About Me

Hey there, I'm Haley — but friends (and pretty much anyone who vibes with me) call me Hayy.

I was born and raised in Damascus, Maryland until I was 9, when me and my family moved out to the wild Wild West to the western slope of Colorado — Grand Junction... Nineteen years, countless adventures, and a whole lot of sunsets later, I found my way back home to the Frederick area in Maryland.

When I'm not behind the camera, you can usually find me with my four rescue dogs — my absolute world — soaking up sunshine, exploring trails, and chasing a good hike with creek or lake access. We're happiest with muddy paws, tangled hair, and that golden light peeking through the trees.

Photography has always been more than just a creative outlet for me — it's a way to bottle up love, laughter, and those fleeting, in-between moments you wish you could hold onto forever. My work is rooted in sentiment, storytelling, and a whole lot of heart (plus a dash of sass — because, well... me).

Whether we're capturing your family's legacy, your brand's personality, or your four-legged best friend living their best life, my goal is simple: to make you feel something every time you look back at your photos.

Rooted in love. Fueled by passion. Guided by legacy.

That's not just my business motto— it's my life.
