About me
My Story
Hi, I’m Hayley Hay. Mother to three boys, my muses — and a seasoned photographer with a long history (and love) of capturing people and stories. I have lived in the U.K. and Switzerland, am married to a Kiwi, and have bilingual babies, so you could say I revel in diversity. I love my job and I fell in love with photography so deeply that I left my career as a scientist to become a full-time photographer.
My aim is to capture the natural moments, the authentic emotions, and the raw love that make your story unique.
Moments I capture:
FAMILY
Capturing kids and families is so special to me because it combines artistry with a deep emotional connection. It allows me to document and celebrate the beauty of your family whilst creating lasting memories for you.
MATERNITY & NEWBORN
Maternity photos provide a lasting visual memory of the incredible transformation a woman undergoes during this time. Then when the new addition arrives, capturing the newborn stage is a way of freezing time and remembering these fleeting moments as the newborn stage is so short-lived.
HEADSHOTS & PORTRAIT
A high quality headshot, in my opinion, is essential for work purposes and for creating a positive professional impression. Portrait sessions allow us to be a little more artistic than the standard headshot, where creativity can flow and we can experiment. Many people find an individual portrait session to be an empowering, fun and therapeutic experience.
COUPLES & OTHER
No more selfies!, have a couples shoot, it's the perfect way to spend some special time together and create some cool memories of the two of you.
I am always open to other types of shoots if you have something in mind that isn't listed on my website. Please let me know and we can discuss what it is you are looking for.
