Wisconsin wedding photographer
Based in Fond du Lac, WI
I’m Hailey, a 20-something mama with a severe Dunkin’ iced coffee addiction, and a travel itch that never seems to fade.
Hi friend!
Even from a young age I knew how important pictures were, and that those moments frozen in time were all that we had to hold onto, so that we can preserve those special moments and special people!
My very first camera was a pink 1990’s Barbie Polaroid. You could often find me directing anyone who would listen to get in front of it.
I’m positive that being a photographer was written in the stars for me.

Becoming a mother only deepened that calling. I always knew I was meant to create a life centered around family, presence, and love. Before I even knew my children’s names, I built this business for them—for a life where I could create meaningful art while still being fully present for the moments that matter most. Motherhood shapes how I see the world, and it deeply influences the way I photograph yours.
When I’m not behind the lens, you can find me exploring pretty places, experiencing something new, annoying my husband to the best of my ability, redecorating my house, and 100% drinking an iced coffee at any time of the day.
There’s a very good chance you will hardly ever see me without a beanie and leggings (unless it’s your wedding day, of course!), and if you want to know who holds the world record for watching Friends the most, look no further. I have a Friends quote for any situation.
It took me many mistakes, and a few wrong turns to come to the realization that my first true passion can absolutely be my purpose.
love letters
the moon in all her forms.

Autumn here in the Midwest, crewneck sweatshirts, the smell of a campfire, dreaming of my future A-frame cabin in the woods, and the goodbye kisses my husband gives me every morning.

My Approach
It has never been my goal to do this job for a paycheck, and my passion does not come from creating images without knowing the people and the story behind them.
I’m here to capture your meaningful, messy, and real moments with your favorite person and your beloved people. The laughs, the quiet in-betweens, the beautifully candid, deeply intimate moments that make your story yours. I want you to show these photographs to your grandbabies someday so they can feel your love and aspire to it.
I’ll guide you through each moment with care and be by your side every step of the way—creating a calm, stress-free wedding experience and a gallery of warm, true-to-color images you’ll treasure for years to come. Just as sure as the moon controls the tide.
I truly mean it when I say I am so dang excited to learn all about you and your love.

"From our first conversation to our engagement session and our wedding, Hailey is phenomenal. She makes you feel so comfortable and creates amazing, authentic images.

“Hailey isn’t just the photographer who did my branding session—she’s truly one of the most genuine, caring people I’ve met in this industry. She captured my branding session so beautifully and so true to me, and the images of my spouse and me feel real, emotional, and full of the love we have for one another.
