  • Taking a line from Connor's current favorite car ride movie SING to say: Don't let the fear of failing keep you from doing what you love.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Wow.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We know that right but somehow it still pierced my heart when I was driving down the road the other day and heard a little animal say it on his show. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We know that fear holds us back.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We know that fear tells us lies.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We know that fear sometimes makes us compare in a way that's not healthy.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We know that fear fosters insecurity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well I'm here to say: Don't let fear be the end of your story.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Don't let fear be the thing that keeps you from following your passion, growing your ideas or your business, from reaching out of your comfort zone or from trying something knew. Somehow I know we know that life is too short, but so often it takes hardship in our lives for that to somehow come more in focus.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ No matter where you are in life, remember that you are worth it. You are worth the dream you have stirring in your mind and you are worth going after what you love. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ DON'T LET FEAR STOP YOU.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ DON'T LET FEAT SAY YOU CAN'T.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let today be the beginning of a mantra in your heart to say I CAN DO THIS.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The road may be long, and slow, and have its valleys and its mountain tops, but one day, you'll look back and be so grateful you didn't let fear hold you back for another day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Always know that my heart is to root for every person that has a dream. I think that when we build each other up, we put a fire in each others hearts that we need to keep going and I'm grateful every time someone does that for me or that I can do that for you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tell me below about the passion in your heart. Tell me about how I can cheer you on. I would love to do that for you today!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #elizabethhillphotography photo by @amandaandchadphoto

  • Cody picked me up and brought joy in my life in a time I really needed it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The moment he asked me to marry him at the 4th of July fireworks was one of the best moments of my life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ He is the glue that keeps me together.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ All of these things Ali has told me or wrote to me over the course of planning her wedding. All these remind me why I care so much about the women (and men) I serve. Because there is nothing like being a bride. To be standing there, as someone dear to you zips up the dress you knew was the one and proceeds to tell you that you look absolutely beautiful.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the quiet moments of a wedding day, an entire love story comes full circle and I get a front row seat to watch and document.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is the gift of photography.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is the gift of friendship.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is the gift of promising yourself, to someone, for the rest of your life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Grateful for all my brides (and grooms) and that when I come back through and see these photos, I'm giving them way more than just a gallery of images, I'm giving them the big (and little) moments that unfolded that led to the day they promised forever to each other - and for that - I wouldn't trade this job for the world

  • STORY TIME.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When we were young, we never ate out. Like I remember being 17 years old, going through McDonalds in my own car, ordering a Chicken Sandwich, Fries and Coke and saying, I don't have to share this with anyone ha!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My parents have ALWAYS been about experiences. They used to joke at us in the car that instead of rolling through Chick-Fil-A to get milkshakes, they'd put that money away for our next family vacation - and honestly, we chose Disney A LOT because we loved it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I still remember when they flew Scott down to FL to surprise me after we'd been dating a few months. I was in such shock that I closed the door on him in disbelief, but it was so fun to go through Disney and watch it through his eyes of seeing it for the first time! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now, we take Connor. We were actually those crazy parents who took him at 4.5 weeks old and really had the BEST TIME! He slept in the sling the whole time, it was cool weather and we just walked around and soaked in new parenthood.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This past summer, we went with the whole family and honestly, my parents are the only ones that walked away with a photo of this little boy smiling in 105 degree weather.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I look at this photo and see their legacy. I see what they've taught us about choices and family and memories over stuff. They've shown us that vacations like this are the moments we will truly cherish with Connor when we look back on his childhood instead of buying him the newest and greatest toy from the store. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I look forward to every one of these trips (with Scott's family too!) as we make memories with Connor over giving him more stuff.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Always remember friends, we have today, so let's use it wisely! Happy Thursday friends!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #elizabethhilphotography photo by @_jennifer_pierce #hillsthrills #hillsgotodisney #disneyworld #waltdisneyworld #connorscott

  • In 75 days we will be back at this spot, on our way to Beaches and Cream, to get icecream with our friends @_jennifer_pierce and Brett and to think about New Year plans. Ahhh Disney, you have my heart for rest and relaxation when some people say, we need a vacation FROM our vaction. But over the years, I've found my rhythm here with Scott. We've found our favorite places and the places we still want to try. We've found the things that make us always want to come back (looking at you KONA CAFE!) and even though we aren't doing the parks *at this moment*, you never know what will happen after we actually cross that FL line and land ourselves in our favorite place.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So glad Scott is always up for crazy adventures with me, and for this session, in 105 degree weather at sunset where my sweet husband wore pants AND a long sleeve shirt. He truly is such a GIVER and I'm so honored to do life with him

  • Details of a wedding day are extra special to me. As I’ve watched all my couples get married this year, picking up their “details box” has been a highlight of the day! Inside lies all the things that they have carefully chosen for their wedding day through the planning process. For a moment I hold all three rings, the perfume the bride will wear, the shoes she will dance her first dance with, his cufflinks and bow tie that were carefully chosen to match, and everything in between. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Details are a chance to see all the moments you took planning, come full circle to enjoy and look back on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I loved how Ali’s details came together in this design from her wedding in #RoanokeVa last weekend! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Was/is details important to you when planning your weekend?! Did you buy something specifically because you wanted it photographed for details?! I know I’m totally guilty of that 😆😉 • • • #elizabethhillphotography #ehpweddings
