You're here because you'd rather live in the moment than stress about getting eveything "just right." When the pressure to have it all perfectly planned starts to take over, that’s your reminder that the best photos come from simply being you.
If you’re anything like me, you’d take open skies over a studio any day. You want photos that feel genuine, like home. Whether it’s the quiet stillness of the Upper Peninsula, the backroads of Indiana, or somewhere in between, I’m drawn to the same things: simple beauty, open space, and a life that feels a little slower.
You want photos that feel natural and honest, the kind that bring you right back to the way life feels in the moments that matter most. That’s exactly what I’ll create for you.
Your photographer comes with built in small town and backroad knowledge, and a love for the U.P. that’s been there since I was a little girl. I know the gravel roads, lakeshores, grassy fields, and trails where the light hits just right, and the spots that feel quiet and private, perfect for photos that actually feel like you.
My sessions are easy and laid back, built around your people, your space, and your story. There’s no pressure, no need to plan every detail. Just time to breathe, laugh, and take it all in while I capture the in between moments that make your life what it is.
All you have to do is show up as you are, and I’ll take care of the rest.
Reach out to get started! We’ll discuss your vision, choose the perfect package, and plan your session details including date, time, and location.
Once you’re ready to book, you’ll sign your contract and pay a 25% retainer fee to officially book your session. In the months leading up, I’ll share tips and guidance, and I’m always here for any questions along the way.
Two weeks before your session, I’ll send over a short questionnaire so I can personalize your experience, along with the invoice for your remaining balance due the day before your session.
A few preview images will be delivered so you have something to get excited about! At that time, I will also send over a print release for you to sign. Your final gallery will be delivered within 3 weeks, with a more exact timeline provided at your session.
Download your images from your online gallery, share them with loved ones, and print your favorites to enjoy for years to come. Don’t forget to use your print store credit!

We booked Haylee for an extended family portrait session and we are so grateful to her for how easy it was to work with her through the whole process. She worked together with us to make sure the final product was what we had in mind and it was very easy to feel relaxed and confident around her because she was so open to our questions and ideas. Our pictures turned out wonderful and I highly recommend working with Haylee!
Our experience was wonderful. Laughter was given out around the clock. We'd never done professional photos before so we were definitely nervous and terrified about how we were going to pose because we didn't know how. Haylee made us feel comfortable and made it so fun! She definitely helped us out with how to pose for our photos too! Overall AMAZING photographer and an even more amazing person. We will definitely be hiring her for future events.
Haylee is such a kind soul. She provides great communication while trying to book which made it very easy for us! She made us feel very comfortable during the shoot and guided us to achieve the best pictures we could! Thank you Haylee for everything, it was a great experience!!

My photography centers around the outdoors and rural life with a focus on capturing authentic, everyday moments. During sessions, I capture both candid and posed shots, and I love working with natural light to create a warm, soft atmosphere in my images. My editing style stays true to the outdoors while enhancing life’s natural beauty.
When you book with me, I require you to pay a 25% non-refundable retainer fee and sign a contract. The deposit must be paid upon booking to guarantee your date and lock in the quoted price.
Depending on my workload, I typically deliver sneak peeks within 3 days of your session date, and final galleries are delivered within 3 weeks. A more accurate timeline will be provided at the time of your session. Please note that I do not work on Sundays or holidays, so those days are not included in turnaround times.
Your session includes travel within 2 hours of Auburn, IN. For locations further out, a travel fee helps cover time on the road, vehicle wear, and upkeep, and sometimes accommodations if needed. This way, I can keep traveling to the places you love!

When I head up north to the Upper Peninsula, I don’t charge for accommodations, just a simple travel fee. That way, you’re only covering the miles, not the overnight stay!
Yes! Vouchers are the perfect gift for graduates, birthdays, holidays, and other special occasions! You can ask me about vouchers by messaging me through my contact form.
