Hi, I’m Hailey!

It’s nice to meet you!  I’m a lifestyle portrait and wedding photographer here in Santa Rosa, CA and I simply love all things photography.  I would say it’s my one true love but that’s not very nice considering I have an amazing husband and four incredible kiddos (yes, four! We know, we’re nuts lol).  Honestly, my family is EVERYTHING and always will be. I can’t imagine life without them.  A little about me? I love food but also love working out, it’s a balance just like anything in life. I live on coffee, Target and Amazon Prime, yes just like those silly shirts read and I would not survive without sunshine and wine.  Yes I said it, I love my wine…maybe a white claw or two, too lol. The beach is my happy place, I basically live in leggings and some sort of hat, and I find grocery shopping quite therapeutic (although grocery delivery is a lifesaver when you have kids).  Okay, enough about me. I want to get to know YOU. YOU are the reason I get to live out my dream and have a career I absolutely love. Seriously, I don’t take that for granted. Let’s hang out and take some photos that I know you’ll love forever and ever! XOXO

Testimonials

“This review has taken us over a month to write as we cannot even put into words how magical Hailey made our wedding (and the entire engagement/wedding planning process!). For context, the most important part of the wedding to us was the photography and with that in mind we interviewed 4 different photographers. For the first moment we spoke with Hailey, we could tell that we would be more than just a paycheck for her but that she truly cared about our journey. We booked Hailey over a year before our wedding, and not once did she make us feel like we were on the back burner (which a couple of our other vendors did since it was so far out). Having the engagement shoot before the actual wedding gave us an opportunity to really get to know Hailey and she spent over an hour getting to know us. Since we were from out of state, Hailey worked with us and helped us pick the perfect site for our engagement pictures. She picked the perfect time of day for golden hour and the venue she helped us picked felt like we were in our own secret garden. Not only that, we had SO much fun and laughed almost the whole time. As a couple who had never been professionally photographed, she made us feel so at ease in front of the camera. Knowing that we could trust Hailey and her artistry to capture our special day gave us so much peace of mind. Fast forward to the month leading up to the wedding and Hailey was very organized and helpful. She asked us for a shot list (people we wanted to ensure we got pictures with) to use on the day of. Since we did not want a lot of staged pictures (and Hailey’s style is candid NOT posed) this worked out perfectly to ensure we got pictures with all of the folks we wanted to. On the day of the wedding, Hailey and her second shooter Alyssa were both so calm and yet efficient even when we were behind schedule. From the moment they arrived, they got right to shooting. They were professional and worked completely in sync with our other vendors. We had to pivot where we took our sunset photos due to speeches running long, and she did not skip a beat. By the end, Hailey felt much more like a friend than a vendor.”

“My family and I have been trusting our family photos to Hailey for years now. Hailey is amazing at capturing who we really are. She sees the details, sweet moments and quirks that make us a family. Her photography is gorgeous and truly gets better with each session we do. Hailey’s talent is something I admire, her eye for detail is something that constantly surprises me. Beyond her talent, Hailey is warm, kind and easy to work with. We always have fun and we never feel awkward in front of her lens. There is honestly no one I trust more than Hailey to take not only my family photos, but photos for my business as well. She is the definition of professional and has the talent and drive to back it up.”

“Hailey is the absolute BEST! Seriously, you can’t go wrong. Not only is she the sweetest human ever, she’s also genuine, real and an AMAZING artist. Her creativity is honestly shocking and she makes people look and feel their best. The way she captures love on camera will always amaze me. I can’t wait to wallpaper my home in her photos and see what else she comes up with next! I’m loyal to her art forever!”
