WELCOME
Serving Midland, TX and surrounding areas, Photography x Haley is a natural light photography business specializing in lifestyle photography such as portrait sessions for individuals, couples, families, and seniors! Each session is designed to your liking + aesthetic goals while still maintaining the beauty of photographing life as it happens. My photography aims to tell a story by capturing moments in time to create cherished memories you can hold onto forever. I strive for my images to feel like virtual hugs every time you revisit them. Whether it is a seasonal mini session, cake smash for your one-year-old, engagement portraits, or even a styled shoot to celebrate your creativity, it is worth documenting!
What is lifestyle photography + how is it different from other styles of photography?
Lifestyle photography tells a story by capturing moments in real time to portray life's best memories in their purest, most natural form through an artistic lens.
What does this mean?
It means I use a combination of prompting and natural behavior to pose you for images with minimal formal posing involved.
How does this compare to other forms of photography?
Lifestyle photography is a solid middle ground between two major ends of the photography spectrum: documentary and formal. Documentary photography follows completely natural behavior with no interference from the photographer. Formal photography involves head-to-toe posing of the subjects and hardly ever includes candid images.
Why lifestyle?
Lifestyle photography creates those beautiful images worthy of framing while also capturing individuals in their natural forms. The best example of this would be an image where you are laughing while looking at the camera as opposed to a forced smile. Natural is beautiful. But lifestyle photography allows wiggle room for anyone that may need a little extra help still!
