Hey new followers, I'm Hilary! 👋🏻 I am a wife, a mom to 3 little boys (twins + 1), and a nature enthusiast. While I was born in Florida, my heart is in the mountains and I love exploring with my little family.

1. My love of photography started at a young age because my dad was a St. Pete Times photographer for 30 years
2. The first (and only) marathon I ran was in Seattle, 8 years before I even considered living here.
3. I’ve been line dancing since college and recently got back into it after a hiatus
4. I don’t like feet touching me, French Fries, or potato chips
5. I met my husband Brighton through Airbnb (kind of… ask me for the story sometime!)
6. I am a licensed real estate broker.
7. We have a cat named Diggles and he has no teeth.
8. I have read nearly 70 books this year.
9. I did 52 Hikes in 52 Weeks in 2018

Congratulations to the Class of 2022 🎉 // During Emilie's session, we had wind, clouds, sun, and freezing temps-- but you'd never know based on her stunning smile!

Hey, hey! I’m Hilary 👋🏻 It's been a minute since I've introduced myself and quite a few things have changed around here. ⁠Here are 5 quick tidbits about me! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
1) I am a to two adorable boys, Jacob & Lucas. They are 3 months old right now and Brighton and I are soaking up every moment of that baby life. 👶🏻👶🏻⁠⁠
⁠⁠
2) I’m a Floridian. 🌴 I was raised in Florida, moved out to Salt Lake City after I graduated college, and eventually moved to the Seattle area with my husband in 2018. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
3) I don't like potato chips or french fries... but I LOVE mashed potatoes. 🥔 For some reason, fried potatoes are not my jam, but if you bring me a box of Cheez-Its, I will devour them in one sitting. 😳 ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
4) When I was 18, I ran a marathon with my sister ! We trained separately since she was living in Washington and I was living in Florida, and we met up in Seattle to run the Seattle Rock N' Roll Marathon. It was my first visit to Washington, and over a decade later, it's now my home. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
⁠5) I love hiking! My happy place is in the mountains with epic views and fresh air. A couple of years ago, Brighton and I did the and did 52 hikes for the year. It's one of my favorite parts of living in the Pacific Northwest. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Now I want to know about you-- Tell me something about you! 😊

Last weekend, Nicole & Scott made the most of out of the snow in Seattle. Even though they're from Arizona, they feel at home in the snow. :)
