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 27 and I live in Grand Rapids, Michigan with my boyfriend, Austin. We met in 2019 while he was visiting Western Michigan University where I was attending my sophomore year. He is the sweetest. We have a fluffy grey and white kitty named Cecelia and we are obsessed with her! Seen is her most recent Christmas picture.
Some of my favorite things to do are hang out with my friends and siblings, working out, crafting, writing, cooking, boxing, hair/make-up. I have always been a person who likes to do a lot of things. I enjoy trying new things, even if I’m not great at it (as frustrating as it can be lol).
When I think about what I like to do most, the first thing that comes to mind is taking pictures. It’s something I did for fun long before I made it into my career. I LOVE a creative shoot! The brainstorming/planning, the purchasing/assembling, the photoshoot, then turning my bedroom into a cave and zoning out for hours to edit the images to perfection. It’s SO fun.
