Testimonials
The whole process of working with Hayley is a delight. From the speed and efficiency of her communication to her steady and patient demeanor on the shoot. I am absolutely overjoyed with the results and have used the photos time and time again. I can’t wait to set up another session!

I hired Hayley as a photographer for a women's retreat I led. There were 26 of us, which is no small number of people to manage, and she handled the experience with grace, gentle confidence, and professionalism. We were all put at ease, and she captured the most beautiful candid and posed shots. I highly recommend her for large events!

Working with Hayley was a joyful experience. Her grounded energy and ability to see me and my devotion to a practice of tea helped me to feel comfortable infront of the camera. The session felt like poetry in motion and it was fun to set the scene, talk of tea and receive the photos in a timely matter. I appreciate the style of editing, that gives a natural yet vibrant feel. I highly recommend a photoshoot with Hayley, especially to capture the simple yet profound aspects of being. Thank you for seeing me
