Here you go! You asked for it and I added an extra day for you to have your spring time on-location san diego portraits done. The location will be announced to those who book and your time slot will be given then too.

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!

Va Va Voom! Now is your chance to take advantage of the savings for your on-location san diego boudoir session! I come to your home and do them but you are welcome to do them at a hotel. If you need your product by Valentines day, you need to do your session by January 18th to avoid a rush fee. You will receive an 8×10 art print, two 5×7 prints and a session that will boost your self esteem and give your boyfriend/fiance/husband something to hold onto forever. Seriously- it is a LOT of fun and VERY tasteful You don’t NEED to do it for Valentines day– if you just got engaged or are getting married soon– take advantage of the savings! Hurry because this won’t last long!

Contact Hillary today 619-466-9918 for more details and to schedule your consultation!

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.

If you are on facebook, please RSVP on the invite HERE, or you can email me. You are welcome to just show up, but I do like to know approximately how many people will be there.

Please remember your children need to be in costume. The price includes up to three children. Additional children are $10 each.

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.

If I get a big RSVP, I will be moving the time up to 2pm to accommodate everyone.

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!
