The Seeker - Artwork Spotlight
THE SEEKER. That's what I named this artwork. It is the seeker, who understands there is more than what meets the eye; who is not afraid; and who makes the choice to go into the unknown. She understands that going into uncertainty creates discomfort but that is where the growth begins.
Breast Cancer Awareness Art Project
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and I have had the honor for the past 7 weeks to work on a beautiful art project called KAB Breast Cast to raise awareness and money for breast cancer through the Keep A Breast Foundation. I casted myself (pictured here) and I photographed all 86 casts and the Castees with their cast. It was one of those beautiful projects that fills you up and brings so much joy. I feel so grateful because this is the coolest Art project ever for women and Breast Cancer Awareness. Check out all the beautiful artwork and portraits in this blog!
Different Portrait Types & When To Use Them
Portraits have several categories. The most common ones are weddings & birthdays or event photography, family photos, and headshot. But there is so much more the world of photography. My studio, Judith Hill Photography, is a studio that is centered on lifting people up, celebrating achievements, building confidence, treasuring life.
Here are 4 different portrait types and opportunities on when to use each type.
6 Lessons from My First Bonnaroo Experience
A few days ago, I experienced Bonnaroo for the first time with Justin. I joined 90,000 other people for a weekend of music, community, and camping.
The Roo, as they call it, is a place where everyone is welcomed and anything goes. So, first, let's get the big question out of the way - Would I ever go back? The answer is YES!
What is Your Legacy?
Do you ever think about your legacy? Even if you don't have children or beyond your family, do you ever think about your own legacy? That thing that you leave behind or way of being that you pass down? Even the messages that you are constantly sending to people by your actions and words.
Without a Wardrobe Plan
What makes a photoshoot creative? When hair and makeup is the purpose of a creative shoot and wardrobe is not fully discussed, then you end up working with less, shall we say... It is kind of hysterical not to have discussed clothes because the wardrobe is the number 1 consideration, and the question I get asked the most, but fate would have it.
Ashley's Session of Art, Glam & Family
Being the main character in your own story can be powerful.
I connected with Ashley immediately. We captured a lot of different types of portraits in her session-artwork, contemporary beauty, fashion vibe, and family. Ashley texted after her big reveal and said "The art is epic. Everyone needs a picture that tells their story."

The Best Secret to Shooting Indoors
Please trust me on this. Sometimes, my girlfriends try and fight me on this but the fact of the matter is, you will like the image better if your face has evenly, diffused light on it rather than having a pretty restaurant scene in the background. So, what’s the best secret to having the best picture indoor? The best secret to shooting portraits indoors is…
Breaking Free
Freedom is always worth striving for. I call this self-portrait "Breaking Free". I started the year off being a bit reflective. The theme has been breaking free, and not because I feel trapped. Far from it. I love my life! I think because I've been reflecting back on the past year.
Supporting My Community with Tomato Art
The 15th Annual East Nashville Tomato Art Festival is August 10th & 11th. Whoop!
For those of you wondering what the heck is the Tomato Art Festival, it is a festival located at East Nashville's 5 Points celebrating the Tomato. And when I say celebrate, I mean CELEBRATE! There's a parade, a costume contest, a bloody mary contest, an art show and contest, a 5K run, an Artist fair, multiple stages of live music, and any other way imaginable to celebrate the tomato. Why the tomato?
Creating Freedom in Your Daily Life
This image is about freedom. Something that I seek; something most of us seek. What I have learned is that freedom only comes when we have freedom within our mind and detach from outcomes. It comes when we stop resisting what is and find acceptance. It comes when we stop the chatter, cultivate faith, let go of fear, and trust ourselves.
