More about Haley Y....
What do you love about your job?
My favorite part of photography is capturing a moment in time to cherish and hold onto forever. The fact that images are able to say so many different things is fascinating to me and something I really try to focus on when doing my job. Because it is only just one frame, the challenge to make each image convey a personality and tell a story is the thing that pushes and excites me every time I pick up the camera.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
With portrait shoots and wedding photography, I try to get to know the subject(s) as best as I can in the limited amount of time I have with them. If I can sense their personality, then it's something I can work on tapping into through their photos. I think it's the most important thing to the client and it's definitely something I've received positive feedback on.
