About
Hey there! I’m Haley (aka Hayy), founder of Rooted In Poppy Photography — a Maryland & DMV photographer specializing in weddings, surprise proposals, elopements, couples, events, portraits, and candid storytelling photography. 📸✨ I’m here for the real-life moments — the genuine laughs, the chaos, the connection, and the golden-hour magic that makes your story feel real. 🫶🏼 My sessions are laid-back, fun, and full of hype-you-up energy from start to finish. No stiff posing, no awkward vibes — just genuine connection and images that actually feel like you. Inspired by my late grandfather, Poppy, and rooted in legacy, I create warm, emotional, true-to-color imagery with a candid storytelling approach that turns moments into lifelong keepsakes. 💛 Based in Frederick, Maryland and serving the entire DMV area (and beyond!). Travel is always welcome for an additional fee. ✈️ Let’s create something beautiful! 💖

Haley was amazing! She was able to help me with my surprise engagement within a week’s notice, was very enthusiastic, and a great person to work with. We had some crazy circumstances that delayed our arrival by over an hour and not once did Haley make us feel rushed! She captured our moment beautifully with both pictures and video, and was an awesome photographer to work with. I would recommend her for anyone’s surprise proposal, she is wonderful!!

Haley was absolutely wonderful to work with from start to finish! Her expertise in surprise proposal was vital to me pulling it off to surprise my now fiancé! She was easy to work with, communicative throughout the process and went the extra mile to make the moment so special and capture it all! Truly helped make our moment one to remember!

Haley was warm, professional, and came prepared with great poses that made the session feel natural and relaxed. We received many beautiful photos that captured this special moment. She was communicative throughout the entire process and very flexible with location, giving us the option to do an outdoor shoot or pivot to a cozy in-home session depending on the weather. Highly recommend!

Haley was great from the minute I messaged her. Then during the session she made it much fun and her enthusiasm and energy made us feel like we were hanging out with a friend. Made for a fantastic shoot and I can’t recommend her highly enough

Working with Haley was such a genuinely fun and creative experience. From the start she created an atmosphere that felt relaxed, collaborative, and full of positive energy, which made the entire shoot feel natural and effortless. She has a great instinct for composition and lighting, but what stood out most was how she encouraged creativity and movement while still guiding the process with a clear artistic vision. The whole session felt less like a formal photoshoot and more like a shared creative exploration, and that energy really shows in the final images. I’d absolutely work with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who brings both professionalism and great creative spirit to the experience.

Details: Solo portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • High fashion (highlights style) • I'm flexible • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.
