Hi I’m Halie! I’m an adventure-seeking dog mom who feels most alive in the great outdoors. You can probably find me hiking, rock or ice climbing, canyoneering, or backcountry skiing. I’m stoked on trying any and every new adventure.

While Salt Lake is my current home, I’m probably somewhere on the road between Utah & Alaska in my van with my adventure partner, Stephen.

I’m a big believer in doing what you love in this life. Your elopement day shouldn’t be an exception. That’s why I’m more than just your photographer. From inspiring you to include your passions in your day, to finding you that perfect location, to helping you with the travel logistics, and so much more – I’m with you every step of the way to create the experience you deserve

You should feel seen, heard, and connected on your elopement day. So, I’ll be here to empower you to have an experience that will provide just that! Whether we are hiking on a trail, Jeeping up a pass, or helicoptering to a glacier we are gonna have a damn good time. Let’s get the adventure started already!

Cue. The. Stoke!!!

I’M AN ADVENTURER!

“This was the most amazing experience ever. Halie made me feel like I was hanging out with an old friend.

Coming in from another state to a place I’ve never been, I felt so lost and confused. Halie took the time over the months leading up the the big day to answer all the neurotic questions I had. She basically became my wedding planner, she made me feel so comfortable over the phone that I completely trusted her. Once we arrived I was greeting with a heart felt hug and from there out the experience was wonderful. We had an 8 hour shoot and Halie made it so easy, she became part of our family circle, everyone loved her. I’m so glad I chose to elope and the pictures have been post card dreams ❤️”

“We hired Halie for our elopement in the Wasatch Mountains. She went above and beyond as a photographer. She was with us every step of the way to ensure a seamless and easy elopement. I felt like we had our very own wedding planner and photographer all in one! She is such a genuine and kind person and you can tell that she is truly passionate about what she does. Our photos came out better than we could have ever imagined. The photos were a great mix of intimate, creative, beautiful, and uniquely goofy, as catered to our personalities. She has a very calming personality and we both felt very comfortable in front of the camera with her. The whole morning felt very natural and it was so much fun! I would 100% recommend Halie as a photographer for not only her beautiful photos but also the wonderful experience she provides!”

Halie was so helpful in the planning and setting up a location. We knew we wanted to be in Bryce Canyon but have never been so we definitely needed the guidance to choose a spot. She was very knowledgeable about the park and choosing the perfect time to be in our location so we could include the sunrise. Working with her was great, she was friendly and very comfortable to be around. She was great at helping us with poses and kept everything very natural. Getting our pictures back was so exciting, we absolutely love them and feel like they captured us perfectly. Could not have asked for them to turn out better. The best part of this experience was getting to visit a new place and have an incredible view for such a special time. I would recommend her 100%!
