Stills by Hill Photography

I have been holding off on posting this adorable family session because and I’m so excited to finally blog it! How beautiful is this family? I mean honestly– can you see these girls in like 18 years? Mom & dad are in trouble! Anyway I did their on-location portrait session in Balboa Park and the tutu’s were a big hit. The 20×30 canvas of the girls is AMAZING!

Thanks guys!

You know a few weeks ago I announced my in-studio style sessions I am now offering at my La Mesa photography studio. I am located right in the heart of downtown La Mesa in the village right on Third and La Mesa Blvd… I couldn’t ask for a more PRIME location! (I know… I haven’t posted pictures yet! I will!) Anyway, I recently added these sessions to my menu of offerings. I am not one of those generic in-studio photographers you see in the mall. I am not a quickie, cheap, cookie cuter photographer where you can come in, sit in front of a wall of 30 backdrops, spend 10-20 minutes on your session, and see your images 20 minutes later. I put a lot of creativity, time, energy, effort, thought and my heart into every session I do. I feel that every session I do is a part of not only me, but a piece each family is going to have with them forever. The goal is not “lets take facebook photos” (although I do have that session coming up July 18th) or “lets take snapshots to put 8×10 desk prints on the wall”… the goal is to provide each of my clients with a unique & high end experience that they will not only have fun at, but want to keep coming back again and again.

In-studio style sessions are another line of options for you to have me photograph you and your family. A lot of people have asked for it through the past year and I decided I am going to give you what you ask for. The studio was all moved around (no more play room, sorry). These sessions are pretty unique. You will find yourself either on a white high-key set up, on a warm gray background while sitting on a sofa with your family, or sitting on the wood flooring interacting together. I am able to do head shots, business profiles, smaller family sessions, single subject’s on other backgrounds, newborns, dogs, in-studio boudoir (coming soon… not yet!), and all my mini-sessions so time of day is not important.

Anyway back to the original post! Today (with pink eye and all) I had my husband bring our daughter in to do an example of how they look. My daughter was testing out my high-key white, along with the warm gray. I love how they came out. No-I did not put her glasses on. She marched into my studio with them on ready to rock it. Cute huh?

Please contact me to reserve your spot for an in-studio style session… they are way fun and COMPLETELY different! If you are in a year of picture package we can always do your next session there… it’s definitely preferred for those babies who are not sitting up.

I have been photographing little miss Ronni since she was a few months old How can I NOT want to photograph this little doll? Now that I am offering in-studio sessions, I thought I would post a quick sample of a quick mini session in the studio.

Please contact me for pricing for the mini sessions and also promotions for sessions I have going on!

Meet little A & E. They are both SO adorable! I went and did their on-location portrait session in their home (my favorite place for sessions) and we had so much fun! A was so mello and just went with the flow! E was shy at first but then was my new best friend when I left. I mean seriously– they are SO adorable!

Remember little Liam and Juliet’s newborn session? Now they are 6 months old and are growing up quick! We did a mixture of their family session at Balboa Park, and then some in-studio shots for the babies. I do suggest the in-studio shots for the babies not sitting up as opposed to being outdoors… or do them in your home. Babies don’t like laying on cold cement! LOL. I can’t wait for their one year sessions! Maybe a trash the cake?

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.

Please use this page to contact me to hold your spot, or give me a call 619-466-9918

Remember, if you are a fan of ours on facebook, you will have your images uploaded there so you can tag yourself in them!

I have no words to describe little C and his cuteness. Seriously any agencies out there in search of one of the CUTEST little blonde haired boys around– here you go. We took a little stroll around Coronado Island and picked at trees, ran and smelled the flowers together. Aimee, I LOVED photographing you guys… I look forward to more sessions!

We had our first annual halloween mini-shoot on October 30th here at the new studio and it was SO much fun! All the little ones running around definitely broke in the new pad It was very hard picking the best ones to show, but I don’t think any of these kids can take a bad picture!

I find it funny (maybe a bit sad) I don’t have a picture of my little love bug (er– witch) from the session Bad mommy!

Enjoy!

See you all next year!
