About
(No drone or video capabilities - I am simply a photographer 😊)
My degree is in photography and graphic design (class of 2016!) I love capturing people’s special moments and designing for organizations. I have a lot of experience in many different kinds of photography including weddings, engagements, graduations, family photos, quinceaneras, boudoir, maternity, etc. It is always an honor and a privilege to be a part of your big day, whatever it may be! I have recently upgraded my camera to give you even higher quality photos, and my turnaround time is usually less than a week!
I currently live in Lake Charles, LA but willing to drive as far as Houston or Baton Rouge for photography clients!

Our experience with Upshot photography was great. She was on-time, brought the right equipment for the job, followed instructions during the wedding, and she gave us all the photos. I'm very happy for picking her.

I hired Hailey for an engagement party and she did an amazing job. She captured all of the special moments throughout the party so that I could just be present and not worry about finding my phone to take pictures. This was the first time that I hired a photographer for a party in my home. I’m so glad that I did and I’m definitely going to hire Hailey again in the future. Even my guests were able to be in the moment more instead of trying to take pictures all night because they knew that Hailey was there. She was punctual, professional, friendly and efficient. I received the link to access the pictures within a few days and they are fantastic! Thank you for helping to make the party a success.
She was fantastic, I was really worried about organizing everyone and our portraits but she did great work and it ran smoothly. Got the photos back promptly and we love them!

Hailey was wonderful! I had to reschedule a couple of times and she was able to accommodate me. She was very pleasant and helped me get the photos I wanted for my daughter's graduation. I highly recommend her for your photos.

We are so happy to have had our special day captured by Hailey, she responded right away after contacting her, and was right on time. We appreciated how she listened to what we envisioned and filled in with other meaningful shots, she was sweet and easy to work with. She also got the pictures right back to us quickly, which was so nice to get to see them almost immediately. We would definitely recommend for your next event! I

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer relatively affordable photography for a few reasons. 1, because I’m new to Houston, so trying to build my clientele quickly. And 2, I never want anyone to miss out on important photos due to finances. Your baby is only newborn once, you only graduate once, you only get engaged once. I want to be there for all of your special moments, and you shouldn’t be put in a financial burden to receive good quality photos.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I try to get a good idea of what kind of product they’re looking for. I try to gauge them and get to know them so they are satisfied with their results.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have an associates degree in Graphic Design (and took 2 college photography classes). Graduated Magna Cum Laude.
