CAPTURING THE MOMENTS THAT BRING YOUR FAMILY JOY
FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY ROOTED IN DOCUMENTARY STORYTELLING
DOCUMENTARY-STYLE PHOTOGRAPHER & VIDEOGRAPHER
I’m Hayley, a Family Photographer & Filmmaker based in Victoria, BC, serving Vancouver Island (and beyond, when you need me). My family sessions are relaxed and real. From motherhood maternity, newborns, and small kiddos, all the way to 15+ family members meeting for a reunion, I'm here to guide and ensure everyone feels comfortable. What you get isn't forced poses, it's real connection.
This is less about the 'perfect behaved smile' and more about your family, exactly as you are. The laughs, cuddles, quiet, and also chaos. The good stuff. We'll always build your session around what feels most like your family. Let's play at your favourite beach, spend a morning at your favourite cafe, explore a trail with your kids.
At the end, you'll walk away with images that feel like your life. Joyful and genuine. Photos your kids will hold someday, and even show their future kids.

Hayley’s photography is enchanting. She has a positive energy that allowed us to feel instantly comfortable in front of her camera. Her photography wasn’t just about perfect shots, but also having fun, laughing, and making the entire experience enjoyable. The photos feel natural, unposed, and genuine. Sharing these moments with our friends and family was so special.

Yes, I have 3 main packages ranging from quick 20 minute sessions, to those longer 'documentary style' sessions. And I even offer family videos!
I have over 10 years in this industry and I’m confident in how much energy, time and support I give my clients before, during and after the session. Because I take a very limited number of bookings per year, you are my top priority. Prices range between $800-$2000
Depending on your location, I will provide you with plenty of examples of what you can wear! You’ll receive an ‘Outfit Guide’ or a Pinterest Vision Board for your session to help inspire your outfit choices.
You’ll receive sneak peek images within 2 days of the session! This way, if you don’t love the colours/edit of the image (which has never happened), you can let me know before I finalize the rest of the edits!
In 2 Days: Receive your sneak peek images

In 4 Weeks: Your final gallery will be delivered
I know you’ll love your photos because you get the final choices in images!
