The little things really are the big things – and they deserve to be captured intentionally. I’m really grateful that you’re considering me as your photographer, and I can’t wait to chat about the vision you have for your shoot.

These are FAST becoming my favorite shoots. 15 minutes is ample time to form a connection and to get a good group of photos. If early morning beach shoots are not your thing - pls reach out so we can slot you in for the next shoot date.
I really REALLY enjoy personal branding shoots. They’re a chance to get creative, for collaboration and most importantly, connection. I’ve yet to do a shoot like this where I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed meeting and getting to know the person I’m working with. So many of my friendships have begun like this. If you’re looking for personal photos - pls pop me a message! I’ll include extra time for a coffee and chat ;) @_hayleylombard_art
This was just a lighting test using my Iphone and 9 year old. My special sausage!! @the.socialite_
From slide 3 … I didn’t realize Ellie was taking photos using my phone during her cousin’s session. All I’ve done is make them black and white - I didn’t crop or anything. These are her compositions. So gorgeous! @gaecokayne
Still a few spots left for my studio sessions taking place on Saturday - R850, 20 minutes and 10 high res photos.
You’ll find the booking link in my bio.
It’s always so rewarding to see the work I’ve done in use. So grateful for my ongoing relationship with @lincchurch @thelincsisterhood
POP UP STUDIO - 15 August 2026
My purpose is to create imagery that reveals the true essence of your family - the fleeting glances, the quiet gestures, and the unspoken connection that exists between you. The mischievous sparkle in your children’s eyes, the tenderness in a mother’s gaze, the strength and reassurance in a father’s touch, and the whispered words that only little ears are meant to hear.
These are the moments that matter most. Honest, timeless, and deeply felt. Photographs that become more than beautiful images - they become treasured heirlooms, preserving not only how your family looked, but how this season of your lives felt.
If this resonates with you, I would be honored to help you preserve your own story. I invite you to book a photography session and create something truly timeless together.
These sessions are 20 minutes long, and you get 10 high res professionally edited images. Photos are delivered in color and black and white so that you can download your preference.
You’ll find the booking link in my bio, but if you comment below I’ll DM all the info you need.
