china. loved the people. loved the scenery. didn't love the food. lost 7 lbs in a week. the beijing starbucks saved my life.

my dad gave me my first camera in high school, a sturdy black minolta. i found my gift, my voice, my way to be with the world. after journalism school, i swashbuckled as a photojournalist for over a decade. moved home to norcal to be near family and started a boutique stock photography agency, see jane run. life had other plans. my camera lived mostly in the closet for over 10 years. several summers ago while working on a film in france and spain, my camera became my friend again. and now, it's like rekindling a long-lost love. now with more wisdom, more freedom. pure joy. 

welcome. thank you for coming. thank you for letting me share my world with you. please share yours with me, too. do connect!

Hillary grew up in Marin, and -- after time spent living in France, Oregon, Greece, Martinique, Missouri, Florida, and Los Angeles -- chose to return there. She is an enthusiast. What she embraces, she loves with intensity and without reservation. She is an observer. With her camera and her heart she sees the world around her. She is a friend, and draws people to her with her soft energy and consistent care. Once her friend, always her friend. She is tidy and organized and brings clarity to the world around her. She is a seeker. Looking for the path, both exterior and interior, has brought her many adventures, and will bring her many more.
