Hailey was a dream to work with and a lifesaver! She became not only our photographer but our wedding coach in a place we had never been and without much idea as to how the day would flow. She captured us exactly how I wanted, she made the most of our time without making us feel rushed, she captured the enormity of our venue but somehow kept us as the focal point and she was FUN!!! We laughed and we were comfortable. She has an incredible eye and captured us and our surroundings beautifully. She was the best choice we made in our wedding planning and our time with her was spectacular.

Hailey was our wedding photographer and also did our engagement photos. I couldn’t be more happy with our decision. Not only was she able to capture our day perfectly, but she was so much fun to work with! It was obvious that she had a ton of experience by directing us on poses without them not looking natural. She made our wedding day go that much more smooth with helping out on little details and taking charge to get through family photos. It’s so special to have all these pictures we get to cherish forever. We are obsessed with them and can’t wait to hang them in our house! Highly, highly recommend her. It definitely won’t be the last time we’ll be reaching out to her for a shoot!

We at Two Perfect Events had an amazing experience working with Archer Inspired. They are professional, friendly, and incredibly easy to work with, making the entire collaboration feel effortless. Their photography is absolutely beautiful—thoughtful, artistic, and full of genuine moments. One of the coolest touches was the instant Instax film sneak peeks they provided for the client, which added such a fun, personal, and memorable element to the experience. Archer Inspired brings creativity, professionalism, and heart to every event, and we highly recommend them.

Hailey is an absolute magician with her camera and such a wonderful person. We booked a last minute extended family mini session and the photos turned out spectacular. Don't even know how she captured such stunning photos of the entire family! We have 3 young children and my middle son has Autism. Hailey was so kind, patient and understanding when he basically refused to take photos (shes SO good she even captured the best photos of him!!!) My son felt completely comfortable and safe with her. As a parent it was such a relief to know our kids could be completely themselves. She makes the process fun for the whole family. 10/10 experience!!!

One of my favorite things about Hailey Williams aka Archer Inspired Photography, besides her mad photography skills, is that she will give directions like ‘tuck that boob behind’ so it doesn’t take center stage. That’s the kind of photographer I need!
But seriously, Hailey can capture my family better than anyone else has. I treasure the photos we do each year with her. You’re missing out if you don’t go with her.

If you aren’t using Hailey as your family photographer, then you’re doing something wrong in your life. She is a true professional through and through. Somehow, she gets my kids, and even my husband (IYKYK), relaxed, laughing, and actually having fun during photos. And every single time, she delivers a huge selection of gorgeous shots with an impressively quick turnaround.
We’ve been working with her for years, and she has never once disappointed us. I’m always anxiously refreshing my inbox waiting for our gallery, and without fail, I end up crying ugly, happy tears as I scroll through the photos for hours. The worst part of the whole experience is trying to choose just one for our holiday card!
Our walls are absolutely covered in Archer Inspired Photography, and they will continue to be for years to come. Hailey is truly the best of the best.

10/10, no notes, absolute perfection from start to finish. Do not sleep on booking Hailey for your photos! My toddler has never smiled for a photographer the way she smiled for Hailey. The photo shoot itself was SO fun, my husband and I actually enjoyed taking the photos, the kids loved it too and it shows in every picture! We got our pictures back in a record time (like what?? so fast!). We will be using Hailey again and again, that's for sure!

We did a family photo mini-session with Hailey last month. It was the first time that we had taken professional photos with our 8 month old, and we were anxious about what would happen if our baby had a fit or was uncooperative for the limited time we had. Hailey patiently walked us through how to plan for the shoot and best practices to ensure a calm baby but also reassured us that she would have plenty of tricks up her sleeve if we did have a fussy baby.
Fortunately, our child was well behaved the morning of and through the shoot. Hailey was also fantastic, keeping our baby cheerful with heart-warming interactions while also providing my wife and I with great prompts to capture our family love and energy. The photos that Hailey ended up delivering were amazing--so vibrant, crisp, and well composed. But most importantly, they captured the heart and glee of our family.
We'll be using a few of these for our Christmas cards and can't wait for our family and friends to see these amazing photos; we just have to figure out which ones to choose. They're all so good!!
