KIND WORDS
“It was an absolute pleasure to work with Hayf on headshots for me and my spouse. I'm pretty uncomfortable with having my picture taken and usually look like a huge dork as a result. Hayf's warmth and humour put me right at ease and now we both have headshots that were both fun to take and that I actually like looking at!!”
—Ryan
“It was an absolute pleasure to work with Hayf on a mini family session. Hayf's warmth and humour put us all right at ease - our family session was also a huge hit. Hayf was really approachable and our three kids were at ease with them right away. We had never done a professional family photo shoot before and because both the process and product were such high calibre, I know we book one every year. Thanks Hayf!”
—Lindsay

“Hayf’s whole personality brings out sense of play and being seen and wholesomeness that requires capturing! To experience a photoshoot with Hayf is feel like you’re with your kindest bestest friend. I’m extremely shy being photographed but Hayf’s exuberance and joy brought out images that I didn’t know could show that joy and fun! I’m so excited about my current exterior form as a trans GNC person and to have this beautiful experience with Hayf in Vancouver in my favourite outdoor elements will be memorable”

“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 shoot!”
—Science World
“As a non-binary birthing partent, I yearned to be photographed with my pregnant belly but feared being misrespreseted. Hay made me feel saf and seen, as I am. Having someone take your picture is a very intimate thing.
Hayf captured the essence of a very special time in my life so gracefully, so artistically, and with so much warmth and respect for queer joy!”

Her photos are beautiful, sharp, and full of sweetness. Babies love and respond wonderfully to her, so if you are considering a baby shoot I highly recommend it!”
