With six years of experience in fashion photography, Haley happily joined Sarah Ellefson Photography in 2018. She brings her gentle personality and thoughtful eye for detail into every wedding day, intuiting the moment one second ahead for the perfect snapshot. Haley describes her drive for wedding photography as “a beat in my soul that this is something significant for couples celebrating such a big day in their lives.”
In her free time, Haley will often be on a backpacking adventure with her husband, deep in the wilderness of California capturing the vast scenery on vintage film. At home on the coast, she enjoys the farmer’s market and sunset dips in the ocean with her rescue pup, Bear.
