I'm so glad you're here.

My name is Hayf (rhymes with life) and I'm a Vancouver-based multidisciplinary creative specializing in candid photography, documentary storytelling, and bold digital design that reflects who you are and the stories that matter most.


Since launching my business in 2022, I'm proud to have become a go-to photographer for 2SLGBTQI+ communities and allies, capturing events, portraits, branding, and family moments across Western Canada.


Born in Beirut and raised on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Tsleil-Waututh, and Squamish Nations, I am a passionate advocate for trans rights and inclusive representation in all forms.


All my work is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves to be seen and celebrated as they are — and that powerful things happen when people feel truly represented.


Alongside my photography, I co-founded Firekeepers Collective, where I serve as creative director. It’s a project close to my heart — rooted in Indigenous and Palestinian resistance, cultural pride, and solidarity. Through our art, apparel, and design, we aim to keep the fire of community alive and share warmth, healing, and purpose with others.

Proud to work alongside those who believe in the impact of honest storytelling.

Hayf made me feel seen, at ease, and confident to be myself during our photoshoot. Their warmth, clear direction (and joy!) made for a great experience, and the photos beautifully captured what I hoped to share. Reach out to Hayf if you're seeking authentic photography and an uplifting experience.

Hayf had a supportive, positive energy that had us laughing the entire photo shoot for our headshots.  They captured that we're a happy, relaxed and easy going team.  Their candid shots were beautiful and captured the essence of our team workshop and will make for a beautiful addition to our company photography. To top it all off they went above and beyond adding extra last minute shot requests and turned it all around for us quickly.  Thank you from the Tandem team!

Hayf made personal branding a fun and comfortable experience! As someone who is a bit nervous about getting in front of the camera, Hayf's expertise and demeanour put me at ease at every step of the process. I am so excited to have professional, personalized images that reflect who I really am -  this was a great investment in my business.
