hi, i’m hailey

I’m a photographer based in Grand Rapids, MI, but will travel anywhere and everywhere!

I was raised along the bays of Traverse City, spending most of my time on or in the water with my favorite people. I picked up a camera my freshman year of high school, with absolutely no intentions of making it my career.

When I’m not taking photos, I enjoy family time, local christian coffee shops, hanging out with friends, fishing, game nights and binge watching New Girl. I love traveling to warm places in the winter and enjoying my hometown in the summer!

My editing style represents my love for soft, earthy tones, giving that nostalgic feeling you can look back on, while not being over-edited. I live for cozy cabin weddings on the lake and campfire toasts under the stars.

On your wedding day, I’ll be there to give direction with portraits and to ensure your day flows smoothly. I love documenting life as is happens and bringing that into this beautiful time in your life. Capturing your dad seeing his little girl in her dress for the first time, the belly laughs from those insides jokes written in your vows or your grandparents getting down on the dance floor - I’m here for it all! I love getting to not only experience, but share these memories back with you!

i also want you to meet…

my little loves

oliver owen & jackson james

These sweet boys play an important role in the office and in my life! Oliver (aka Oly or Pooks) and Jackson (aka Jax, Bugs or Buggie) love to lay by my feet, try to climb their way up to my head while I’m editing and remind me when I need a computer break - we love them for it! They’re always up for meeting new friends and playing frisbee at the dog park. Swimming and making a mess of some good pup cups are their favorite summer activities! Although they don’t tag along for weddings and portrait shoots, they definitely wish they could - little travels bugs!
