Easter is my second favorite holiday pulling a close trail behind Christmas. As a Christian and a business owner, it's my personal mission to have God as my center point in my business. So any opportunity I get to bring Him to focus, I jump on it! So my sweet little newborn client, Lila, got all dolled up in the cutest little newborn bunny bonnet complete with this set styled by me! "He is not here; For He is risen as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go qu

This family is so precious to me! Brittany and I grew up together and now we both have three children! It's so crazy to look back on how fast life really does go by! When Brittany reached out and told me she wanted newborn portraits I was OVER THE MOON to do them for her! Per my normal neutral color schemes, Miss Rynlee got the mix of neutrals paired with a few pops of color! She had the most beautiful complexion and was literally a dream baby to work with! Her big brothers w

As 2018 came to a close and I looked back over the year from a business stand point I was burdened. While the year was successful and many blessings came from it, I still didn't feel like I had done everything He wanted me to do. I felt like I had missed something. I knew that God had been calling me to do something more and I had been praying about it every day but I didn't have a clear answer on what it was. I'm probably not like most people who start a new year with a mile

It's been a busy summer with so many babies in the studio! I have loved every minute of it though! This sweet girl was an absolute doll and her sisters sure did adore her too! Her session is probably a favorite one of my to-date since she was the first girl to use my carriage prop! I just love how their sibling portrait turned out with all three girls and the carriage! Enjoy my favorites from Ellie Jay's newborn session!! #NewbornPortraits #OneontaALPhotographer #BoazALPhotog

It was a bittersweet day for Brad and Holly as they gathered at a private residence in Boaz, Alabama for their wedding day! Surrounded by a very small amount of friends and family they shared their vows, sang a hymnal and said "I do". It truly was a gorgeous day for a wedding, although the Alabama humidity was at its best that day! From purple roses to an Alabama grooms cake and then Alabama shakers at the send off, this wedding is one not to miss! Congratulations Brad and Ho

Spring 2018 Family Sessions are in full swing! This precious family had a gorgeous landscape at their home filled with great light, a perfect dirt road and the cutest little boy in town! Paired with the awesome location this family was by far the sweetest and the most down to earth! I enjoyed spending my Wednesday afternoon with them capturing new memories for them! Enjoy this sweet little family session!! #BoazALPhotographer #OneontaALPhotographer #HayleyGibbsPhotography #Al

The week leading up to Timothy and Paige's wedding the forecast called for rain all day on their wedding day. Praying all week that we would have no rain until after all the portraits were done seemed like a mighty big prayer request. The big man upstairs smiled down on their wedding day with sunshine all morning and some crazy Alabama humidity! But we were all so glad to tough it out through the humidity! I first met Timothy and Paige last spring when Timothy's mom booked a

Aiden came to see me for his milestone session just a few days ago! He had the sweetest little personality and let it shine through all of his images from the session! I love that mom brought these adorable little Carhart overalls for him because they paired so well with this set I had put together for him! Milestone/Sitter Sessions are an easy favorite for me because babies are forming their personalities at this age and they aren't as mobile so catching all the cuteness is

There once was a little Princess named Josea. Josea and her mom traveled way far in the land to a beautiful creekside farm. There on this farm they were to have portraits made of them for Josea's mother was expecting a new baby brother! Josea was so excited to explore over this place her mother had brought her to! While walking the creekside, Josea came upon a new best friend who goes by the name of Frogger. Frogger was a small little fellow and loved to cuddled by Josea. He

This newborn session was a little different than my usual newborns. Elliott was actually 6 weeks new when he came to see me in the studio! My typical cutoff age is 14 days for newborns and while it doesn't sound like a big deal, it really is! But with all things considering, Elliott did FANTASTIC and never cried once while they were at the studio! He loved being behind the camera and grinned at me so many times! Melted my heart! Enjoy Elliott's earthy style newborn session an

It really seems like just last week we were waiting at the hospital for Eyan to make his appearance. This past year has went by oh so fast and it's been such a blessing to watch my best friend grow into her knew calling of being a mom! Eyan, you have such a sweet little soul and personality that could light up any room! I have loved watching you grow over the past year! First birthday sessions are planned 1-2 months in advance between the moms and myself! If you have a little

Ricky and Donna met me on this warm Saturday afternoon at what will soon be the place they tie the knot! Ricky was such a laid back groom and was just along for the ride! He was such a  good sport and let us drag him all over the place that day! Donna has such a sweet soul and I loved finally getting to meet both of them! We jokingly talked that everyone she knows knows me but she said I finally get to say I've met you now! Lol! This gorgeous wedding barn is located just insi

From the birth announcement to the maternity session and now the newborn session, it has been so fun for me to document this whole journey for this family! I wanted to go back a little bit and showcase some of their previous sessions that lead up to the newborn session! I thought this was a good twist on my usual and it's always fun to look back over the course of time! I hope you enjoy this beautiful blog post I've put together!! My favorite image of their family/maternity s

When sweet baby Raeyla came in to see me when she was ten days old! She was such a perfect little baby in the studio that day! I don't think she cried once the whole time she was here! We tried to incorporate a little touch of spring in her session with the daffodils that have recently bloomed! I just love the simplicity and touch that fresh flowers bring to a simple set! It makes an image so timeless! Enjoy these adorable favorites from her gallery! #HayleyGibbsPhotography #

Hal & Olivia had the most perfect weather for their wedding day! Especially since it was the day before New Years Eve! The day was shared with their closest friends and family at a location that is a family friends getaway place! Tucked in the woods, we did most of their bride and groom portraits down beside the creek! It was the perfect, private location to share their first looks for the day. :) This wedding was complete with gold shoes, a pink engagement ring, fur coat, ma

Eric and Lauren had a small wedding surrounded by their closest family and friends on a Sunday afternoon in November. They chose the new wedding venue in Harvest, AL, Harvest Hollow Venue and Farm. This venue came out on the top of my list for 2017 as my favorite venue that I've shot a wedding. It is draped beautifully with white features all throughout the venue including gold accent pieces to give it that extra pop! When I arrived on this particular day, the owners were so

It's here!! And it's done!! It's the BEST of NEWBORNS 2017!! I'm sharing all of my favorites from this years babies! I can't believe it's the the end of 2017 already! I really feels like we just got started with this year! It has been a super busy year for newborn sessions with a whopping 32 babies! Actually 33 if you count the twin session I had recently! ;) As my first full year as full time, it amazes me at how much this business has grown and how much I've grown artistica
