I cannot say enough good things about Hillarry and her photography. We have used her twice now for newborn photos starting with our daughter and most recently our son. She immediately makes you feel comfortable and is so good with the babies. I highly recommend her! read more

Amazing photographer that works out of her home studio but has her stuff together and has options for clothing and props for you. She was extremely nice and will tailor your baby's photoshoot to your style and won't do any type of shots you're not comfortable with doing. Our newborn photos turned out amazing and we couldn't have been happier! Definitely would recommend Silver Bee Photography! read more

Can't recommend enough! She is so good with little ones, handles them safely, and has a comfortable waiting area for mom and dad to relax in. The process was easy and the photos were gorgeous. Absolutely worth the cost, newborns are so precious and grow up fast! read more

Hillarrys photos are absolutely beautiful . How she manages to get such gorgeous poses is a feat of amazement. she truly is the baby whisperer of photographers. We are so happy with my granddaughters beautiful newborn photos ( I purchased a package for my daughter's baby shower ) and would highly recommend Silver Bee , it was worth every penny! Beautiful just beautiful! read more

As a first time parent, I was skeptical about newborn photos. Sure I've seen family and friends take them but I wasn't convinced that I wanted to spend the time or the money to have them for our child. After all, I have a phone and a DSLR. However, my partner was adamant that we get some and I quickly obliged(happy spouse, happy house). Our birth plan took a huge turn when my partner needed an emergency C section and our child ended up in the NICU. As the bills rolled in and the recover was harder and more arduous then expected, we highly considered cutting our losses and cancelling the photo session due to the stress and trauma of birth. But, that's not where this story ends. Hillarry (Silver Bee Photography) was both accommodating and responsive. We corresponded by email and she was flexible with our schedule. At the newborn session, HIllarry was warm and friendly. Her studio is beautifully equipped and she has a sitting area with water and bathroom for the parents. She helped direct us and was firm but not pushy. Baby Whisper is what I read in other reviews and that could not be more true. Our child was relaxed with Hillarry and the photo session seemed to fly by. We got some family photos along with our newborn ones. Photos were sent out a couple weeks after and they are beautiful!! I am so happy that we ended up doing this photo session with Hillarry(Silver Bee Photography). She is incredible patient and has a keen eye for photography. It is tough, now a days, to find people who are truly passionate about their field/profession. Hillarry is one of those people and I wouldn't hesitate recommending her to any of our friends/family. read more

Hillarry at Silver Bee Photography is truly exceptional. Our newborn photos are absolutely stunning! Soft, timeless, and full of emotion. The session was calm and baby-led, and she handled our son with so much care and confidence. Every detail was beautifully considered, and the final images are something we will treasure forever. read more

We had such a wonderful experience working with Hillarry at Silver Bee Photography! From start to finish, everything was seamless. Hillarry was quick to respond, easy to schedule with, and so flexible when our baby arrived two weeks early. Our session took place in her beautiful home studio, and she made the entire experience so comfortable. Beyond being incredibly professional and gentle with our baby girl, she even had a cozy setup that allowed us--two very sleep-deprived new parents--to relax and sneak in a quick nap during the shoot. The photos are absolutely stunning and perfectly capture our little girl. We're so grateful to have these special memories to treasure forever. We can't recommend Hillarry and Silver Bee Photography highly enough! read more

Hillarry is a phenomenal photographer! We love all of the photos she has done for our children! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect pictures of your family! read more

As first time parents, we were exhausted and photos of our newborn were the last thing on our minds. My sister gifted us the newborn package (as a surprise) with Hillarry and I'm so thankful she did. Hillarry was amazing from our initial conversation to the end of the session. For us personally, we were comfortable with her taking the reins and she handled our newborn like a rockstar! We didn't have to do anything during the session and really just got to be flies on the wall while she worked her magic taking photos of our baby. From taking the baby out of the car seat, feeding and keeping us posted on voids/bowel movements throughout the session we barely heard a peep out of our little one and now I see why she's dubbed the "baby whisperer"! The seating area where we waited was quiet and pretty comfortable. To be honest, we both dozed off here and there throughout the session. I definitely recommend bringing snacks or something to do since you'll have time to yourself while she works with the baby. And for my postpartum mamas - the restroom did have a few feminine products which was a nice touch! Overall we really enjoyed our session with her and would highly recommend her services! read more

I can't rave enough about Hillarry and Silver Bee. From day one she was communicative and patient and helpful with all of my questions. Her studio is beautiful and so well equipped for moms and families. She has thought of everything and then some to make sure you are comfortable during the session. She did our newborn's photos, which came out amazing and exceeded our expectations. She is also quite the baby whisperer. We are clients for the long haul now and plan to use Silver Bee for future family photos too. read more

