Your friend & photographer

From a young age, I’ve always been fascinated by how photography allows you freeze moments in time, and reminisce in your favorite memories. I’ve always felt most creative when I have a camera in my hands. Documenting love stories, forming relationships with clients, and creating lifelong friendships is what makes me feel like I have the best job in the world. I strive for my photos to evoke feelings of warm summer days, sun-kissed afternoons, and the thrill of falling in love all over again. Above all, I aim to create works of art from your special moments that will have you smiling ear to ear and belly laughing for years.

My work is inspired by the tones and textures of the earth, my travels, geometric shapes, soulfulness, and the perfectly imperfect. When I’m not documenting love stories, you can find me doing a DIY project, playing Pickleball, furthering my search for the world’s best spaghetti and meatballs, or sunbathing on a beach somewhere. I was born and raised in South Louisiana, but dream of traveling the world with my love, Austin.

what i’m all about

 

Relationship

I’ve always been a firm believer that friendship can be a catalyst for flourishing art. You wouldn’t want a stranger taking pictures on one of the most important days of your life. From the moment you inquire, until the big day, I want to learn what makes your hearts sing about each other. From your favorite pizza topping, to your great-aunt Linda’s dog’s name…I want to know it all!

Vulnerability

In order for me to capture your true selves, being vulnerable in front of the camera is a must. I want to see how the two of you act on a sunday afternoon cuddled up on the couch, watching your favorite movie. How you joke with each other, how you show love for one another. When you let your walls down, my creativity flourishes.

Authenticity

One of the best things about getting married is being able to celebrate your love the way you want to. There are no rules when it comes to your wedding day. You want feathers on your wedding dress? Great. You want to wear a hat instead of a veil? I’m here for it. Whether it be a ceremony with just the two of you, or a huge party with all your friends and family; let’s make the day of your dreams a reality.

  • Caroline

    “While her talent is unbelievable, the most special part has been the fact that she has been there through it all, camera in hand, snapping pictures for my little girl to cherish forever.”

  • Haley + Evan

    “Booking with Hillary was such an easy decision! I’ve always loved the color tones of her pictures, how real the moments are, and how comfortable we were throughout the shoot.”

  • Sabrina + Bryce

    “Not only is she THE best photographer I could ask for, but she is the most genuine, down-to-earth, sweetest human there is. She has a way of capturing such raw, candid, REAL moments, all while making you feel so comfortable that you forget you’re at a shoot.”

  • Keely + Josh

    “We scheduled with Hillary before COVID and had to change our wedding date a couple of times and Hillary was always super flexible and worked with me every step of the way. SHE IS AMAZING!!”

  • Katie + Alex

    “From our two engagement sessions to wedding day, Hillary was there cheering us on and doing what she does best: capturing those raw and honest moments with her camera. Hillary is much more than a photographer to her clients and we couldn’t have asked for more than that!”
