Hi, I’m Haley Olsthoorn — your personal hype-girl and the heart behind the lens.
What began as a creative outlet quickly grew into a full-blown passion — a way to celebrate big chapters and catch all the beautifully in-between details most people miss. Now, I get the best of both my worlds; part-time nursing, full-time photography.
My approach is simple: I meet you where you are. Whether you're a little nervous in front of the camera or bursting with ideas, I’m here to bring your vision to life, ease your worries, and hold space for every part of you. I want your photos to feel like you: honest, vibrant, full of life. Not just how you looked, but how you felt.
If you’re looking for someone who will cheer you on, gently guide you, and document the real stuff — I’m your girl.
My whole world
My story
My family and I made the move from The Yukon to The Okanagan in 2018, where we've built a beautiful life together surrounded by sunshine, lake days, and our two wild and wonderful kids. In my "spare time" (what's that again?), you’ll find me soaking up the sun, finding ways to move my body, and chasing every little sliver of joy I can find. Most of my joy right now comes from watching my littles grow and amaze me each and every day.
For over a decade, I had the absolute honour of supporting families through some of their biggest, most vulnerable moments as they welcomed tiny humans into the world. It taught me to hold space for people in every version of themselves — to witness strength, softness, joy, and everything in between. And somewhere along the way, I realized I was just as drawn to the moments after the milestones. The quiet glances. The wrinkled baby toes. The laughter that sneaks out unexpectedly. The pieces of life that don’t always make it into words, but deserve to be remembered.
That pull is what led me to photography.
