Getting to the heart of your brand is my #1 goal, so the HR experience goes beyond photography alone! Your portraits should capture the attention and imagination of your clients so that encountering your brand is like stepping into a whole new -irresistable! - world. That's why we'll do intensive brand planning beforehand to deep dive into your visual identity:
Think 'Backyard Blitz' for your brand! 

there's no one alive who is

Within two weeks of your session day, your portraits will be delivered in a private online viewing gallery, from which you'll pick your favourites. Once you've made your selection, you'll receive your final portraits a week later in your online gallery. 

delivery

On your big day, we'll meet at your chosen first location, and after a big hug and hello, start making the most of the session! Laughs, terrible jokes and a great time are all guaranteed.

session day

Before your session we'll meet either over the phone or in-person in Manly for a 90-minute brand consultation. We'll build on the work you've done in your brand questionnaire and planning workbook so far to talk thorugh all the finer details.

Story + Style

Once we're official, you'll receive a brand excavation questionnaire to help us nail your positioning and inform the direction of your portrait session. Be warned: I'll probably ask you questions you've never been asked before! You'll also receive my portrait session planning workbook (valued at $49) to help you cover every detail -  location, outfits and props, oh my!

Having photographs taken can feel incredibly daunting... until you work with Hayley. From the moment you connect, she'll put your mind at ease. The whole process of planning, preparing and the shoot itself, was a total dream – even for someone as unorganised as me. I felt like a million dollars, had such a fun afternoon, and genuinely changed my mindset about what a photoshoot could be like. And the results.... well, I couldn't be happier. I can't wait to use my new headshots to refresh my website and send out to press for upcoming online/magazine features. I got exactly what I wanted and more, and would recommend Hayley every time.

Hayley is a true professional and made the whole (slightly intimating) experience of having your photo taken feel easy, fun and light. 

A really memorable part of the experience for me was the planning call that we had before the shoot. It was so valuable to receive Hayley’s guidance and insight. It meant that I gained a much more accurate idea of the style and vibe I wanted to achieve in my photos. I felt so much more confident on the day of the shoot because of it. Thanks Hayley!

Jess Silsby

Working with Hayley was an incredible experience! From the moment I met Hayley I was dazzled by her curiosity and ability to easily articulate & understand who I am. Her guidance throughout our preparation for the big day helped me immensely to clarify & focus the direction I was taking with my brand.

On the day of shooting itself, Hayley put me at ease. Capturing the perfect photos and cultivating a beautiful office set up that felt like it was made for me, by me! I adore Hayley’s ability to capture a person’s essence, her sensitivity and beautiful nature! I highly recommend Hayley to anyone who needs a wonderfully talented photographer and partner by their side! Thank you, Hayley for everything!

Hayley is an absolute joy to work with. She is the perfect combination of professional, personable and has a unique creative spin that sets all of her clients apart. Hayley knows how to invoke confidence from her clients to make sure they are comfortable and helps them have fun during the process . She surpassed any expectations I had, and went above and beyond to answer my questions, ensure I was getting what I needed and that our time together held true value. Connecting with Hayley has been one of the best things I have done for my business and I am already looking forward to working with her in the near future.

Lori Rae Tomlinson

Hayley is such a joy to work with! Her care for her clients and her passion for photography is obvious from the first email. She did such a great job of making me feel natural and confident in front of the camera, when I am normally a nervous wreck. She has such an ease and grace about her methods that she made it almost too easy! 

She also has this incredible ability to capture your spirit through the lens. The real me shines through in my photos and I'm over the moon about how they turned out, truly I've never loved photos of myself so much! Do not miss out on your opportunity to work with Hayley!

Kristie Lammi

I've always loathed having my photo taken. Partly because I have an unparalleled talent for squinting, blinking, smiling crookedly, guffawing and coughing at just the right (or wrong) time. And partly because photos are awkward. Or at least that's what I thought ... before I met Hayley. In just one session, Hayley managed to completely change how I thought and felt about having my photo taken. She's the genius behind the brand photos on my website, and is the reason I have photos of myself that I can say, without fibbing or exaggerating, that I absolutely adore. And for that, I will love her 'til my dying breath.
