I have been wanting a studio for a long time. The room in my old home was just too small but here in Washington we picked this house because of its “studio.” Well, that wasnt the only reason but it was definitely a perk.
also, the first person to book will receive a free mini album as a thank you!
About Hilary!
Hi there! Thanks for taking a gander at my pretty photos, I do work hard on them afterall. :)
I am a wedding and newborn photographer located in the lovely DuPont, Washington. I love to lindy hop and eat cooler ranch Doritos. I love weddings and babies in Olympia, Tacoma, Seattle, Portland and Whidbey Island. If you dont live in one of those spots I bet I would come to where you're located to document your special days.
Not sure if any of you saw the awesome post on Seattle's Craigslist recently but this response was pretty... http://t.co/atDBl1RC

Valentines Day Mini Session!
January 4th, 2012Julia & Jason | Beloved | Olympia Couples Photographer
January 4th, 2012Jason is moving away to college in a few weeks and Julia wanted to take some photos to send with him. I thought that was a fantastic idea so I obliged. We met up in Olympia at the state Capitol building. Its a LOT prettier then Raleigh’s capitol building. Plus everything is green and wonderful.
Happy New Year!
January 1st, 2012I hope your 2012 is 10,000 times better than 2011. :)
Merry Christmas from the Mercer’s!
December 25th, 2011This year has been absolutely wonderful. I have had the privilege to meet so many new, awesome people. You guys are awesome for trusting me in your families memories. I truly appreciate you. Thank you.
This year instead of posting my favorites from the year Ill post a few of the kid I created this year. He’s adorable and I dont blog about him here because well, I was a photographer first. Not a mom. The roles have reversed a bit now, cause he needs a lot more attention than my business but I dont like mixing them all the same. Here are some of my favorites from this month. We’ve had fun with the Christmas theme.
Hannah and Peter | Olympia Wedding Photographer | Jacob Smith House
December 4th, 2011
Hannah and Peter found me through very unusual circumstances, Twitter. Her best friend Rachelle sent out a tweet trying to find someone available for the weekend after Thanksgiving and I happily replied. They got married at a cute little spot in Lacey, Washington - The Jacob Smith House. Its a cute little spot and is apparently one of the oldest buildings in all of Thurston County. It was the perfect setting for their wedding. Hannah really loves Peter. So much in fact that shes going to have his baby in April. So as you’re looking at these photos make sure you think “dang! that girl looks good!” Because she does. She is rocking that wedding dress. Hannah is a hottie. Peter likes beer and lasagne. He brewed three different types of beer for the wedding AND rootbeer. I think I drank more of that rootbeer than the kids did. It was scrummy. Peter sent me home with a bottle of his “I Do Brew” and my husband said it was quite scrummy as well. . When I first met with the lovebirds they were afraid of the rain. To be honest I was too and still am, definitely something I am going to have to get used to living in Washington. All the same, it was awesome out. Well, the sun wasnt out but there wasnt any rain and I liked the overcast skies. It was a bit chilly though.
Isnt her dress the bomb?
Also, as she was putting on her shoes she said “who says you cant find wedding shoes at Costco?” It made me laugh. Cute and comfy.
Peter gave her Dolce & Gabana’s Light Blue perfume. Her favorite Seattle Storm player wears it. I just love all the faces she made in only a minute.
love the kiddos looking in on them..
Her mom made all the cupcakes!
The alteration bill was almost as much as the dress… so she got cheap heels. 
You two rock. Keep on loving eachother and Ill see you in a few months for more photos!
