Newborn/Maternity Special

For the rest of December and January, newborn sessions will be 25% off!



Just a reminder that we really want to take those sleepy newborn pictures in the first two weeks of life--even better the first week! So if you know your due date and would like newborn pictures taken, book your session now and then we can finalize the time and date after the little makes his or her appearance.

And because I have not done as many maternity shoots and would like to add more to my portfolio, maternity shoots will be 50% through the end of January! Maternity photos are best taken around the 8th month.


Email me with questions!

Also, these sessions make a GREAT gift! My mom bought us a newborn session when Jordan was born and I'm so glad she did! Even as a photographer, I was too worn out those first couple of weeks to do as good of a job as I wanted to. A gift certificate for a session would be a perfect shower or Christmas gift!

Slideshow...featuring Charlotte!

Just a reminder that slideshows of your sessions are available. This would make a great Christmas gift! The first copy of your high-res DVD with a customized cover is $30 and each additional copy is $15. You can choose your own song or let me pick for you.

Here's another example using baby Charlotte's newborn pictures!

Winner

I'm so late in posting this, but our winner is.......

Carolyn!

I tried to get Xavier to pick the number for me, but he was too busy playing with his green playdough for Christmas, so I used random.org to choose the winner.

Carolyn chose the Peace photo as her gift!

And finally we get to...Luke and Bryn!

So we've had a crazy week here in the Hill household. My husband is the athletic director and 8th grade teacher at his school and they were putting on a basketball tournament this week. He estimated tonight that he was at school about 80 hours this week! So you can imagine how much extra time I had on the computer for editing with my two little men with less help from my other half...um, not so much! My two year old Xavier was actually crying on the way home last night, "Daddy got to go to work, Daddy got to teach the kids..."

The point of all of that was to say, Luke and Bryn, I'm sorry these took so long! :)

These two just got engaged two weeks ago and so after we shot Luke's family's session, we also got some engagement pictures of them! I have to say that I was quite impressed with Luke's proposal and all the thought and planning that went into it. God's blessings to the two of you as you prepare for the wedding and marriage and I hope you love these photos!!

The Hirsch family

I wouldn't normally shoot on Thanksgiving Day, but this family was only going to have that day to be together and we were able to work it in on my way to my family gathering. They had not all been together for over 2 years and traveled in from Oregon, Wisconsin, and Germany! I could definitely tell how much fun they have together and how happy they were to be together for the holiday! Lots of laughter at this shoot!













We also did some engagement photos for Luke and Bryn who had been engaged for less than a week! But we will give them their own post...

Cousins

**Giveaway below...scroll down**

Tracey is in her first year of teaching, far away from her family as she lives down in Dallas, Texas. So when she was back home for Thanksgiving break, she really wanted a chance to get together with her family and take some photos that reflect her family's love and energy. We especially took a lot of photos of the six cousins and you can see just how much fun they have together.

The girls


The boys

And this would be the first time that someone broke out with some Beyonce at a photo shoot of mine. Look at the boys' faces! :)


Oh, and Tyra too?!
Isn't it so cute how little Olivia wants to be just like her older cousins?



The six cousins have their names on a brick in front of the fountain at the World's Fair Pavilion (their foot is by their name in this picture).


I like their shadows!

And since our shoot location was the site of the 1904 World's Fair, we'll make that same picture a little vintage...

I had a lot of fun with your family! Thank you! Pictures of the bigger group/parents coming later!
