susie maybery: I'm in love with " Frankinstein" The Cougar - Great pictures. XXOO

charlene malone: Hillary, Your delightful and creative photography of Conor and Kelly's wedding captured that wonderful day perfectly. But what I truly appreciated was how quickly you had the slideshow and sampling of the photos on line for viewing. My sister and I were disappointed that she couldn't attend the wedding so being able to share in the event within a week meant so much! Thank you for that. Sincerely, Charlene Malone

lael: Hello Hilary love your site, finding it very inspiring. I am considering setting up a home studio to try and get some nice kids portraits like the beaming ones on your mini sessions! wonder if you could explain in detail what your set up is as pictured in your studio image, can see seamless backdrop and perspex? on floor what lighting how many soft boxes do you use in the shoots are there other lights etc, what kind, size you recommend, lenses for these shots etc. Thank you kindly,

Tammie Gilchrist: "I feel that post processing, whether people like to admit it or not, makes or breaks a photographer." I am quoting this from the 'photographers' link on your site and saying how right on you are about this...I am hoping to second shoot with an old friend of mine and although she's a kind person her images she produces to her clients just are not what they could be if she spent time doing a little fixing..minor stuff like evening out skin, fixing exposure, etc. My personal work (mostly portraits) do get a little PS treatment, not a lot, but just enough to be flattering. Just that slight fix really makes a big difference and people recognize it. Your work is beautiful --- Tammie

Katherine: I have your blog marked as a "favorite" because I love all your tips/advise for photographers! Thank you for sharing! Your pictures are SO inspiring and breath taking! Sorry I keep coming up with questions..but here is another one from NC...do you use a noise reduction solfware on your pix? If so, please tell me more.

amy elle: Looking at these pix makes me a little sad. I grew up on that beach. Beautiful pics. A

susie maybery: Love the pink chair and i would love the job - if I had any skills. GM

Katie Feldman: Hello! I'm doing an independent school project on photography, and I just wanted to say that your tips for photographing kids have been super helpful! I love your work, and I see the hard work you've put into it. I do have one question, do you have any great tips for photographing teenagers? Please let me know! Once again, looking at the photos you've taken has helped me. I think to myself, "maybe one day, I can be as good as her!" (:

Heather McGregor: Who is that adorable child??We had a great time doing the shoot and as always you made Cassidy look fabulous! love, Heather

susie maybery: She really looks like her mom. Finally a picture of Presly. GM/MOM

Robbin Gilligan: As Jack's step mom and a HUGE fan of Collen, these engagement photos make my heart sing. You are fabulous to capture their love, warmth, character and beauty in these photos of a lifetime, Joy and happiness.

Keely: I love the new colors for the welcoming of you blog! But you need to add a picture to the top again! When we stop by it isn't just to see the latest and greatest, we want to see your face smiling and loving your job!! ;)

Regina: Hillary~Thank you thank you thank you. I could use the whole space to say thank you. Gene Reese and I are sooo appreciative of you for coming to our house today for our first photoshoot for Ms. Reese. You are amazing and we are so excited to see the pictures. Thanks for taking the time to drive to Hailey, hang in our sweat shop until Reese decided to konk out...your patience is something golden! Hope you have a great time in SF and we will see you soon! XO XO XO

Brie W: I started looking at your blog because of Keely and Kaya and now I can't get enough! I check it out every day to see if you have posted any new pics... You are SO amazing and talented and I love your work!

susie maybery: Sorry you couldn't make my birthday party that Billy and Sam hosted - but don't worry about Mother's Day - they are taking me on a cruise. You did a beautiful job on this wedding. Love MOM

Audrey: Hillary - you make me want to get married again (luckily to the same guy) and have another baby just for the photos! :) Your gorgeous photos are simply amazing. Thanks for letting the vivid colors infiltrate our lives, your beautiful images capture lifes great moments. This is a stellar blog and so entertaining. Thank you, see you soon.

susie maybery: Grandma eats for both Presly & Mark - and loves Vodka. Enjoyed the new websites. XXOO

erika hill: hillary, amazing times in mexico. i had a blast hanging w/you & kristin & i'm dying to see all the pics of lauren & travis' wedding!!!! you are the bomb, we love you :)

susie maybery: WOW- you are totally getting the "joy and love"from all your Mom's weddings. Fabulous photos. XX00.

Katherine: HI Hillary, As a new photographer here in Asheville NC I am always learning and love to follow your website for inspiration. So may I ask you a question?... Do you know a company that makes flush mount (hard page) photo books? Thank you for your time. Katherine

I want to thank photographer Craig Wolfrom teaming up with me - your photos are awesome!  Flowers by Tara Bella, she always does a fabulous job!

Adriana Klas: OMG! Hillary this is amazing! I just watched it and now I am crying! It was so beautiful and so well done! You are seriously so amazing at what you do. I want to be an amazing photographer just like you! Just beautiful and wonderful!

I always send an email to the bride and groom asking about there wedding a couple days later…a favorite moment or funny one, about the dress, why Sun Valley, how they met, wedding vendors they chose, and etc…  This is what I received from Robin….  “What a perfect way to start our lives together. It couldn’t have been better in my dreams. The weather, the scenery, the friends and family and most importantly a stunningly beautiful bride. If I was casting a wedding movie Allison would have won the part. I knew the I wanted to spend the rest of my days with her within a week of knowing her so it was a fantasy come to life when I first saw her striding towards me right down the middle of my childhood wiffle ball field. Feeling the cool breeze relaxed my nerves as I gazed into magical green eyes and I gripped her hands tight.  I felt nervous but she gently rubbed the inside of my hands and it relaxed me and reminded me that this is my true love and we are about to commit to eachother for life.   Marriage is a big decision maybe the most important one in a lifetime.  As I vowed to love this person forever I couldn’t have been more certain and happy about taking this woman’s hand and strolling off into the sunset of eternal love land together. “………It could be to sappy for a Guy to write. What do you think? …Thanks again, Robin.

Robin and Allison I enjoyed every moment of being in your love story and inviting me into your lives, it truly was a beautiful day. I can’t wait to see where life takes you and I look forward skiing with you when you move back to Sun Valley this winter.  Love, Hillary XOXO

This summer I have a few small and intimate weddings. These couples just want beautiful portraits of the two of them in scenic Idaho on their wedding day. Carrie and Mike’s wedding was very simple, mostly family and some close friends to celebrate up in Stanley at the Idaho Rocky Mountain Ranch. We had the beautiful backdrop of the Sawtooth Mountains, big puffy white clouds, and lot’s of sunshine (it poured most of the day in Sun Valley),  it was a wonderful afternoon!…..I had an incredible time photographing them…

from Shelley,   ….”what  a light show that night!!!!  I am sticking to my story—Jess’s grandma passed away a little over a year ago and she was very devout in her faith.  I think she was upstairs with God saying I might have missed the wedding but let’s show them I am with them in spirit…Mimi was a very special woman and very close to Jessica.”
