All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Hello, hello!

I'm Haley.

Wearer of many hats; of all the hats being a mom and a wife are some of my favorite ones to wear. I always knew I wanted to be a mom, but definitely did not expect it to happen when it did. My husband, Felipe, had immigrated from Brazil to the US in October 2018 and in February 2019 we found out I was pregnant. October 2019 rolled around and I gave birth to my incredibly beautiful, crazy, wild and wonderful baby girl, Emery.

When I am not photographing or editing, you'll find me cuddled up reading a book, watching Twilight for the billionth time, or exploring the world with Felipe and Emery. Traveling is a huge part of our life, especially with Felipe's family being in Brazil. My dream destination is New Zealand - specifically to see the Lord of the Rings movie set (Hobbiton/The Shire). Yes, I am a total nerd for Lord of the Rings and all of the books are on my to-read-list. I'll admit I still cry like a huge baby whenever I watch The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. When I say cry, I don't mean a little sniffle and getting choked up - I mean I UGLY cry.

I am an ENFP, a pisces, and proudly sorted into the Hufflepuff Household. I get way too invested in fictional characters in books and movies and have felt emotionally destroyed for days from some. I'm also a huge animal lover (I have two dogs - Airee and Kylo Ren - and a cat named Killian) so please please please do not hesitate to include your fur babies in your session with me. I swear it'll make my day.

I have a deep love (ahem... obsession) with coffee and I am literally always down to get together, grab some caffeine, and get to know each other in person before you book with me. I'm literally an open book, so feel free to ask me A N Y questions!

I'm so excited to get to know you more and create some magic together. *insert sparkles here*

Be your authentic self and celebrate what makes you different. Let's laugh, be weird, get wild, and have so much fun together.

Love and kindness are never wasted

Community over competition

Everyone has core values they stand by. When you book a photographer, you want to be sure it is someone who also shares your values and fits who YOU are as an individual, couple, and/or family. Here, we believe in:

Fueled by laughter, fun, and a whole lot of coffee.

my business values

You belong here! Whatever makes you... well... YOU... should be celebrated. Regardless of your background, your quirks, or who you love... You are welcome here!

Communication is key! You'll hear from me... a lot. From the moment you inquire until your photos are delivered to your email, but I also want to hear from you! The more we learn about each other, our styles, our vision and dreams, the more life I can bring into your session. I'm not just your photographer - let's be friends!

Embrace the chaos. Kids will be kids. I will never expect them to sit in one spot and smile pretty for a photo. It's okay (preferred, actually) if things get a little chaotic and crazy. Allow it. Embrace it. Please DO NOT yell at your kids and tell them to smile. It never ends well for photos.
