Hi I'm Hailey!

Rooted in the Midwest and raised on ag life, I’m Hailey — a Brighton-born, Wayland-living photographer who fell in love with warm tones, golden hour, and capturing the moments that feel like real life, not a pose.

I grew up with gravel roads, sunburnt summers, and the kind of work ethic that comes from watching your family pour everything into the land. That’s why I’m so drawn to couples, families, seniors, and the ag stories that deserve to be remembered. These aren’t just photos to me — they’re pieces of your legacy, the memories your kids and grandkids will someday hold in their hands.🤎

A little bit About Your Photographer ...

At 21 years old, I’m building a life I’m incredibly proud of — one rooted in Iowa, shaped by agriculture, and fueled by creativity. I’ve always had a love for the cattle industry, the western lifestyle, and the kind of everyday moments that feel simple but mean everything. Photography became my way of preserving those moments — the ones you can’t recreate, the ones that feel like home.

In November 2024, I lost my biggest supporter — my dad. He’s the reason I picked up a camera and the foundation behind everything I’ve built. His legacy lives in every story I capture, every client I meet, and every step of this journey.

When I’m not behind the camera, you can almost always find me in the gym, chasing health and strength, or soaking in Iowa sunsets with my fiancé — my best friend, and the man I get to marry this August. I’m a girl who loves small towns, backroads, barns, and everything western that reminds me of where I come from.

I’m here for the stories rooted in home, heart, and heritage — the moments that deserve to be remembered.

With heart,
Hailey H
