About Hayley
Hi! I'm Hayley and I am an Orange County California-based photographer whose work focuses primarily on portraiture.
I was born and raised in Central Arkansas, but moved to sunny Orange County California in 2020.
I've owned a photo business for over 15 years and have experience in every genre of photography. In that time I've been published in several magazines, newspaper articles, and online publications.
I love shooting and meeting new people, I really try to make it feel like you're out with a friend rather than the shoot just being a business transaction. I believe that the more comfortable everyone is, the better the photos are.
I love shooting in a more 'lifestyle' like way, giving gentle direction but also striving to capture the most genuine and natural emotions possible. You want to look at your photos and see real emotion, not an overly-posed photo with a fake awkward smile.
I'm a big nerd and I'm always down for a unique or themed shoot. Among my favorite shoots I've done are a Star Wars themed wedding and a genderbend Pennywise shoot. Send me your ideas or interests and I can definitely help you brainstorm the perfect couples, maternity, boudoir, or modeling portfolio shoot that people will remember forever!
