Grace Hill Photography bio picture
  • Hello!

    Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my blog! Here you can learn a little about me, my style and find some of my most recent work.

    I fell in love with photography when I was in high school but didn't follow my dream of becoming a photographer until I graduated college. My husband bought me a "fancy" camera right after we were married and I couldn't put it down. Through my adorable nieces and nephews, families, children and couples in love I found my passion of telling stories through pictures and producing artistic pictures that make you feel.

    I am a huge fan of natural light. While shooting, I try to capture the true emotions that are shared between my subjects when they are just being themselves and forget they are being photographed. I love capturing the real natural moments, to me, that's what makes a beautiful photograph.

    When I'm not behind the lens you can find me walking my sweet pups {Otis the pug and Ziggy the beagle}, enjoying life with my handsome hubby, traveling to a sandy beach or snow covered mountain side and spending quality time with friends and family. I love to laugh and try to see the good in every situation.

    I'm so excited that you have stopped by, and I truly hope that that our paths cross soon. I would love to hear from you, so if you are interested in booking a photo shoot or a wedding please fill out the contact info I'd love to hear from you.

Elizabeth {Lake Norman Newborn Photographer}

Elizabeth’s parents are head over heels in love with their baby girl. I could feel the love and admiration beaming form this sweet family as I was photographing them. I can already tell that Elizabeth is going to be such a daddy’s girl. She is perfect from her tiny toes to her full head of black hair. Enjoy the sweetness!

Debbie Brooks - So beautiful! How could you possibly choose which ones to frame? I do love the ones where everyone’s feet are at the end of the bed. That I’d very original and so cute. But my all time favorite is where Richard is kissing Ashley, and Ashley is kissing Elizabeth! So precious.

I have to agree with Debbie, pics with your feet at end of bed and pic of Richard kissing Ashley, Ashley kissing Elizabeth are adorable. Love, Love, Love #’s 13, 93, 95, I want #88 to make cards. xoxo

The Sexton Family {Charlotte Family Photographer}

I absolutely loved spending the evening with this sweet family. Dave and I worked together for about 4 years when I was just getting my photography business off the ground. I made a huge decision and left my graphic design job last year to focus on my photography business 100%  and haven’t looked back since. I miss all my co-workers but that’s about it… It was so nice seeing Dave, meeting his adorable family and capturing their personalities.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Samantha + Kyle ~ Engaged! {Charlotte Wedding Photographer}

The moment Samantha + Kyle sat down at Starbucks at our first meeting I knew we were a good fit. I loved the excitement in Samantha’s voice when she was telling about their wedding day. I loved how Kyle sat next to her, held her hand and smiled as she went into detail about their engagement, ceremony, and reception venue. They both seemed like a fun loving couple who were excited about their wedding day and just wanted everyone to celebrate and have fun.

When we started talking about ideas for their engagement session I asked if there was anything they liked to do together or if they had any interests. After playing around with some ideas Kyle mentioned that he liked to brew beer – PERFECT! Kyle was living in NoDa at the time of our meeting so we decided to start off at a Heist Brewery and ended up at a little park in NoDa

Alex 6 months {Lake Norman Family Photographer}

I just love this little guy! His eyes – they.are.stunning. I think he gets that sparkle and those long beautiful lashes from his Mamma. I met Robin and Kevin last year at their maternity session and met Alex at his newborn session. I fell in love with this family because of their kindness, love for each other and their admiration for their sweet baby boy! I am so blessed to have such sweet clients and am so happy I have ad the privilege of watching this beautiful family grow through my lens.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Nolan 2 Years Old {Lake Norman Children’s Photographer}

Yaaay! For the past week my blog has been having issues – I have been dying to share this little girls 2 year photo session and now I finally can. I just love it when I can watch my little subjects grow over the years. I’ve watched Nolan grow from a pretty little 6 month old to a beautiful, walking, talking toddler who is so full of personality! If you have ever been around or photographed a two year old you know that they don’t like to sit {or stand} still for more than a second. I feel like their little minds are going 1,000 times per second and they just want to look at, pick up and run to everything they can. They are so curious about every.little.thing and their comments and expressions are priceless. Nolan made me work hard and even sweat for every shot but I am so happy with how these images turned out.

i love this next image
