Happy Everlie After

I’m Hayley, the face behind Happy Everlie After, based in Keighley. Family photography is at the heart of what I do — I specialise in creating relaxed, natural portraits that feel like you, not like a posed photoshoot. As a mum of four, I know how quickly little moments slip by, and my aim is to capture the laughs, the tiny expressions and the honest connections you’ll want to remember forever. My approach is friendly, patient and tailored to your family. Whether we meet at my studio or I come to your home, I prioritise comfort and ease: plenty of time for feeds, rest breaks or time-outs, and a calm atmosphere so children (and pets) can be themselves. I love catching those unguarded smirks and the small, imperfect moments that become your favourite images. I work with natural light whenever possible and favour a gentle, authentic style that looks beautiful on the wall and feels true to your family. Newborn and baby sessions are a big part of my family work — I recommend photographing newborns in the very early weeks when they’re sleepy and curled up, but I’m happy to capture babies at any age. I bring a collection of backdrops, props and outfits to the studio and can adapt setups for relaxed family images with siblings and grandparents included. All sessions are delivered via a secure online gallery so you can view and share your memories with loved ones. Choosing me means choosing someone who listens. I’ll take time to understand what matters to you, answer questions and make sure everyone feels comfortable before the camera comes out. Many clients tell me they chose me for my relaxed manner and ability to make families feel at ease — that trust is what allows real moments to shine. I’m based in Keighley but can travel across the UK for sessions. If you’d like a friendly, experienced photographer who specialises in family and newborn photography and treats every shoot with care and creativity, get in touch — I’d love to hear about your family and capture the story you want to remember.
