally run $175/ish. I will frequently be doing these quick mini-sessions monthly at the new place, but not always giving away a free print.

Sales tax will be added on. You can pay with cash, check or visa/mc.

Additional prints and products will be available at 10% off. Under 8×10 prints are $35 each. 8×10’s are $55. Please inquire for additional sizes and rates.

Halloween Mini-Session- San Diego Children’s Photographer

Can you believe it? Halloween is officially THIS MONTH! I am blown away how quickly it has come!

What’s even bigger news? I am officially in the new studio! It’s really a client meeting space since I still shoot on-location and not in a studio…but I like to call it my studio.

We will be moving furniture over officially the week of October 5th–and scheduling client meetings after Friday October 9th!

The new studio address:

4711 Third St. La Mesa, CA 91941

Note that we are open by appointment only.

Well–I am in the new studio, and it’s Halloween time, and you have a cute love bug dressed as a pirate, a witch, a monkey or whatever they may be… bring them down to the studio October 30th between 3pm-5pm for a quick mini-shoot! Sessions will be outdoors (just like the ones in the picture) and be about 5 minutes in length. The fee is $30 for up to 3 children. Past 3, the fee is $10 per child. You will receive online viewing of the pictures, and a special 10% off print rate.

Rates for Halloween prints before the discount:

Set of 8 wallets: $25 | Below 8×10: $35 | 8×10: $55 | 11×14 mounted on styrene: $125

What’s the coolest part? Simply bring in your receipt from the session when you reserve your spot for your family session and you will receive $30 off your creation fee for your family session! You are getting your Halloween session free!

The nitty gritty: First come, first serve. Children must be in costumes. This is not a family session, sorry. No additional discounts (teachers, military, friend & family, etc) apply.

You are welcome to just show up, but it would be super awesome if you could either call me 619-466-9918 or email hillary@stillsbyhill.com to reserve your spot so I know how much treats to have for kiddie-o’s!

I look forward to seeing you there!

Now what should I dress as??

Zoe and Garrett…too cute!

I photographed Zoe and Garrett as part of the mini-sessions this past weekend. What ham’s they were for me! I love it. We had so much fun together. As long as I don’t ask Garrett to run with his sister, we were fine. Here are some of my favorites…
