The person behind the camera!
Hi I'm Hayley and I am a photographer based in Redditch, Worcestershire but I cover all areas around the West Midlands, England.
I have always had a passion for photography, I've always been obsessed with taking photos and have a constant need to capture every moment!
I started out by taking equine photos at a yard. I slowly started expanding my photography to different areas learning different techniques and editing skills.
I brought a camera just to take on road trips and holidays so I could capture my family, pets, the scenery and wildlife. I loved using a camera so started taking it with me on every adventure!
I then started taking my photography more seriously in summer 2022 when I regularly started posting on my Instagram page. I then made a Facebook page to expand and get my business to a wider audience.
I made this business to pursue my dream of being a full time photographer one day! I am currently working part time as a receptionist and part time as a photographer - one step closer!
I am an Equestrian and have been riding on and off my whole life but started to ride consistently for the last 4 years, I own a gorgeous 13.2hh Grey Cob Mare. I have previously worked with two lovely rescue ponies and absolutely love Horses! I love photographing horses and visiting new places where there are wild ponies! I have lots of equine experience and will help in any way I can at equine shoots and will also be your personal groom alongside your photographer.
Capturing Horses is what started my journey - I will forever be grateful for that.
I've recently started to delve into Equine Event Photography working for another Photographer and as a Freelance Event Photographer. I have really enjoying covering Showjumping, Dressage & Showing.
I’ve loved capturing schooling photos from my sponsored rider!
How the passion started!
Equine photography has always been my favourite area to shoot as I love capturing the special bond between horse and rider and the beauty of horses, there's something truly special about capturing these precious memories.
I started taking photos of my friends and their horses and realised I really enjoyed taking and editing the photos.
Whenever I'd go anywhere with wild ponies I'd always have to shoot them.
My Photography progress
In 2023 I achieved so much and had so many incredible opportunities!
In 2023, I delved into Wedding Photography which was always something I wanted to do.
2024 has been an incredible year for Weddings and I am so grateful for every couple who has booked me to capture their special day.
I understand how important a Wedding day is for a couple and love being there to capture their special moments they get to look back on for years to come.
I am so exciting to freeze more incredibly special moments next year - my 2025 wedding diary is open!
In July 2023, I hosted Mini Sessions at the Confetti Fields in Pershore, Worcestershire - It was a great success and I was fully booked for the whole day! I shot so many lovely couples, families and children and returned again in July 2024 which was a lovely day meeting so many amazing people!
