Heather feels fortunate that strangers, friends and family are willing to pay her to take their pictures, since it’s so much fun. She loves taking photographs, because they make people so happy.

Heather likes candid pictures, interesting details and natural light the most.

She has been shooting photos professionally for five years, and has worked with children, families, pets, babies, parties and both assisted and served as lead photographer on weddings. She feels compelled to tell you that she wells up at especially moving moments at weddings, and she wants to capture those feelings with her camera. She wants you to feel those things over and over again as you look at your pictures through the years.

She is based in Southern California. If you would like to book her for an event or a private session with your family, the family pet, the children, your engagement, anniversary or just because you need a pretty picture, feel free to contact her for rates and more information. She will also travel several hours in any direction, and she will even travel to destination weddings. You are also welcome to visit her at her home studio, by appointment only.

Some images at Heather Hayes Photography are for sale, as well. To purchase, please visit the order page.

Heather also loves new toys. Her wish list is a good place to start if you’re a kind benefactor with more money than you know what to do with.