We love seeing Hillarry again for our newborn photos!! Our newborn photos for our youngest are flawless and she was incredibly patient and flexible to accommodate our shy 6 year old. Our 4 and 6 year old are already asking to go back to see her. We're excited to be able to continue capturing our family's milestones and memories with Hillarry and cannot recommend her enough. read more

We are very glad we found Hillarry!! She is really talented and did our maternity and new born photo shoots. The photos came out amazing and her prices are very reasonable. Our toddler got sick on the original session date and Hillary was very accommodating and rescheduled our session twice on our request. We will definitely be going to her for any future family photo sessions. read more

We enjoyed working with Silver Bee Photography so much for our maternity and newborn photoshoots! We did both in Hillarry's studio and are VERY pleased with how everything turned out. She's very talented, especially working with a newborn. We were in awe of how our baby stayed asleep the entire time she wrapped her in different outfits and laid her in different poses. She's patient and very understanding of the needs that families with babies have (ex. how to time the photoshoot between feedings, naps, toddler attention spans, adjusting the air in her studio to be cooler or warmer based on needs etc.). We can't recommend Silver Bee Photography enough! read more

What a dreamy, easy experience! Hillarry made things so simple and seamless for us and the resulting photos are absolute perfection! She captured our daughter so beautifully and we will cherish these images forever! read more

Hillarry was wonderful with our 2 week old baby boy. I would not hesitate to recommend her or to use her in the future. Our photos came out beautiful and the process itself was so easy. She even let mom and dad take a little break while doing our newborn shoot. I'm talking full service - she changed and fed him for a 90+ min period. Such a nice perk when you're in the exhausted parent newborn stage. Thank you Hillarry! read more

We did maternity and newborn photos with Hillarry, and they are beautiful! I would definitely recommend her for newborn photos, and the maternity pictures came out so well that we would love to do a family session in the future. Hillarry made the entire experience so easy and helped us reschedule easily when our toddler got sick before the newborn photos. I looked at a ton of options for newborn photos in the Austin area, and I'm so happy that we went with Silver Bee. read more

We had a great experience with Silver Bee Photography! The photographer, Hillarry was very nice and took absolutely stunning photos of our newborn daughter, Lila! Not only that, she fed and changed our baby and let us have a little break during the photo shoot which was much needed being new parents! She also sent back proofs to review and prints to us in a timely manner. Highly recommend her-- 5 stars all around! read more

What a dreamy experience! Hillary is so amazingly talented both behind the camera, but also with making myself and baby feel calm and relaxed. I wish I had found Silver Bee for our first three babies! When we arrived to her beautiful in home studio, Hillary walked us through what to expect, then completely took it from there. It was amazing - I think I actually took a nap on her couch :) read more

My husband and I are obsessed with the photos of our newborn. Hillarry's home studio was equipped with all the props and outfits which made it great for us to not have to stress about those little details. We did take one prop (custom hat) and it turned out to be our favorite photos of our son. Hillarry has created a warm and welcoming atmosphere for both the newborn and the parents, and her kind and professional demeanor made the whole experience feel effortless. We look forwarding to working with Hillarry to help capture more precious images as our little man grows. read more

I started working with Hillarry when I wanted to take maternity photos. Unfortunately, I went into labor earlier than expected and wasn't able to get those done, but I've used her newborn photo services with my 10-day-old son, which turned out beautiful! While I was taking a nap, the 3-hour photo session went wonderful and quiet. We created a photo album from the photos and hung them up in our hallway. We also used her services for 4 month old family photos as well as Christmas pictures. I would highly recommend her as a photographer. She's easy to work with in terms of poses and makes the process really easy! read more

We absolutely loved our experience with Hilarry! She made such a comfortable and relaxing environment to get newborn photos completed! If you are looking for amazing photos, a comfortable and professional environment to get them done in and an overall great experience, you've found just the place! Will absolutely be returning for future inquiries! 10/10 recommend!! read more

Hillarry was amazing to work with! As our newborn shoot approached quickly, I completely forgot to get my hair done and had to reschedule a few days before and she was so understanding. She was amazing with our little guy and didn't wake up or fuss (except for needing a feed halfway through). We were blown away by the photos she took, they are absolutely beautiful! We will definitely be using Silver Bee Photography again in the future. Cannot recommend Hillarry enough! read more

Hillarry is so kind and wonderful with newborns. When we arrived at her home, she welcomed us warmly and created such magical pictures of our son that we will treasure for ever. We did not have to bring anything to the photo session - Hillary took care of everything (outfits, picture props) so we could have a relaxing day. We researched many newborn photographers in the Austin area and Hillarry's work really stood out.

