Intimates by Hayley

Oh hey summer

How’s everyone doing? I myself just got back from a wedding in Macedonia and am jet lagged af!

For my first post of the summer I want to share a quote from the fantastic Moira from Schitt’s Creek:
“Take a thousand naked pictures of yourself now. You may currently think, "Oh, I'm too spooky." Or, "Nobody wants to see these tiny bo***es." But, believe me, one day you will look at those photos with much kinder eyes and say, "Dear God, I was a beautiful thing!"”

Because it’s so true. I know I can often take my body for granted, and it’s so easy to say “I’ll do it another time, or when I lose some weight”, totally missing my own point of why I want to photograph and document myself. Don’t be like me, don’t put it off for “another time”. What’s the worst that could happen? Every year I look back on older photos of myself with so much love. Even if I don’t always feel the same way in the present, I know I will in the future!

Can’t believe summer’s already wrapping up - if you’ve been thinking of an outdoor session, now’s the time

Outdoor sessions are great; carefree and using nature as a backdrop. We’ll find somewhere secluded and go in off-peak times for added privacy. Beach, forest, fields, the world’s your oyster!

I don’t need much light for my sessions - one window is perfect. The size, design or décor of your home doesn’t matter, I can make anything work.
Trust the process and me and you will create something amazing

Sweater weather is here! Pants optional.

It’s the time of year where that late afternoon light is *chefs kiss* 👌

Intimate couple sessions - perfect excuse to cuddle up this autumn

Why is it that older Toronto homes have some of the best light?

That light though 🙌

Dying to get back to shooting intimate portraits. Inside is a no-go until things are better and more restrictions are eased - safety and well-being for everyone is my utmost priority - HOWEVER, distanced outdoor sessions are totally doable 👀

We’re getting closer to some warmer weather, which means beach sessions and I can.not.wait!

To all the incredible women around the world who are accomplishing and striving for wonderful things every day, Happy International Women’s Day!

I’d like to thank all the women who have touched my life in many big and small ways, my life wouldn’t be as bright without you.

A huge thanks to for giving a fantastic workshop last Sunday, which this photo of was taken at!
