I was given my first camera at the age of 7, and have been passionate about taking pictures ever since.  Prior to devoting all of my time and energy to being a full-time mom, I was a kindergarten teacher.   I have always had a deep appreciation for the  combination of innocence and insightfulness that "new little people" possess.  As a new mom, I remember  desperately wanting to capture each tender moment, every goofy grin and coy gesture of my own two daughters;  I wanted to preserve those giggles and glances forever.   I am now fortunate to be able to blend two of my greatest passions: taking treasured photographs, and working with young children.  My business also allows me to be at home with my daughters while they are still small, for which I am grateful.

 In creating "Haley Barber Photography," my goal was to collaborate with my clients in order to capture  moments and turn them into photographs you will treasure and adore.  You will receive ALL of the photos  (rather than having to choose just one  or two "favorites,"  and then end up paying much more than expected for a package of only those shots).  I give  you the freedom to have as many copies made, in as many sizes as you wish.  I  keep things simple and affordable. 

I have always loved the timeless simplicity of black and white photography, and believe that facial expressions and emotions seem to be enhanced without the distraction of color.   I prefer to use natural window lighting, as it gives a softness to my photographs.  I enjoy color-tinting black and white photos to give them a unique look.  I love to capture naturally playful or loving interactions between parents and their children.  To keep busy toddlers and children interested and happy, I have found that setting up a fun scenario (such as a tea party or a wagon ride) and photographing genuine reactions  is most rewarding. 

I feel honored to be given the opportunity to capture and preserve the precious moments of your life; the amazingly magical state of pregnancy, the essence of your child as he/she evolves through the many  stages of childhood, and the tender and playful moments you share as a family.
