May Baby Promo- San Diego Newborn and Baby Photographer

Hillary Gustaveson

The Watch Me Grow program is one of my most popular selections for expectant moms who call me for a newborn or maternity session.

Mazel Tov, Elijah! – San Diego Photographer

Hillary Gustaveson

Elijah celebrated became a Bar Mitzvah last month, and I was so honored to be able to photograph the family portraits and a little in the synagogue. Aren’t they a beautiful family? I am so happy I was able to get portraits of his grandparents with him… he is so lucky they were able to…

The Pachoe Family- San Diego Family Photographer

Hillary Gustaveson

I absolutely LOVE how these portraits came out of the Pachoe family. They are seriously a model family…they totally know how to work the camera. We did their session down at Petco Park on a foggy afternoon but I worked my reflector like you wouldn’t believe. If you aren’t using a reflector on your sessions…

Welcome baby Luke – San Diego Newborn Baby Photographer

Hillary Gustaveson

Oh sweet Luke! I am SO excited to be able to document this cutie pie’s first year. He was one of the *easiest* babies I have photographed as he slept almost the WHOLE time (except when he pooped ALL OVER mom, then peed on dad and his sister) but everyone (even sister) just went with…

Happy birthday Dylan! – San Diego Child Photographer

Hillary Gustaveson

OMG isn’t Dylan so cute?! We had originally planned that his birthday session would be like most of my other birthday sessions where we do a cake smash after portraits. No, Dylan had his own agenda for portraits. You would never know he was a little under the weather that afternoon by the adorable portraits…

Hillary Gustaveson

I can’t believe a year has flown by since I started photographing Andrew since his newborn session! I have loved meeting this family and capturing them– through Dad’s deployment and his arrival it has been wonderful. I can’t wait to see their album once it arrives, and I l-o-v-e seeing my art all over their…

The Hansen Family- San Diego Family Photographer

Hillary Gustaveson

My sister and her family came to visit during Christmas time and of course they got their family session in. This was my nephew’s first visit to San Diego and my brother in law wanted to shoot down at Petco park (I shoot there often.) I love how they came out 🙂 I think she…

Welcome baby Sophia – San Diego Newborn Photographer

Hillary Gustaveson

Finally I have had a chance to blog Sophia’s newborn portraits. She was such an easy baby to photograph… she’s absolutely beautiful and slept perfectly for me. I mean except for her hiccups right when I needed her sleeping she was perfect! I am so excited to watch her grow up. She is very lucky…
