About Hilary
My background is steeped in photography. I studied the History and Criticism of Art with a side of black-and-white film photography in University with the ultimate goal of wanting to be an Art Director of a magazine. Going into an industry that was shrinking, not thriving, pushed me in a different direction, but, ultimately after nearly 15 years in corporate America, I decided to put my degree to good use. My technical background gives me the freedom to capture you in your element no matter the lighting or situation.
“We had such a great time at our session. And we absolutely LOVE the photos!”
FALL MINI SESSION MOMMA
Five fast facts.
My passion is female empowerment. Working in predominantly male fields, I had a habit of creating ERG’s for things like ‘Women in Sales’. One of my goals with HWP is female-focused shoots - branding, mother sessions, headshots + networking, etc.
I was born in Boston, raised in Florida, moved to Italy for a year at 18, and somehow landed in NYC in my early 20s and never left.
My corporate life was building an Enablement function from the ground up at smaller tech companies. It’s just a fancy term for training and development.
Teaching kids the art of photography is something I’ve recently thrown myself into. I am currently teaching students in grades 3+ the basics in digital photography.
Laughing makes my soul happy. That is it.
