ABOUT ME...
Hey, I’m Hayley, based in Mangawhai, camera in hand, chasing the kind of moments you can’t fake. I’ve spent the last 8 years capturing life in all its raw, wild, beautiful glory... through weddings, branding shoots, family chaos, and everything in between.
I shoot in a candid, documentary style that’s all about real emotion, natural light, and zero awkward poses. Whether you're a couple ditching tradition, a family in the thick of it, or a brand ready to stand out—I'm here to make sure your photos actually feel like you.
Also, I’m a mum of two, so I know how fast the magic (and mess) of life moves. I’ve got an eye for the in-between moments, the messy hair, soft glances, belly laughs and I work in a way that’s fun, relaxed, and just the right amount of organised chaos.
So if you're after photos that hit you right in the feels and look damn good too, let’s make some magic.

LOVE NOTES...
SALTD Magnesium
“Hayley from Koa Photography was the absolute dream to work with. This was our very first shoot for Saltd. Magnesium, and she brought my vision to life in the most effortless, calm, and beautiful way. She just got it - what the brand is about, the look and feel I was going for, and how to capture that through the lens.
She went above and beyond throughout the whole process and made something that could’ve felt a bit daunting feel so smooth, fun and enjoyable. The final gallery completely blew me away!”
