Visual poetry for the wild soul
Hiii! I’m Haylee— wedding and portrait photographer, inspired by human connection and the stunning planet we call home. I believe photography is more than capturing moments—it’s about
Documenting the love, joy, and beauty of your life ensures that these memories live on, long past us.
Come as you are, and together, we’ll create images that feel alive—full of energy, depth, and the raw beauty of your love.
Over 800+ clients have trusted me with their most precious moments. I specialize in weddings, couples, and the incredible journey of motherhood. I also welcome families and seniors who desire something unique—art that resonates on a deeper level. My style blends candid and cinematic approaches, combining authenticity with artistry to craft images that are as breathtaking as the moments they represent.
I document the raw, unfiltered emotions, the stolen glances, and the quiet in-between moments that make your love story unique. As an artist of moments, I approach every wedding, elopement, and session with the intent to preserve the day exactly as it unfolds—naturally, beautifully, and
with artistic precision.
While I have a deep connection to the moody Oregon Coast, my artistry and love for travel have taken me far beyond the Pacific Northwest. I've had the honor of documenting love stories across the world, and my heart is always drawn to new landscapes, cultures, and love stories waiting to be told. Whether on a rugged coastline or in a faraway destination, I’m ready to capture your day wherever your love takes you.

My approach is all about capturing the authentic, raw, and unfiltered moments that make your story yours.
No forced poses, no awkward half-smiles—just the real, good stuff. While I can shoot a gorgeous sunset portrait, I’m here for more than just pretty pictures. This is about crafting something meaningful, not just ticking off a shot list. If you’re looking for perfectly posed, traditional photos, we might not be the best fit. But if you’re ready to embrace the unscripted beauty of your love, let’s create magic together.
More than a photographer, I’m your friend. Connection and trust are at the heart of everything I do. I want you to feel like we’re in this together because when you’re at ease, the magic truly happens. Most of my couples start out saying, “We’re awkward and hate getting photos taken,” but by the end, they’re laughing, relaxed, and raving about how much fun it was. My ultimate goal is for you to have an incredible experience while I capture your most authentic selves.
Traditions are optional, and I’m all about breaking the mold. Whether it’s exchanging vows on a cliffside, rocking a black wedding dress, or skipping the cake entirely, I’m here to champion your unique vision. Weddings aren’t about ticking boxes—they’re about creating a day that feels like you. I’ll be by your side to document it in a way that brings back the emotions, the love, and all the memories for years to come.
Your photos are the one thing from your wedding that grows in value over time. Years from now, these images will transport you back to the love and joy of your day, becoming priceless heirlooms for generations. I align my business to work with couples who see the value in authentic, meaningful photographs.
and your photos should reflect that. I don’t stick to a one-size-fits-all style because every couple’s story is unique. From the way I interact and shoot to the way I edit, everything is customized to capture the real emotions and vibe of your day. These photos are your memories, and my artistic choices are all about making them meaningful for you. Let’s create something timeless together.
I am limiting the number of weddings and sessions I take on in 2025 to give every couple my absolute best. This allows me to stay inspired, and be fully present for all the moments that matter. And deliver with faster turn around times. I’ve been the photographer who shoots 40+ weddings a year, and I know the burnout isn’t fair to my couples. By focusing on fewer events, I can give you the care and creativity you deserve.
I’ve been to hundreds of weddings, so I know all the tips and tricks to make your day unforgettable. From saving money and getting permits to building a stress-free timeline and creating meaningful moments, I’m here to help. No question is too small, and I’ll be by your side every step of the way to ensure your day is seamless and full of joy.
Love is love, and all are welcome here. Come to me as you are. I’m committed to creating an inclusive space for everyone. It’s an honor to document the love stories of LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples with the same care and passion as any other. Whoever you are, whoever you love, I’ll be there to capture your milestones with an open heart and no judgment.
For me, photography is more than just pretty pictures—it’s about creating an experience. My goal is to make you feel completely seen and celebrated, whether you’re planning an intimate elopement in nature or a grand destination wedding halfway across the world. I thrive on weaving your love story into the landscapes around you, finding those jaw-dropping, once-in-a-lifetime locations that make your photos feel like works of art.

Just a simple small town girl
Typically it goes
Sessions: 3-6 weeks
Weddings 7-10 weeks
It can vary depending on if I am in busy season or not. I work constantly to get them out within these timeframes! Each package has a guaranteed amount however I choose to not cap my clients galleries. Meaning you get all the good photos of your session for no additional charge
My prices are firm.
Price is a reflection of the wedding day alone. The time I am there + the time it takes to edit your images.
Any add on's listed in each package are something I include for free, and choosing not to use them, or requesting less images will not change the overall price.
I do have a few example packages but I am open to creating in between packages like 6 hours of coverage or if you are wanting more coverage like full wedding weekend documentation

1. Depending on your package chosen, a non refundable retainer is paid to hold your spot. The remaining about is due the day of (but before) your session.
1 week before for weddings + elopements.
If retainer is is paid but balance is still owed after session, I will not begin working on your photos until balance finalized
2.I’m sure you can imagine that every destination has different costs + requirements.
ex: Flights, accommodations, do I need to stay at a specific resort, do I need a rental car.
If its somewhere I can drive to it would cover gas + a room if I need to stay the night (over 4 hours away)
Before contracts are signed + deposits are in place we will have discussed a flat rate for the wedding + travel. That way you know the total amount due and there will be no hidden fees popping up anywhere.
The deposit required for destination packages is
50% of the cost of travel + the initial retainer
I will do all my own booking in terms of flights + stays to alleviate additional stress on the both of us. Accommodations and travel will be booked within 2 weeks of signing the contract and paying the retainer.
Working with couples is my bread and butter but I do extend my services to all types of clients. Families, maternity seniors, branding, I am down for it all! You may notice I almost always choose not to share my clients' kids and families on my social media. If I am thinking about posting photos that involve kids I will discuss it with you first (:
I'm based out of Brookings, OR/ Crescent City, CA
Honestly most clients do choose to come to me because I know so many magical places in this area. However I absolutely love to see the world and capture your stories in the places that mean most to you. So YES I do travel but travel costs will apply 1 hour away from where i’m based
