Welcome


Photography that feels like your memories


The years have a funny way of slipping by. One day your toddler wants to be carried everywhere, and then suddenly they're racing ahead without looking back.

I'm here to preserve this season honestly - not perfectly, just truthfully.

a gentle reminder


You don't have to know how to pose


most of my clients tell me they're awkward in front of the camera. perfect- because I don't expect you to perform.

i'll gently guide you while leaving room for the genuine moments to unfold. your kids can run. your husband doesn't have to fake a smile. you simply show up and love each other.

 

WHAT TO EXPECT

 

THE HEART BEHIND IT ALL

Proof we were here.

Long after tiny shoes are outgrown and little hands stop reaching for yours, these photographs remain. Proof you were here. Proof you loved. Proof this beautiful little life happened.

MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

HI, I'm hali.

I'm married to my college sweetheart, raising three wonderfully wild kids, and firmly believe the ordinary moments are usually the ones worth remembering  most.


I started Ten Seventeen Photography because I wanted to preserve the kind of memories that quietly become priceless  over time. I'd be honored to preserve yours too.
