Capturing what matters most — images that reveal truth and ignite change.
Meet the Photographer
Hello, my name is Hayf
(rhymes with life)
I’m an event, portrait, and lifestyle photographer devoted to capturing people as they are — bold, honest, and full of stories. My work is rooted in the belief that being seen is a powerful act — one that can transform how we see ourselves, each other, and create space for meaningful change.
"Hayf is a sweetheart. Hayf is a pro. Hayf is an artist, a visionary, a radiant good person. Hayf is one of a kind.
And you know what’s really bonkers? They'll take photos of you that somehow summon the golden glow of your best, most appealing self.
And you will love them. Even if - especially if - you hate having your photo taken as much as I do."

Climate Activist, Federal NDP Leader Candidate, Filmmaker
"We had a beautiful sunset photo shoot with Hayf to celebrate our engagement.
I'm often uncomfortable around cameras, but Hayf helped us feel connected and playful. I went from nervous and anxious to relaxed and engaged...and the resulting pictures show it. The problem will be picking just one for our save-the-date cards! I highly recommend Hayf for both his photographic eye and his easy-going, joy-supporting nature."

Engagement Session
Getting your family photographed by Hayf is just pure joy.
Somehow they always manage to capture the kiddos in their truest essence, completely at ease. I look forward to opening the photos with glee and they always end up being the ones that I print out and cherish for years.

"Hayf was incredible to work with – we had two very different events to shoot, and one with very challenging lighting situations to account for. They not only rose to the challenge but captured the joy and excitement of each event beautifully. The whole team at Science World was super happy with the results – and to top it all off, Hayf was such a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend hiring them for your next event!"
