About Haverlee Photography
Haverlee
I’m Haverlee, (hay-verlee), solo parent of three wild things. My photography career was birthed from many years of pain. My life derailed and everything felt unstable and uncertain. The more difficult things became, the more I clung to small moments of beauty. When things felt dark, I clung to the light. And I could always find light in people and in nature. Focusing on others instead of my own dark days brought me joy every time without fail. I always knew I was creative but it took me a while to find my niche! As I ventured into photography, everything fell into place. It was as if I already knew the language, I just had to find the words.
This work is not about me, it's about the individuals in front of my lens. I can’t tell an honest story if I’m constantly interfering, directing, and manipulating moments. I want your photos to render cherished memories from your day with your people, not memories of your photographer. I will do my damnedest to capture how your day felt, the good, the bad, the messy, and the magical. I’m there to tell the beautiful and imperfect story as it unfolds. As time goes on and the details get fuzzy, you'll look back on the photos and things will be even sweeter in your memories, which I’ve learned as I’ve gotten older, is always how life goes.

So much more than photos.
There is no one in the world who does it like Haverlee. Haverlee was my family photographer growing up, she did my Mom’s maternity photos, she did my senior photos, and now my wedding photos. There is something really special about receiving photos that bring you back to moments you don’t want to forget, and that’s exactly what she captures- every single time. I’m thankful for the ways she doesn’t create staged photos, but captures genuine moments. I couldn’t recommend a photographer more than her, and am absolutely convinced I won’t ever go with another photographer!
An Exceptional Photographer and Person
Choosing Haverlee to photograph our wedding and engagement was one of the best decisions we made. Her passion and immense talent for photography are evident, but beyond that, she is a truly remarkable person. From the start, she took the time to genuinely get to know us as a couple and understand the story of our relationship. This thoughtful, intentional approach made all the difference, as she captured our engagement and wedding photos in a way that felt deeply personal and perfectly aligned with our vision for the day. Despite the tight schedule on the day of, Haverlee kept the mood light and fun, helping to ease any stress and allowing us to simply enjoy the moment. Her ability to balance professionalism with a warm, relaxed energy is truly unmatched. We couldn’t be happier with the entire experience and the stunning photos that came from it. We cannot recommend Haverlee highly enough.
An Amazing Photographer!!
We seriously cannot say enough good things about Haverlee and her photography! She photographed both our wedding and engagement pictures and did an absolutely amazing job both times. Every picture was beautiful and we will cherish them forever. Aside from the beautiful photography, Haverlee was also amazing at helping guide the wedding day and gave great advice and input when I asked her all sorts of questions! You are in great hands if you choose her as a photographer-- we highly recommend!
The BEST experience
When my husband and I were first looking at photographers for our wedding, we knew we wanted someone who could capture the emotion of our day so that we could re-live those memories forever. Haverlee did that for us and so much more!! Her photos brought us to tears and are a true treasure. Not only are her photos beautiful, but Haverlee is such a delight to work with. She made our day (and all of the days leading up to it) feel easy and allowed us to stay in the moment. We couldn’t recommend her more! We can’t wait to use her for all our future photos.
