your moments deserve to live in the sun

My job is to freeze them there forever, for you to revisit and feel again and again like sunshine on your face.

about

The sun on my skin, the crashes of waves, and the moments collecting shells will live on in my soul forever. We all have moments we wish we could bottle up and save. I do the next best thing—I frame yours. Whether on your walls, in your clients' minds, in the favorites section of your camera roll, or even on the grid, they'll last forever.

“Working with Haley for our family photos was such an incredible experience. She has this amazing ability to make everyone feel comfortable and relaxed, which is no small feat when you’re trying to wrangle a family for pictures! What really stood out to me was how she managed to capture everyone’s unique personality—nothing felt forced or overly posed. The kids were actually having fun (how often does that happen during family photos?), and even the candid moments turned out frame-worthy..."

“We LOVED Haley!! She captured our family perfectly! Her style is perfectly trendy and timeless! She is very organized and easy to work with! She did so well with helping with our two toddlers who aren’t always the easiest for pictures! We are so excited to use her again in a couple of weeks! Can’t say enough good things about Haley!”

"When we saw the final photos, we were absolutely blown away. They were everything I hoped for and more. These pictures didn’t just turn out great—they felt special, and it made for the perfect Christmas card. We’ve already had so many compliments, and I can’t wait to frame a few for our walls. If you’re looking for someone who’s not only incredibly talented but also easygoing and fun to work with, Haley is the one. She made the entire process stress-free and delivered photos we’ll treasure forever. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”

She came in with the most thoughtful ideas that felt so us — nothing felt forced. She made it look effortless while capturing the most stunning, authentic shots. & the photos? We’re absolutely OBSESSED. She captured us so so so perfectly. We couldn’t recommend her enough, she’s a gem!!”

“Working with Haley was an absolute joy! She made the whole experience so easy and fun, even for my husband, who usually dreads taking photos. Her clear direction and natural ability to make us laugh made it so comfortable. We never had that moment of “what do I do with my hands”. Plus, she’s such a kind and warm person—it felt like hanging out with a friend. Highly recommend!”
