MEET HAYLEY ZUMKELLER

strategic brand photograper & videographer

I’m Hayley, a Branding Photographer, Filmmaker, and Creative Director based in Victoria, BC and serving Vancouver Island and beyond. My branding and headshot sessions are crafted for business owners who want to stand out, increase sales, and build trust with their audience through clean, modern imagery.

This isn’t just a photoshoot. This is visual identity development, marketing insight, and professional creative direction, all wrapped into one elevated experience.

Whether you’re a coach, realtor, consultant, artist, entrepreneur, CEO, or have a team, your brand deserves imagery that you're proud of, that brings in sales, builds customer trust, and positions you as the expert. 









LET'S WORK TOGETHER

the branding experience

more than just pretty pictures

Most photographers show up with a camera. We show up with a plan. Here's how we help you create brand visuals that position you as an expert: 

we build your brand visual strategy

01. Moodboards & Concept Development
I'll send over a moodboard after I've asked you plenty of questions about your brand personality and ideal clients. You review your brand aesthetic before the shoot.

02. Studio Rentals & Location Planning
We secure studios, office spaces, lifestyle settings, or outdoor environments that align with your visual identity, so you don't have to.

03. Outfit Curation & Styling Support
We help you choose outfits that elevate your brand, from polished corporate looks to relaxed lifestyle images. This will be included in the brand aesthetic guide. 

04. Movement, Posing & Confidence Coaching
I guide you through every movement so you never feel awkward. Your confidence will show in every image. These won't be 'cheesy' corporate photos. They will have personality. 

05. Marketing Driven Images
With years of experience as a marketing manager, every photo is captured with the purpose to fill your website headers, landing pages, ads, social media, sales funnels, and email marketing. We shoot with intention here. 


06. Video Services
We offer short-form videos, sales headline videos, testimonial videos, and video ads that help you convert clients. We study what's working online in your industry, and we create engaging content that people actually want to watch.

A GLIMPSE AT MY WORK

ALL YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

what should i wear? how many outfits can i bring?

Choosing the right outfits is one of the most important parts of your branding session. As a Brand Photographer in Victoria BC, I guide you through selecting clothing that reflects your brand identity and appeals directly to your ideal clients. After booking, you’ll receive a full styling guide with outfit suggestions, colour palettes, and tips that align with your industry, whether you're a realtor, coach, entrepreneur, creator, or business owner on Vancouver Island.

Most clients bring 2–5 outfits, depending on the package. For headshot sessions, 2 outfits is perfect.
For full branding photography, 3–5 outfits gives you a wide variety of content for your website, social media, launch campaigns, and ads.

Not sure what looks best? I help you choose outfits during our planning call that photograph well and elevate your overall brand aesthetic.

i'm awkward in front of the camera, do you guide me?

100%. Feeling awkward or unsure is the most common thing clients tell me. As a Victoria BC Branding Photographer, my specialty is helping real people feel confident, natural, and relaxed on camera, even if they’ve never had professional photos taken before.

During your branding or headshot session, I guide you through flattering movements, natural prompts, and easy poses that help you look polished and approachable without feeling stiff. I’ll show you exactly what to do with your hands, posture, expressions, and angles so you feel fully supported.

By the end, you'll be saying, "Wow, that was actually fun and I look like myself, but better."

how do you help with creative direction and planning?

This is one of the biggest reasons business owners choose me for branding photography in Victoria BC. Because I provide full creative direction, including:

✔ Moodboards
✔ Visual identity planning
✔ Location scouting + studio rentals
✔ Brand aesthetic development
✔ Outfit + styling support
✔ Shot lists for website, ads, and marketing materials
✔ Video concepts + scripting for sales or social content

My goal is to help you create purposeful, strategic, and scroll-stopping images that elevate your online presence and position you as an industry expert. You’re not just getting photos, you’re getting a consultant, creative director, and marketing partner all in one.

how soon do i get my photos or videos back?

I know how important fast delivery is for business owners. Unlike many photographers in Victoria who take weeks or months, I provide one of the fastest turnaround times for branding photography in BC.

Here’s what you can expect:
✔ Sneak Peeks: within 48 hours
✔ Headshot Galleries: 2–4 weeks
✔ Full Branding Galleries: 1–4 weeks
✔ Video Content: 2–4 weeks

You’ll receive your final images in a beautifully curated online gallery, ready for immediate use on your website, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook ads, and marketing materials. You have the final choice in images as well. The timeline at which you get your gallery depends on the package you choose and how quickly you choose your final images!

can i bring my team to join in on the photoshoot?

Yes, absolutely! If you’re a business owner, agency, clinic, or company needing team headshots in Victoria BC, I offer group branding sessions that ensure your entire team looks cohesive, professional, and on-brand. You can include:

✔ Team headshots
✔ Team lifestyle photos
✔ Behind-the-scenes content
✔ Group shots
✔ Staff intro video clips (great for websites!)

Whether you have a team of 2 or 20+, we plan your session so everyone feels comfortable and confident on camera. This is ideal for real estate teams, medical clinics, fitness studios, beauty businesses, and corporate teams on Vancouver Island.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. I understand that high-quality branding photography and video is an investment, and one that directly impacts your visibility, conversions, and brand growth. I don't include any interest in these payment plans. We simply divide the cost of the plan over a few months, no extra charge. 

I offer flexible payment plans, as well as custom business packages for companies needing:

✔ Monthly content creation
✔ Quarterly branding sessions
✔ Social media video packages
✔ Website rebuilds
✔ Ad management + content
✔ A full brand overhaul

Whether you’re a new entrepreneur or an established business, we’ll create a package that fits your goals and supports your long-term brand strategy.

do you shoot content for social media or ads? 

Absolutely, this is one of the most valuable parts of working with me as your Brand Photographer + Videographer in Victoria BC. Beautiful photos are great, but something most businesses miss is the creation of strategic content that 1. actually works on social media and 2. brings in traffic. 

That’s why I offer full content creation, including:

- Short-form vertical videos (TikTok/Reels/YouTube Shorts)
- Paid advertising content (Facebook/Instagram/Google)
- Website banner videos
- Product demo videos
- “About Me” brand films
- Social media lifestyle clips
- Behind-the-scenes content
- Testimonial videos
- Sales headline videos

Whether you’re launching a new service, running a paid campaign, updating your website, or wanting to show up consistently online, we can create high-converting visual content that helps increase:

✔ Website traffic
✔ Engagement + visibility
✔ Sales + inquiries
✔ Time on page
✔ Brand trust

Everything we create is designed to match your brand aesthetic and marketing goals, so your content works with your business, not just for one day, but for months to come.
