Capturing timeless, classic and captivating photos of your little ones & the ones you love.
But parenting a newborn is not always as easy as it looks.
"Sleep when the baby sleeps" They Say...
As you soak in all of that new baby love, it's easy to forget the little things like laundry, the grocery list, and even finding the time to shower. The one thing you don't want to forget? Booking your newborn photo session. It's never too early to reach out and reserve your due date because those treasured moments go by in a flash.
When is the best time for newborn photos?
Ideally, the best time for newborn photos is within the first two weeks. The sweet-spot is 7-14 days. The first few days are really hard, you've just met your little one and are beyond exhausted. Within a week you will feel a little better and have somewhat of a feeding schedule.
If your little one is three weeks or more, don't panic. If you have a newborn photographer with lots of experience then a session is possible. You've come to the right place!
My portrait studio has everything I need to create beautiful scenes for your newborn photo session. I'll create and recommend unique sets, props, wraps, outfits and more depending on your preferences in our warm and cozy studio so your baby sleeps soundly through the entire experience.
Take a quick nap and relax or watch as I work my newborn magic and lull your little one to sleep. You can be as involved in the process as you like knowing your baby is safe and in good hands the entire time.
Visits Are By Appointment Only.
The first few days with your baby are an adjustment...
Come in and relax!
My studio is all comfy and calm vibes. You and your baby have my undivided attention for the entire session.
You will find extra diapers and wipes for baby, and an inviting couch and recliners for parents. Catch up on your sleep or your Netflix because I’ve got it from here. You don’t need to lift a finger.
I'm Hillarry
Your Photographer. Lover of Natural Light. Baby Whisperer.
I’ve spent over 15 years capturing the most precious family moments, from stunning maternity photos to infant and family milestones.
I’m originally from Denver. But when my husband and I were ready for a change, Austin seemed like the perfect place to settle. From its endless possibilities for outdoor adventures with our two boys, to its amazing food trucks and restaurants, I’ve been so happy to call Austin home. And I’m so honored to capture your new addition.
Now that my boys are off in college, you can find me most days in some jeans and a t-shirt, doing what I love most - capturing your new baby's first moments. My passion in newborn photography comes from knowing that these moments are fleeting. You don’t ever want to forget their tiny toes. Or sweet dimples. Or perfect skin. As they grow and change with each passing day, you’ll be able to treasure your photos forever.

Photographing newborns is my passion...
Don't get me wrong, I love celebrating your child's milestones as they age, but there's something so special about those special moments. This stage of life is a precious and to be a part of it is truly a privilege.
Tiny details only stay tiny for a little while. That is why baby photography requires a special kind of heart, one that can appreciate how special these moments are and understand the importance of treasuring them down to the last dimple.
How long is each newborn photography session?
Each session is about 1.5-2 hours. We don’t like to rush anything at the Silver Bee Photography studio. Setting up your infant in the perfect poses and capturing their adorable looks in just the right natural light takes time to get right.
Luckily, we have planned for that! Our newborn photography studio is centrally located in Austin, TX and is incredibly relaxing for both newborns and their families.
With all the right clothing and accessories, as well as the comforts of home for parents, our studio is a place where families can feel completely at ease. After all, that’s going to lead to us having the best newborn session possible!
“You can stop researching photographers in the Austin area now... Wow, wow, wow!
I'm amazed at that especially through all the outfit changes. Once we got the photos back I died with excitement. I am not someone who squeals with excitement but seeing each picture, I got more excited with just how adorable and perfect each photo came out."

“Hillarry is very professional and so talented. We had a maternity session and then a newborn one and both times the pictures were STUNNING!
She guides you for every picture so don’t be afraid if you don’t know how to pose. She also was SO sweet and careful with our baby, we felt very comfortable. I highly recommend her, we are so happy with the experience and the results. We will for sure have our family pictures with her in the future."
- Alexandra
“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 :)"
-Megan
Our experience with Silver Bee Photography was absolutely amazing!!
Hillarry is extremely thoughtful and made sure we had a wonderful experience and of course beautiful photos. The whole process from start to finish was effortless and she put so much care and thought into making sure our baby girl was comfortable and happy. Of course the most important part- the photos turned out exactly what I was hoping for and we are just so grateful to have these precious photos of our daughter to keep forever.
- Naomi
Hillarry did an amazing job with our newborn photos! They turned out even better than we expected and we’re so happy we worked with her.
She was easy to work with and so gentle with our newborn making him super calm throughout the process and the photos show how happy we was. Will definitely use her for future family photos!
