introducing
Haley…
To start, I want to declare that everything I am is because of our Lord and Savior! I myself have struggled with idolizing His creations rather then our Creator, so it is important to me now that the life I lead today reflects He who saved me. To do so, I strive to include Jesus in my everyday life and surround myself with His name.
I was baptized at twenty-two years old declaring Jesus Christ my savior in December of 2023 at Colfax Christian Church. I live in the small town of Colfax where my boyfriend and I love on our pup, Maple and two cats, Teton and Sturgill. Our home lives exhibit dancing in the kitchen to the aroma of home-cooked dinners, growing our fruits & veggies in our garden, adding charm to our year 1900 built home through spur-of-the-moment DIY’s, and any outdoor activity that includes our boat, a lake, or a sizzlin’ campfire.
meet THE brand
Hello! I am Haley, and this is Haley Youmans Photography LLC. You have found your photography home! I am the sole owner and photographer of HYP and love how much I am able to indulge in my dreams through my business. For the last 6 years, my passion has encompassed turning raw, genuine moments into framed pieces of your special milestones, frozen in time forever. My style is full of light and love—YOU are a huge part in that! I can’t wait to meet you and make some magic happen!
I was gifted my first camera in 2017 by my Yaya (grandmother) when she moved states and downsized her things. Always snapping photos, I was ecstatic to have my very own Canon T2i and experiment with my friends and family. After a few years, I upgraded to a Canon T7i and founded my first dream, “LooseEndsPhotography”. Taking portraits left and right, that camera got its use! The bulk of my portfolio was built on that DSLR. Within the last year I have switched to the mirrorless Canon R8 and have fallen in love with the seamless shots produced by this tiny (but mighty) machine. Paired with my trusty 35mm lens, we really make some ✨magic✨ happen! I have since re-branded and started, you guessed it, Haley Youmans Photography LLC. While I loved my original name that I dreamt up in High School, it started to feel impersonal. I don’t want to remove myself from my brand, so welcome to my new (and improved) dream!
Aside from photography, I work with smiles! For the last couple years I have been a dental assistant in orthodontic offices fitting expanders and placing brackets on teeth, and now pediatric dentistry working for the “Disney Dentist” where I get to help kids adapt and cope with dental anxiety. I am currently in school to become a dental hygienist (just like my Yaya) and I am very excited for what the future holds!
So now you know a bit of my story! Feel the warmth of Colfax, Indiana in every click. My lens captures the essence of your memories, displaying a bit of myself in them, too. I am so proud of my work and love gaining a new snapshot of my clients life and leaving them with an edit of mine as well. I am ever-pursuing the genuine moments that last a lifetime.
Every moment is a treasure waiting to be seen with your vision in mind, love in my lens, and a camera in hand.
