There’s a quiet kind of magic in lifestyle portraits: the way a familiar laugh, a soft handhold, or a fleeting glance becomes something everlasting. My approach is rooted in connection and storytelling, blending gentle direction with an honest, relaxed atmosphere that lets your family simply be. Whether we’re chasing light along the coast, gathered together at home, or exploring a favorite outdoor space, every session is designed to reflect your family’s genuine rhythm and love; the imperfect, beautiful moments that tell the story of who you are right now.
Each image is crafted to feel natural and timeless, rich in emotion and detail — something you’ll treasure for years to come, long after the season has passed.

Working with Hailey Rae Photography was unreal — her vision and artistic eye was everything, and there was never a moment where she didn't have our complete trust. Our wedding day was magical, and she captured every detail and moment impeccably.
"Our experience was the definition of luxury — we felt like ourselves the entire day."
- Sarah and zachary
We told Hailey our vision for a backyard wedding in the spring and she went above and beyond to ensure our photos documented our wedding day perfectly.
"You won't find someone else as magical as Hailey rae— a true artist."
