Hello, hello!
I'm Haley.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.
-Gandalf the Grey
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 and completely obsessed with my fur babies (they are literally my children). I have one dog - Kylo Ren - and three cats: Biscuit & Gravy (adopted from Texas) and Bacon (adopted from Detroit). Our other fur babies, Airee (golden retriever) and Killian (kitty) crossed the rainbow bridge in 2025 and are forever a piece of our family. With that being said, 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*

my business values
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 and as a couple.
Here, we believe in:
Fueled by laughter, fun, and a whole lot of caffeine.
Authenticy and Honesty. Getting to know each other to bring out the authentic and realest pieces of who you are in each photo. I don't want a pinterest board of the same-old-poses you see everywhere. I want to get to know YOU and celebrate what makes you.... YOU!
Adventure and flexibility. Embracing the spirit of freedom and letting go of expectations. 99.99% of elopements and weddings do not stay on an exact timeline. Embrace the unexpected. Enjoy the little, unique moments. Embrace the day as it is, not as you envisioned it. Let your day speak to who you are, not a societal standard. Be flexible when things do not go according to plan, especially if it's out of your control.
Have so much fun. Let loose. Be a silly goose. Dance like no one is watching. Run into a flock of seagulls. Jump in the ocean (from a safe rock or the sand, of course). Whatever you do, let it be you and let it be fun. This day will only happen once.
Communication and Connection. I believe in strong, clear communication and trust so that every person feels seen and heard. Being able to communicate your vision and your story helps me make your gallery much more personal and unique to who you are.
