A bout
Photography started for me when I joined my high school A/V (audio/visual) classes and began to mess around with the school cameras. I took A/V classes from sophomore year to senior year, then asked for a digital camera for my graduation present from my parents. It’s been a long journey since- college/film school, internships, odd-jobs, but one thing has remained a constant- photography. Now I sit here in my fifth year of taking pictures as a full time business owner, and I don’t regret a thing. When you love something enough to work at it again and again and again, it’s meant to be and it WILL pay off. Thank you for allowing me to share this passion.

Meet Your Photographer
Hi! I’m Hailie! Thanks for visiting my website!
This website, this job, these pictures I take- they are my baby. They are what I have dedicated almost my entire 20’s to. I take it very seriously. With that being said, this job is FUN! This job is freeing, empowering! I am so grateful.
If I had to choose a few words to describe myself I’d choose- passionate, motivated, open-minded, and curious.
When I consider whether I’m an introvert or extrovert, I always feel somewhere in the middle.
I’m a Taurus, but don’t ask me what that really means because I’m clueless when it comes to astrology! (iykyk)
I am the oldest of five in a blended family.
I am an over thinker and people pleaser, so please be nice to me (lol)
I grew up doing competitive dance and dance team in High School (at Grandville!) I LOVE taking pictures of dancers and movement.
I graduated from Western Michigan University in 2019. Go Broncos!
I believe that everyone deserves to have their memories preserved for a lifetime to come.
Get to Know Me —
I’m 29 and based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where I live with my fiancé, Austin. We met in 2019 while he was visiting Western Michigan University, where I was in my sophomore year, and we’ve been together ever since. We are currently planning our wedding for July 2027, which has made being immersed in the wedding industry even more fun and meaningful.
We also have two cats who we are completely obsessed with: a fluffy grey and white kitty named Cecelia and our ragdoll, Cosmo.
Some of my favorite things to do include spending time with my friends and siblings, working out, crafting, writing, cooking, boxing, and doing hair and makeup. I’ve always been someone who loves trying new things, even if I am not great at them at first.
When I think about what I love most, photography is always at the top of the list. It started as a hobby long before it became my career. I truly love creative shoots, from brainstorming and planning, to gathering and putting everything together, to the shoot itself, and then ending the day by editing for hours while fully in my own little creative world. It is something I never get tired of.
