Stills by Hills

I got into shooting when my oldest niece (who’s now 11) was born. I was in high school photography at the time and got marked down on projects (in college too) because I didn’t “have enough variety” in my shooting (they wanted me to shoot landscape, products, abstract etc) since all I wanted to photograph was people! I got my degree in interior design but decided to go back to my original passion of photography 3 years ago!

What got you into wedding/portrait photography?
I grew up assisting my mom in her videography business, and my uncle was also a photographer/tv director so it’s in my blood. I LOVE photographing people- especially children and the weddings sort of fell into my lap when I was asked to photograph a friends wedding when I opened the business. Capturing the emotion between a bride and groom is just so sweet.

What are your favorite types of subjects to shoot and why?
Children…I have SO much fun with them and love trying to capture their thoughts and letting them do fun things a normal mall studio wouldn’t allow them to do– like jump in puddles

What is your favorite piece of photographic equipment?
my 70-200 2.8 L is my FAVORITE lens– it’s my baby. I am so comfortable shooting with it (though my hands hurt the next day!)

What ProDPI products do you use?
everything! I love the prints, the standouts and the cards!!

Are there any ProDPI products that have enabled your success?
Everything has… the rep cards being so affordable and the press cards without envelopes have been great tools for networking with vendors
