My approach is relaxed, candid, and built around real connection so you can focus on being present while I capture the moments you’ll want to relive later. No awkward posing marathons, just honest moments, good energy, and photos that feel like you.

If your family photos usually involve snack bribes, running in opposite directions, and at least one goofy face, you’re in the right place. These sessions are playful, relaxed, and focused on connection over perfection. I’ll guide you when needed, but mostly I let your family be your family.

My Approach
Frequently Asked Questions
Newborn sessions can happen in your home or in my studio here in Asheville. Family and couples sessions are usually outdoors or somewhere meaningful to you. As for weddings, I love to photograph them both near and far!
Where do sessions take place?
01 / 06
For weddings, I recommend reaching out as early as possible since dates tend to book quickly. Family and newborn sessions are usually booked 2–3 months in advance.
How far in advance should we book?
02 / 06
Honestly, that’s usually when the magic happens. I approach sessions with patience, flexibility, and zero pressure. Your kids don’t need to sit perfectly still to create meaningful photos.
What if my kids don't cooperate?
03 / 06
Yes! You’ll receive a styling guide after booking with tips, inspiration, and color suggestions so everything feels cohesive without looking overly matchy.

The Carters
Family photos with three young kids felt like an impossible task, but Hailey made it fun from start to finish. There was plenty of running, laughing, and a few snack breaks, yet the photos turned out better than we ever imagined.
“She captured our family in a way that felt so true to us.”
Laura S.
At first I loved them because they were beautiful. Then I started noticing the details she captured- the laughs, the little moments I'd already forgotten about. They're the kind of photos I know we'll treasure more and more as the years go by.
“Our photos seem to get better every time we look at them.”
The Johnson Family
We almost skipped family photos this year because life felt too busy. Looking back, I'm so glad we didn't. Harper captured this season of our lives so beautifully, and now we have photos that mean more to me than I ever expected.
“If you're waiting for a sign to book the photos, this is it.”
Sophie & Jake
There were so many moments we missed while we were caught up in everything and Hailey somehow captured all of it, from the big emotional moments to the little interactions we never would have seen otherwise.
“Every photo takes us right back to how beautiful the day felt.”
