I have had several sessions at @bradfordhouseokc lately and I am just fine with that 😍 a boudoir session in one of the king suites, and an engagement session in the pink and teal rooms downstairs. This was taken in one of the suites last year for a wedding editorial before they opened. I may be a girl who loves neutrals, but it’s really fun to shoot at the Bradford 🖤 photography: @hayleywaldophoto venue: @bradfordhouseokc planning: @feteokc florals: @xohaleighkenney makeup: @chelseyannartistry hair: @brushedokc rentals: @mariannesrentals dress: @jjkellybridal @moniquelhuillier @moniquelhuillierbride rings: @bcclarkjewelers jewelry: @lorenhope baked goods: @quincybakeshop 
A year ago last week I took these photo in San Diego. Little did I know, it would be my last big trip for a year. I absolutely loved this trip. I saw my brother, I made some new friends, I photographed couples barefoot on the beach, some of my favorite photos came out of this trip. I miss that feeling. I’m itching to photograph more and more. I have some shoots in the planning stages and I’m so excited to see what’s in store. Where were you a year ago?

It’s International Women’s Day and I’m celebrating by taking a look at some of my all time favorite photographs I’ve taken of women. (See my stories!) This one being right up there. It’s a vulnerable thing, having your photo taken, especially this way. It’s like the camera can see into your soul and capture your true self. And that’s what I love about it so much. But it also takes a lot of bravery to be seen that way, which is just one of the many things I admire about the women I photograph. Happy Women’s Day 🖤 
🎶 Vienna, my city of dreams 🎶 I haven’t shared much from this shoot in Vienna from 2 years ago but I can’t hold it back any longer! This is a city that holds a big place in my heart and it was a dream come true to photograph this shoot there. I wanted to really incorporate some authentic Viennese elements in this shoot, including this incredible grooms suit! It rained half the time, the grooms pants were literally unzipped the whole time because they were too small, and we weren’t able to get all the elements together because it rained 😂 but I’m proud of the work that came out of this. I hope it inspires couples to incorporate a mix of traditional elements in their wedding and possibly some European architecture - even if it’s stateside! 🖤 photography : @hayleywaldophoto styling & florals : @event.austria hair/makeup : @chrissiakbaba_mua jewelry : @rosamarlenewien stationary : @ohhoneypaperco dress : @jennyyoonyc videography : @michael_sozonov models : @bibibaltovic @janpalko film lab: @thefindlab 
One of the most common questions I get as a portrait photographer: what do I wear?? Fashion is obviously a very important element to any session. Expressing yourselves with an exquisite and coordinated wardrobe brings an editorial look to your photos 👀 I help clients choose a location first, and then we talk about how they might want their photos to feel. ✨ From there, I create a mood board that embodies the location, wardrobe and styling, and overall look and feel of the shoot. I will even give some links to options I think might work well.🖤 Some of my favorite looks: refined casual, classic chic, metropolitan dressy, timeless formal.

A couple years ago, I went to Paris by myself. It wasn’t my first time to Paris, not even my second time. But it was the first time I had seen Paris this way. It was the first time I saw the magic of Paris. I went for a photography workshop and had an amazing time. And when the workshop was over, I went to the Rodin museum because I had never been before and had always wanted to. It was unlike any museum I had been to before, it was incredible. I became envious of the art students that I saw there, sitting and quickly sketching all the statues. I was mesmerized by the soft lines and twists of the figures. I walked the halls just in awe. I could have stayed there all day. Many of Rodin’s statues are on the grounds of the museum, in the gardens. As I was wandering, I came to the back of the museum and took this photo on my film camera. It’s on of my absolute favorite photos I have ever taken. Not just because of the symmetry and the fact that it’s just so European and picturesque...but what it represents. The memories of going there. Being independent, enjoying works of art in a city I had a newfound love for. It’s a moment I will never forget. I want to have this photo framed in my house - I think it’s important to surround yourself with things that make you feel something. So you don’t get lost in the every day. 🖤
