i'm hailey
a wife to one, mom to three, and a photographer of weddings and all the important life stages that precede + follow. I’m based out of Folsom, California and feel grateful every day to have mountains and beaches and vineyards within reach.
I’ve had a camera in hand since I was about 10 years old, photographing my sister, my pets, inanimate objects around the house. I took 4 years of photography courses and then booked my first wedding when I was 19. I knew nothing about posing, I shot in JPEG, and I delivered the images on a CD. Rest assured, I’ve come a long way since then. 11 years of experience and hundreds of galleries later, I now shoot with the goal of emotive, cohesive, and timeless images.

YOU CAN FIND ME:
San Francisco, deep conversations, any book by Lauren Groff, and my 35mm Pentax.
I love:
I intentionally choose not to separate my professional self from these values because I see my work—photography in general—as an opportunity to make the world a more accepting and beautiful place.
I believe that love is love; that black lives matter; that humans are inherently worthy.
The boundary between my personal values and professional work is—and has always been—nonexistent.
I'd be honored to photograph you.
