Not your average yearbook photo.
I’m Hailee
Okay listen, I love love LOVE capturing senior photos and I’m not just saying that! Before I went full-time with photography, I spent 5 years as a high school teacher and I absolutely loved it!
As a teacher, I always wanted my students to feel comfortable. I aimed to help build their confidence (because let’s be real, High School isn’t always a walk in the park). And honestly, I just wanted students to feel like they could fully be themselves and be celebrated along the way.
Fast forward and now, I’m a full-time photographer and stay-at-home mama to my sweet girl, and I’m all about creating a senior photo experience that feels relaxed, fun, and full of good vibes only.
When you book with me, it’s not just about the photos. It’s about the experience. It’s about feeling celebrated, seen, and hyped up.
Everyone has a favorite teacher and my goal it give you that “favorite teacher” feel when your celebrating this huge milestone!
When you look back at these pictures, I want you to think:
“Wow, I actually loved who I was in that season of life.”
Here’s why my seniors love their photos…
This isn’t about just getting a good photo for grandma’s fridge (although that’s a bonus).
It’s about capturing this season in a way that feels true to who you are right now and then still feels beautiful years from now.
If you want:
✨ A session that feels fun, not forced
💃 Natural poses that show off your real personality
👑 An experience where you’re the star
📷 Photos that actually feel like YOU
Then I think we’ll be the perfect fit.
Why Senior Photography Is Worth The Investment
You only graduate once, babe.
This is your moment… after all the late-night studying, pep rallies, and Starbucks fueled mornings, you’ve earned it. Senior photos are your chance to freeze this once-in-a-lifetime season before everything changes. College, adulting, new adventures… let’s pause and celebrate you right here, right now.
You get to show off your style.
Whether you’re sporty, artsy, glam, or low-key chill, your session is totally custom to you. Want two outfits? Done. A location that fits your vibe? Absolutely. These aren’t your cookie-cutter school pics… they’re a creative way to show the world who you are before your next big chapter starts.
It's a total confidence boost.
Senior sessions aren’t just about pretty pictures, they’re a full-on hype girl moment. With the right poses, location, and a little golden hour magic, you’ll leave feeling like that girl. And when you see those final photos? Insta-posts for days and a serious glow-up moment for your grad announcements.

My Vibe = Natural + Timeless
My approach? It’s all about guiding you through your session while letting things unfold naturally. I want you to have those Pinterest-worthy shots but also all the candid emotions that truly show YOU. I LOVE natural light and edit to keep the colors true to what you remember. My goal? For you to look back at your photos and feel like you’re stepping right back into that time of your life—every little feeling, every funny moment, perfectly relaxed.
Why Beach sessions Make My Heart So Happy
There’s just something about the beach, ya know? The golden light, the sound of the waves, and those soft, natural tones that make everything feel so dreamy. I’m obsessed with the way neutral outfits pop against the sand and sky—it’s timeless and looks so good framed in your home. Think cozy & light. Beach shoots just have this related vibe that lets you be yourself.
My Promise to You...
It’s going to be relaxed, natural and totally comfortable—zero stiff, awkward vibes (you know the ones…we’ve all been there, frozen and wondering what to do with out hands). Not here! I’ll be chatting the whole time (seriously, I don’t stop), guiding with easy posing prompts and little things to do that actually feel fun. We’ll laugh, move around, and capture the real stuff—those in-between moments that make the best photos at Jacksonville Beach. It’s like hanging out with a friend…who happens to have a camera :)
Why I Adore Jacksonville
I moved to Jacksonville Beach almost five years ago, right after getting married, and this city totally stole my heart. Sure, I travel a lot (thanks to family spread all over), but coming home to Jacksonville always gives me that giddy, butterflies-in-my-stomach feeling. The beaches, the sunsets, the local food scene—it’s just the best. Plus, being outside in this beautiful weather is kind of my thing, so it’s pretty much a match made in heaven.
Speaking of local eats—Whether you book a sunrise or sunset beach session, you HAVE to check out these gems after your session and make it a whole date:
Homespun Kitchen - Coffee, avocado toast, wraps, acai bowls, smoothies (I always get the SoCal Acai Bowl, the Lily Avocado Toast with an Iced Vanilla Latte)
Vicious Biscuit - You can’t go wrong with anything on this menu.
Community Loaves - Homemade sourdough and baked goods. My favorite is their “Egg Sammy” on rosemary herb sourdough - add onion jam (they have good coffee too!)
Cinottis Bakery - Egg sandwiches, donuts, and coffee. If you’re one of the lucky ones - you’ve tried their seasonal pumpkin donuts!
Parlor Doughnuts - Flaky croissant donuts - I don’t know how else to describe them. Just know you won’t be disappointed if you’re a donut lover.
Breakfast (because who doesn’t love it)
Taco Lu - There’s seriously a taco here that everyone will like and their free chips/salsa are a total sell for me (tacos=life)
Dockside Seafood - Not only is the seafood here amazing but it also gives total Florida vibes being on the water. My favorite is the flounder basket with a sweet tea!
Angie’s Sub Shop - A top pick in our house!! You can’t go wrong with any of their subs and you HAVE to get a big ol’ cup of their sweet tea (local secret, their subs are only $7 after 5pm)
Hana Moon Sushi - This place doesn’t seem like much from the outside but its the best sushi in Jax! My favorite is the Sweet Mango Roll with an order of Spring Rolls.
Hovan Mediterranean - Gyro anyone?? A MUST when you’re in Jax. (closed on Sundays!!)
Lunch/Dinner spots…
If you made it this far, I hope I’ve convinced you that a Jacksonville Beach Photography session is a MUST. Whether you grew up here or you’re just in town for a visit—you will never regret the timeless vibes of a session on the beach. Reach out to me so we can secure a date for you!
