Hi, I'm Haley!
I am a Portland, OR based adventure elopement photographer.
I specialize in low-light work including Magic Hour (pre-dawn), Blue Hour (after sunset), and Night/Astrophotography.
But don't worry, I also LOVE golden hour and sunset!
I primarily work in Oregon and Washington, though sometimes you can find me in Utah, Arizona, California, or Idaho.
I am available for travel worldwide.
I began my photography career as an astrophotographer, but it was only after I transitioned to adventure elopements that I began merging the two styles. I am one of very few people in the world who create fine art astrophotography portraits of couples utilizing multiple exposure techniques like Blue Hour Blending. Each piece is truly a labor of love.
(You can read more about what goes into a piece like that here.)
The difference between landscape astrophotography and couples astrophotography is... YOU.
YOU are the reason I do what I do.
I love getting to know you, and I want to be friends forever! Spending quality time and building lasting relationships are at the core of my life and my business; I believe that a large component to strong and meaningful relationships is sharing experiences together.
I am obsessed with the “magic” times of day when the light is soft and gooey and perfect. You will find me squealing with excitement at every sunrise and sunset. I might even be jumping up and down. And clapping. I’m definitely ruining the audio of my friends’ iPhone videos because I can’t stop saying “OMG IT IS SO PRETTYYYY”
I. Freaking. Love. The. Stars.
I’m also a recovering “afraid of the dark” girl (honestly, idk how that works but anyway…)
Give me the Milky Way or the Aurora borealis and I will lose my mind, every single time.

FUN FACTS
I tried downhill skiing for the first time in February ‘23 and fell in LOVE. I even dipped my toes into backcountry touring! If there is a new skill or activity, I am all over it. From outdoor adventures to travel, or photography skills to dance, I want to learn all the things.
I also love to learn about other people.
Tell me your stories. Tell me what you LOVE. Tell me what you're learning. I truly want to hear what you're passionate about!
I LOVE TO LEARN
I'm going on 13 years of marriage to an exceptional man (he's a former Marine turned helicopter pilot turned house flipper turned home inspector). We have one amazing fur-child, Pickles the sheltie.
Together we enjoy camping, hiking, cross country skiing, visiting lookout towers, picking huckleberries, multi-day river trips, and spending quality time with friends & family. Speaking of the most important people in my life... I wouldn't be who I am (or where I am) without their steadfast love and support. I am so grateful for them!

Thanks so much for your message!
I will reply to you as soon as possible - timelines may vary depending on if I am in the field with a client (where I may not have service!)
