About Haley

I believe being photographed can be a reclamation.

Not a performance. Not perfection.
But a return to yourself.

Photography found me in seasons where I was learning to trust myself again — and now it’s the space where I hold that same experience for others.

I’m Haley — a Vancouver Island based photographer drawn to quiet strength, honest emotion, and the moments in between.

My work is rooted in presence. I’m not here to overly pose you or create something that feels staged. I’m here to guide you gently, so you can settle into yourself and let something real unfold.

Whether you’re building a brand, reconnecting with your body, or documenting your relationship — I care about how you feel just as much as how the final images look.

Because when you feel safe and seen, it shows.

What its like to work with me

Sessions with me are:

– Intentional, not rushed
– Movement-based, not stiff
– Collaborative & connective not transactional
– Rooted in trust and comfort

You don’t need experience. You don’t need to “know how to pose.”
You just need to show up as you are.

Let’s create something untamed, honest, and deeply you

You’re in the right place if…

You value depth over trends.
You care about meaning.
You want images that feel like you — not like everyone else online.
You’re ready to be seen in a way that feels empowering, not performative.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m outside with my dog, near the water, or gathered with my friends in big laughs and conversation. I feel most like myself in nature — grounded, present, and a little wild in a quiet way. That’s the energy I bring into every session.
