get to know your photographer

i'm haley

hey friend –

I am 31 years old, and have lived in the Twin Cities since I graduated college with a social work degree. I picked up photography in high school and got more serious about it in college. Once I moved to Minneapolis in 2017, I really started turning my love for photography into a business and in the late fall of 2024 I decided to pursue photography full-time and I haven't looked back. 

I am an open book and would love to chat more. Don't hesitate to reach out. :) 


My Values

people first

I care deeply about people. I want to be as helpful as possible, so when it comes to being a photographer, I want to give you all the information you need in order to feel confident with the photo process.

photos are memories

In 30 years, I'm willing to bet you won't be looking through photo books regretting having photos taken of you and your loved ones. Time moves quickly and tomorrow is never guaranteed. Let's celebrate today, and capture this time in your life. and 

ALL are welcome

I proudly serve clients of all races, ethnicities, nationalities, gender identities, sexual orientations, ages, abilities, body types, religions, and family structures. This is a safe and inclusive space — always.

some pure joy from my Cell Phone

"Amazing, stunning, incredible, the best! Always made us feel comfortable."
