I have photographed the Woolley family before and I love when I photograph a family again because the kids are totally used to me and open up so much quicker. They came for one of the Mother’s Day portrait sessions and had fun running around and climbing on mom 🙂 Joann teaches Baby Sign (Sign4Baby)…

Another baby complete from the Watch Me Grow program! I photographed Z in the hospital, her newborn session, 6 mo, Valentine’s day and her birthday session! I loved watching her grow this past year and develop into this adorable sweet little girl. She is so lucky to have such wonderful parents who love her more…

Every now and then I will run a promo like this– then I get swamped and wonder why I am so busy! Silly me– everyone loves some studio credit toward their product order! The summer is a great time to do your portrait sessions– especially for the holidays. Every year I have clients take advantage…

I can’t believe we are complete with Callie’s 1st year of portraits! I captured M’s maternity session, the day after Callie was born in the hospital, her newborn, 6 month, Valentine’s session, birthday party and her 12 month family session. Yea I love this little bug (how can you not!?!?) I absolutely love providing a…

I am a tad jealous that this family is lucky enough to have grandma/great grandma around for family portraits. I got a little emotional while editing these thinking how much I miss my grandma, and how much she would love to have met my daughter. This is exactly why I do what I do– I love to…

I *finally* was able to photograph the Freitas family for Mother’s day after a few broken bones and surgeries kept pushing back our regular sessions we had scheduled. The kids were silly like all kids are, but super adorable! I’m so happy grandma came for the portrait session so she could get beautiful portraits with…

Did my professional headshots with Hillary and they turned out better than I could’ve imagined. I hate taking professional photos and she made me feel so comfortable and made the whole experience pleasant. She’s quick - sent me the pictures in a quick turnaround. Highly recommend!!!

Hillary was such a pleasure to work with on the holiday photos we took with her. Our kiddos kept us on our toes the entire time and we had concerns we wouldn't get very great shots due to their unwillingness to cooperate at times, but Hillary worked her magic and knew how to get a smile out of them when it mattered most and snapped the photo in time to catch it. You'd think our session consisted of such well behaved toddlers! Her studio is located in a convenient area and her communication about her process was so detailed when I first reached out - I knew exactly what to expect and boy, did she deliver. Highly recommend!

Hillary is incredibly talented, professional, and so fun and easy to work with! In addition to taking beautiful photos, she captures the mood and the emotion behind every shot. She is not only a great photographer but she is so helpful with everything from making sure the setting and scheduling works, making me and my family feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera, and guiding me through the product ordering process. Every time I've worked with Hillary has been amazing. No need to look elsewhere, Stills by Hill Photography is it!

Hillary did an excellent job with my author headshots and was very receptive to my ideas. She is easy to work with and the results were amazing!

Possibly the best photographer ever! From newborn pictures to senior photos and all the milestones in between, Hillary captures the moment exquisitely and provides a finished product of the highest quality. We lost our son and found that the moments captured in pictures were a great source of comfort and help every day through the grieving process.

My personal experience with Stills by Hill Photography was nothing but impeccable. The communication between myself and Hillary was both professional and proficient. When getting my headshot, I had no need to fake a smile. If you're looking for a photographer, I could not recommend Stills by Hill Photography enough.

I met Hillary over 10 years ago at a mommy and me class being held at her studio. After seeing her work I inquired about a Halloween portrait event she was having and she took the most amazing outdoor natural light photos of my then 15 month old daughter. 5 years later she gave me priceless 4 generational photos of my daughter, myself my mother and my grandmother. Fast forward to 2023 & she’s still documenting my now 16 year old and my family annually and the photos are the most priceless thing I am so proud to be able to pass to my children. I have to say the most beautiful thing is that my children both know her by name, they looks forward to seeing Hillary and the warm and friendly feeling that makes them SO comfortable is why her talent is so incredibly showcased in every photo she takes. My children’s personalities (lol) are so genuine, we always look great and I’ve never recommended anyone more or cherished a service more than I do stills by hill.You won’t find a better person to document your life.

I am so glad I made an appointment with Hillary to take my still photo for my business. She had the enthusiasm out of this world and it shows. Thank you, Hillary! Keep up the amazing work. Which I'm sure doesn't feel like work when you love what you do!
