Hi there!  My name is Hillary Schave, pronounce it as Shave (like shaved parmesan cheese). I am the owner and photographer of Azena Photography. I live in Madison, WI and adore Wedding Photography. It is my dopamine clicking, true love and passion. I also spend a lot of time at my studio where I create gorgeous Boudoir and Professional Headshots with women and men from all over Southern Wisconsin.

My professional headshots and brand building story sessions originate from my favorite local Magazine where I have contributed my photography for the last 10 years.
BRAVA Magazine features amazing local Madison Women. If you don't read this magazine, you should! It's free to subscribe.  Here is a link! You will see "Photographed by Hillary Schave" everywhere! 
I've also contributed to Madison Magazine, Wisconsin Bride, Wedding Planner and Guide, Lakeshore Living, At the Lake, Wisconsin Meetings, Seed World, Goss Magazine and In Business Magazine.


I always put my left shoe on first, I constantly quote Adam Sandler movies and make way too many "that's what she said" jokes.  I also tend to use wildly exaggerated hand motions and funny facial expressions when I am excited during your photo shoot.

I love reading any kind of fiction I can get my hands on, I am completely obsessed with Star Wars and the Beatles.
 You might find me dancing it out at one of Madison's amazing live music venues. All the music. Music is life.

hungry

CURRENTLY:

A huge obsession with spicy food. There are probably 6 bottles of hot sauce in the fridge right now (because they all taste different and go with certain foods!).  I've tried the Ghost Pepper Burger at every restaurant that carries it.

CURRENTLY:

Always ready to go on an adventure. Any new and unique fun idea is open for discussion. I once traveled to Tobago (as in Trididad and Tobago) for a wedding but more importantly for the hot peppers!
