PORTRAIT & EVENTS PHOTOGRAPHER

hey there!

I'M HEATHER

The heart behind HayLo Photography.

I’m a wife, a mama, a storyteller, and the girl who will probably fix your hair, hype you up and cry right along with you on your wedding day.

For over 27 years, I’ve had the honor of capturing people in every season of life... the butterflies before “I do,” the chaos and beauty of growing families, seniors stepping into what’s next and the quiet in-between moments that end up meaning the most.

My style is timeless, true to color and full of feeling. I want your photos to look beautiful today, ten years from now and fifty years from now. More than that, I want them to FEEL like you.

Around here, perfection isn’t the goal. Connection is. Joy is. Real laughter, windblown hair, sandy feet, happy tears and the kind of moments you never want to forget.

I’m based in Florida and photograph weddings, families, seniors, and brands throughout Tampa, Tallahassee, Key West, Colorado Springs and wherever your story takes us.

If you’re looking for someone who will make the experience fun, keep things easy and capture the beauty in what’s real, I’m your girl.

Let’s tell your story.

I CAN'T IMAGINE DOING ANYTHING ELSE

Photography has never just been a job for me, it’s been part of who I am for as long as I can remember. I can’t imagine doing anything else because this work lets me witness the moments people hold closest: the beginning of a marriage, the love of a growing family, the pride of a senior year, the milestones that pass too quickly. I get to turn fleeting moments into something lasting. To serve people in such meaningful seasons of life, create images they’ll treasure for generations and do it with my whole heart... and that is something I will never take for granted.

I LOVE WORKING WITH PEOPLE WHO

find joy in the little things

I love working with people who find joy in the little things - the in-between moments, the genuine laughter, the messy beauty and the memories that often matter most. The people who know life doesn’t have to be perfect to be worth celebrating.
