I have as you read 5 kiddos well, I have 28 nieces and nephews as well and working with kids is a favorite of mine. I do create posed images, but my main goal is to let them run their session. Let them show me who they are without me trying to pose them. I want to have fun and want you to have fun and create some memorable images in the process. I would love to be a part of your life for a small moment and capture who you really are, create something magical that portrays who you are and the moment you are at in your life at that time.

Haley King Co.

My name is Haley and I have been lucky enough to photograph some amazing families, couples, and newborns for close to a decade. As a mom of three young kids myself, I know how fast our kids grow. I love that I can capture those cheeky grins and giggles in the form of photography that can be looked upon when time just moves way too quick. It's always my goal to leave families with the most relaxed and genuine expressions while offering guidance during sessions to make you feel at ease! My in-home studio can offer newborn sessions during those earliest days, while most of my portrait work takes place outside. I provide clean and natural photography with an emphasis on the most important subject; you! After growing up and living in the Milwaukee area for years, I've recently moved to Delafield with my husband, our three kids, and our dog. I look forward to joining the community, and I hope I can join your family for a short time to capture moments that you will have forever!
