The Studio

Our studio prides itself on creating a one-of-a-kind experience for all our clients.

While we photograph a variety of life’s milestones, our specialty is senior girls. We are known for getting to know our clients so we can tailor their experience to their style, likes, etc - That’s how we can assure our clients that your portraits won’t look like everyone else’s! We are definitely not your run of the mill, traditional portrait studio. Our photographs are bold and vibrant, focusing on special moments as well as posed portraits.


Hillary Frost Photography is located at794 North 4th St in Breese, Illinois -  

The studio opened in Breese in 2013, when Hillary discovered she was not the first in her family to run a business out of this location and the building underwent many renovations - To read more about that and see the before and after images, check out this blog post

Our entrance and camera rooms boasts floor to ceiling windows where we frequently use the natural light to photograph our clients. Inside you will also find a large dressing room, complete with a full service salon where, should you choose, a professional stylist will create a flawless look for your portraits. Furthermore, our viewing room contains many sample products like wall portraits, albums and prints that you can browse through to find your perfect fit.

Hillary

Owner and Lead Photographer

Long before becoming a professional photographer, everyone around me knew that was what was supposed to happen... except for myself. Truthfully, as a high school student choosing a college major, or a college student changing majors, it never occurred to me to choose photography. I always saw it as something fun and interesting - just a super fun summer job on the way to my “real” career - whatever that was.  Fast forward through a cross country move, 4 changes of majors and a bachelor’s degree in social psychology before I realized what everyone else knew all along. As my husband and I were about to leave our first home in Southern California, I picked up an old Kodak camera to photograph what had become my favorite place in the entire world. I didn’t want to ever forget any tiny piece of the sandy streets and colorful panoramas that stole my heart and forever changed my views of the world.

Coming home that day, I never felt more like myself. Something inside of me clicked, and I knew I didn’t want to let it go. Together, we moved to Missouri to finish my husband’s last duty station as a US Marine.  There is where my journey from photography lover to photography professional (and still lover) really began. I poured myself into any book, video, workshop, conference, online course and social media groups to learn everything I could. Slowly but surely, the pieces began to fall together that lead me to where I am today. Even the journey to playing host to our historic building felt like God was guiding me - but I’ll save that story for another day. 

Hillary is wife and mother of four, residing in Breese, Illinois. She is a graduate of Park University and a proud member of Professional Photographers of America and Wedding and Portrait Photographers International.