Hillarry could not have done a better job capturing our daughter on her would-have-been due date. We're so grateful for the pictures that we'll treasure for a lifetime, and we had an AMAZING experience working with Hillarry. She handled our baby with love and care, let us hop in some photos and all around just showed that she is truly passionate about her work, which made us feel comfortable relaxing throughout the shoot and really letting her take the reigns on working with our little babe. Could not recommend her highly enough! read more

We purchased Hillarry's "Belly to Baby" package and were very happy with the results. Hillarry is an absolute magician with newborn babies! She knew all the tricks to keep our baby happy and asleep making for the most amazing photos. Her studio is equipped with all the props, blankets and accessories you cold want. We literally showed up, left our little girl in her care and relaxed for a few hours while she did her thing. Not only was it a great photo session but we also got our first 2 hours of rest since our girl was born! What is particularly great about Silver Bee Photography is that, for newborn photos specifically, she has a very clear style and aesthetic so the expectations are very clear. Unless your baby flat out cries the entire session you can count on getting photos that are consistent with what is on her social media. read more

Working with Hillarry was wonderful. She was very relaxed and inviting. Her studio in her home was perfect for our busy toddlers. They were able to play and watch a movie while our newborn was being photographed before sibling photos were taken. The whole experience was enjoyable and the photos were absolutely beautiful! read more

I booked a belly to baby package with Hillary and it was the best decision. My maternity pictures were exactly what I was looking for quick, comfortable and came out beautiful.

This was all around such a good experience and we will definitely be seeing her again for pictures in the future. read more

She was also just amazing with our newborn and we were so thankful we got to relax while she took the newborn pictures. Hillarry will absolutely be our go to for future family photos. read more

My husband and I got a photo shoot as a baby shower gift. We got a chance to do it 3 weeks after our daughter was born. Hillarry was absolutely amazing and wonderful with our baby Zelda for her newborn pictures. When it came time for our family pictures she was calm and patient in getting us into our poses. Our pictures turned out wonderfully. Zelda looks adorable in all the photos and our family photos are incredible. I can't wait to print and frame them. Thank you Hillarry!!! We can't wait to work with you again! read more

My family and I have had two photoshoots with Hillarry so far: a maternity photo shoot & 2 week newborn photoshoot. Both time we were blown away by the pictures she took! They all turned out beautifully! She was able to get us to relax and look natural while making us look good (lol), and she spent so much time with my newborn that she got a variety of lovely & fun poses. I have already booked our 4 month photoshoot. She is also responsive and extremely professional! read more

My Fianceè and I booked Hillarry for a maternity and newborn photoshoot - our experience with both sessions far surpassed our expectations going into them! Prior to each shoot she ensured we had everything we needed to make the most of shoot day, and during sessions she was concise and patient with us and our barrage of questions. These days there are a lot of photographer options and we were tempted to try to take these ourselves (we could just google/youtube it, and phones have amazing quality these days, right?!??) - no offense to anyone's skills, but in our experience book a session with a professional and have them done properly, instead of having a super stressful time during pregnancy/post partum trying to hobble your way through what to do. We're truly glad we chose Hillarry at Silver Bee and she's earned all five stars from us - call her and see for yourself!!! read more

Hillary is truly talented! She was so amazing with our newborn and got THE BEST family photos of us we have ever had taken. She somehow managed to get all THREE of our boys to smile and pose so nicely while all of us are looking at the camera!! Not an easy feat and it's a picture we will always treasure. Her studio was extremely clean and she is taking all COVID precautions. She is so sweet and pleasant to work with and so thoughtful that she had toys for my older two sons to play with while the newborn session was going on. I am so impressed by her and can't recommend her highly enough. read more

Hillarry was extremely easy to talk to and professional. We received our photos in about a week and they are AMAZING! We would absolutely recommend her services and will be sure to use her again! Thanks Hillarry! read more

Hillary was awesome! She worked great with our daughter for her 1 year pictures and cake smash! We will definitely continue using her for any of our future photography needs! (: read more

Absolutely beautiful photos of our newborn. We couldn't be happier. Hillarry did an amazing job and took care of everything during the photoshoot. She even gave a new mom and dad some time to cat nap while she worked in her studio with the baby. Truly amazing and well worth every penny. We're thrilled with our pics! read more

Hillarry was great to work with! She was quick to respond to all our questions and even offered some suggestions to ways that we could make our first photos of our daughter perfect. When we arrived at her studio, she had everything taken care of so that my husband and I could relax while she worked her magic. I would recommend her to anyone looking for newborn photos. read more

We had a great experience for our newborn session! The space is great-- there was a room next to the studio with toys, a tv, and couch, so it was easy to entertain our toddler without interrupting the session. Hillary did a great job getting our toddler to sit still when it was his turn to get his picture taken. Highly recommend!! read more
