Family, Maternity, & Newborn Photography

I was a photographer long before I became a mother, but my transition into motherhood has given me so much utter love and tenderness toward the welcoming of new life, the growing of families, and the preserving of the moments that so quickly pass. I’m leaning into a documentary approach to family photos and loving it.

Since experiencing firsthand the fleeting nature of parenthood, my mission is to press pause on your smallest, sweetest moments, in an environment where you can be fully present and natural with your loved ones. I will do my best to simply show up, step back, and tell the story of your family with gentle guidance when needed. I will never ask you or your children to do things you don’t feel comfortable with.

Kind Words

“I think Halley shines especially when it comes to a photo journal style, as she's able to sort of blend into the background while my family and I play, capturing those sweet moments that you always wish someone was around to capture. And because that someone is an amazing photographer, the shot is even better than you imagined.”

Birth Photography

The answer is yes, I can do birth photography! I love birth. (: While I have birthed two babies of my own, I have photographed only one birth, so the realm of birth photography is still somewhat new to me but definitely one I’m interested in. Because of this, my prices are not firm and I would love for us to open up a dialogue to arrange something for your birth story! You can see a sample of my work below.

Let's chat!
