Stills by Hill Photography

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!

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?!!

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!

Here’s ONE of the big announcements you have been waiting for! I have added In-Studio sessions!

I am of course offering on-location sessions still.. those are my pride and joy! These in-studio sessions are going to take place in my studio in downtown La Mesa and are available by appointment only. These are for newborn sessions, Watch Me Grow (year of picture) packages, babies, toddlers, cake sessions, kids, and headshots. Know that I can not do a family larger then 3– 4 is the absolute MAX I can shoot in the studio. Doing your family session in studio is COMPLETELY different then on-location… you aren’t really focused on “interacting” as much as you are with the on-location sessions.

The same product pricing remains in affect (available at your consultation) but the creation fee is $250 for in-studio. This is $100 less then on-location. No worries about weather, wind, the sun etc. This is *introductory* pricing and can change at any time.

As a promotion, reserve your session in the studio and receive 10% off your creation fee! You *must* book by June 30!

If you guessed the new baby sibling for Maggie & Carson was a girl you were right! Little Eleanor was born a few weeks ago and is just too cute! It was a pretty rainy day so we couldn’t go outside and do the big family shots, but we were able to take advantage of the nice natural light coming into their home. I can’t wait to see her grow this year and photograph her stages!

Thanks mom & dad for allowing me to capture your new little love bug!

Here is your chance to take advantage of some of San Diego’s most beautiful summer locations and get your on-location family portrait session done while the weather is beautiful and I am not super booked up like I am from August until December! Now is your chance to get your family session not only at a HUGE savings, but also including a complimentary 8×10 art print! Once my holiday card line comes out in August, you can also order your custom holiday cards and be all set when the holidays roll around!

Please contact me HERE to send me an email and schedule your consultation in the studio. I am only allowing THREE sessions per week (Monday to Saturday) so please prepare in advance! This is NOT a mini session

You are a mom. You work HARD. You get little sleep, little time for yourself and spend your “free time” wondering what “free time” even is anymore. This will be my 2nd Mothers Day and I am so thankful I am having a little tea party here in the studio for moms to come enjoy themselves from 10am until 12pm on Tuesday, May 11th. There’s no cost and I have a play room for kids to play in while you enjoy your tea.

Please feel free to bring a friend or two!

If you book your consultation while you are here, you will receive a complimentary print with your paid session

Yes, it is a free event, but I do need you to still RSVP. You can email me at hillary@stillsbyhill.com, tweet me @stillsbyhill , or RSVP on the facebook fan page by May 9th.

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!

Little miss Charlie is one of the most beautiful baby girls I have met. I photographed her parent’s wedding (remember the fun shoes? You can see it here) and I was SO happy for them when I heard they were expecting. Charlie is so lucky to have such wonderful parents…they are so sweet. I can’t wait to see what a beauty this little one grows up to become! Thanks Timber & Chris!
