We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Haley Farmer. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Haley below.
Alright, Haley thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Let’s jump to the end – what do you want to be remembered for?
I hope my legacy as a photographer is going 10 extra miles. I want to be known as the photographer who is there to help you navigate the happiest (and most emotional) time in your life. Photography is all about milestones. Weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, new family members, etc and it can be SO hard to make such intense moments fun and worry free. My goal is to be the person to make it a genuine, fun and easy experience.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I am a true color photographer who specializes in weddings, branding and family portraits. I shoot and edit in a timeless fashion which will hold through the test of time and trends. I love genuine expressions of love and happiness and help you navigate these moments through a series of prompts and poses.
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
Starting as a fine art photographer who focused on the conceptual background of photos rather than the people in them, I had to start fresh when I moved into wedding photography. Concept doesn’t matter in this world- it’s about the feelings and the emotions of the day.
Is there something you think non-creatives will struggle to understand about your journey as a creative?
I think a lot of people believe that this is easy and anyone can do it. To a degree, that’s true! If you put forth the time and effort to learn and refine your skills you can. But that’s only half the battle. 99% of any job is knowing the right people. Spending time meeting your peers and getting your foot in the door is honestly the part that will get you places. It’s not all social media, though that is an important part of the puzzle.
