CLIENT FEEDBACK
Hayley has such a lovely, bubbly, yet professional personality. I felt really safe and comfortable in my session with her. I’ve had 2 headshot sessions with Hayley and were super pleased with the results both times. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone :)
Toby Love, Actor
I had a lovely shoot with Hayley - she was kind and made me feel comfortable and prepared before and during the session. We tried a range of different outfits and styles and she made sure I was happy with the photos that would be available! Would recommend!!
Louis Wharton, Theatre-maker & Actor
We thoroughly enjoyed working with Hayley, who has photographed several of our projects. Her photographs fully portray our work effectively and are an asset to our website, social media etc.
Hayley captures the moment beautifully. Her approach is considered and thoughtful. This starts at the beginning of the process where she actively listens to your requirements and composes a brief around this. She is fully engaged during the photoshoot, with boundless energy and enthusiasm for the project. She has a clever knack of putting people at ease and capturing their personality. Professionalism runs thought out her work, from initial conversation, to receiving the final images which are well organised and categorised.

Dual Works - Furniture Design Studio
Hayley is a skilled photographer - she documented a participatory project sharing with a workshop for us. At the end Hayley took beautiful portraits of the community participants proudly wearing the jewellery pieces they had made. She got engaging shots of the event and was very personable and approachable with everyone. Hayley relaxed all of the nervous participants, so much so that several that had insisted they didn’t want their portraits taken started queuing up to take part! She is extremely reliable, and provides great, high quality images in an excellent timeframe."
Emma Daker, Exhibitions & Project Development Manager at Craftspace
“I’ve now worked with Hayley several times and I would highly recommend her. She is professional, friendly and has a great eye for capturing important details live in the moment. She works with her clients to make sure their brief is understood clearly in advance, meaning that she can work unobtrusively on the day of the event itself, when clients are typically at their busiest and yet we can feel confident that the pictures she captures will be high quality and special.”
Dr Caroline Gillett - Community & Public Engagement Manager at SMQB, University of Birmingham
"Hayley is really great to work with - professional, reliable and personable. Craftspace worked with her on Makers and Movers: a Making and Movement project for early years children and their parents and carers at two different community settings in Birmingham. We were particularly interested in recording skills and language development and relationship building and Hayley’s beautiful photos captured these brilliantly.."
Deirdre Buckley, Learning & Engagement Manager at Craftspace
