After over a decade in the photography industry — from weddings and portraits to running a full-time business and building a design studio — I’ve learned a lot (sometimes the hard way). And now? I’m here to share it.
These mentoring sessions are designed for photographers at any stage who want honest, personalised support — whether you're refining your client experience, launching your website, pricing with confidence, or just trying to figure out what’s next.
Because I know what it’s like to be starting out, stuck in the middle, or just craving someone to bounce ideas off who’s been there.
I absolutely love my new site. It's so so good that I almost don't believe it's my work displayed there. That's how good a job Haley has done creating a visually appealing site. She's also captured my warm, friendly voice so so well I know that it's just going to appeal more to the people who come across it
The navigation is so easy and intuitive and Haley knows exactly what content sections are needed.
Haley is so easy to work with, and totally knows her stuff when it comes to websites and SEO. She listens to what you want and then helps bring your vision to life. If you are thinking you need a makeover, or just a new site - you can't go wrong with Haley.

She completely changed my whole mindset. I first came across Haley's Photography Mentor services in October 2019. At the time my photography business was not much more than a dream. In just three mentor sessions she completely changed my whole mindset and approach to business, not to mention helping me to improve my editing and increase my average sale by hundreds of dollars. I can't recommend her highly enough if you want to fast forward your photography hobby into a profitable, sustainable business. To have her support, enthusiasm and belief in me as a photographer and a business owner is amazing. I am eternally grateful that I get to learn from such a experienced, New Zealand based photographer. She is very generous in the knowledge that she shares, completely down to earth and heaps of fun to be around!

I could never have imagined how helpful mentoring with Haley could have been in both my photography & wedding venue business.
Haley is generous in sharing her experience and knowledge (in so many systems/processes) and is extremely efficient which makes the whole mentoring experience so exciting & productive. The follow up emails with supplementary loom videos and recording of zoom meetings provided has ensured follow through of improvement projects.
I look forward to continuous improvements to my businesses with more mentoring in the future!
