Hayley is a custom professional photographer.  She has lived on three continents, including the one "down under".  She began her career in the arts as a graphite artist.  She received her formal art training at TAFE in Sydney, Australia.  With a natural talent for "seeing" composition and perspective, she has developed skills over the past fifteen years in rendering a unique interpretation of her subjects in graphite.  From time to time, she has art pieces on exhibit at The Art Alliance Center at Clear Lake.  She has won several awards for her work.  But as her husband, I will tell you, she has a heart of compassion, and she gets most enthusiastic about her art when she can use it to bless people going through difficult times in their lives.  I have seen her do this many times, and it's one of the things I love about her. Hayley has shown an interest in photography as a hobby for much of her life (e.g. at family or church events, etc., she has always been the one behind the camera).  But her passion for photography as a profession began to really build about five years ago, when she received her first digital camera (Sony DSC-F717).  She soon found that much of the same creative skills in composition, perspective, and light she had developed through her work in graphite, apply equally in photography.   Moreover, with the digital technology that exist today, the doors to marvelous new possibilities in artistic rendering are standing wide open. As a mother of five kids (and a loving wife of a sometimes strong-willed hubby), no  photographer is more patient with young children than Hayley.  She has a gentle spirit and a fun-loving nature. She is very gifted at capturing the unique beauty and personality of each person she photographs.
