Creating images for the honest and free
Hello!
My name is Haley and I'm a fine art photographer with a focus on newborn, family and motherhood sessions. As a mother myself, I know just how fleeting time is and I believe that the beautiful bond between families, especially mamas and their little ones should be photographed and treasured.
My favourite images always focus on connection and I love to capture all of the laughs, snuggles and bunny kisses. My heart for every session is to create honest and free images, so if you love fearlessly and enjoy discovering beauty wherever you go, please send me a note! I would be honoured to photograph this precious time in your life and hear your story.
A Few Things About Me
I married my best friend Ryan in 2016 on a pier overlooking the Fraser River surrounded by our closest friends and family. In 2021, we welcomed our daughter and she’s the light of our lives.
I graduated from Kwantlen Polytechnic University in 2021 with a degree in general studies and a minor in counselling.
My favourite genres to read are fantasy romance, historical fiction, thrillers and memoirs.
I'm mildly obsessed with medium format film photography - it's so dreamy and timeless. (It’s a dream of mine to shoot film one day!)
My perfect day would include spending time lounging at the lake with my family, grabbing burgers and fries for dinner and then watching a comfort movie like Lord Of The Rings or Harry Potter.

FAQ
What should we wear?
For women, flowy romantic tops or dresses in light pastel colours, neutrals or subtle prints work really well and add depth and texture to the images. For men, I typically recommend a cream or pale blue button up with neutral coloured chinos or shorts. If you’re still unsure, simply choose what you feel the most comfortable and confident wearing. I am also happy to offer feedback or suggestions if needed.
When do you recommend getting maternity and newborn photos taken?
I would suggest getting maternity photos taken between 28-34 weeks if possible; however, earlier or later is fine as well. Newborn photos are typically taken between 5-14 days but if your baby is a few weeks or even months old and you haven’t gotten photos yet, don’t worry! It’s not too late and we can still get some magical portraits of you with your little one.
When will we receive our photos?
Sneak peek images for full sessions will be ready within 1 week and full gallery links will be emailed within 3-4 weeks at most. Once you receive the link you can download your photos, choose your favourites and share them with friends and family!
How would you describe your photographic style?
My photographic style is light and airy with a focus on connection. I am primarily a natural light photographer and I am often inspired by the soft, dreamy pastel tones of film. During our session my goal is to make you feel confident but also comfortable by offering direction and posing ideas.
Do you offer a maternity and newborn package?
Yes! If you’d like to book a newborn and maternity package please let me know at the time of booking. Package rates start at $600 and include a mini maternity session and a full newborn session. I am also happy to create a custom package based on what you are looking for.
How long do sessions last?
Mini sessions last 30 minutes and full sessions last 1 hour. Newborn sessions may last up to 90 minutes simply because babies can be so unpredictable and they usually require care throughout the session.
