MEET HAILEY

 

PHOTOGRAPHER & VIDEOGRAPHER Based in Jackson, Mississippi

 

Hey there! My name is Hailey Turnage, and I am based in Jackson, Mississippi. I’ve always loved capturing moments, whether that was taking photos of nature or taking pictures for friends. Over time, that grew into both photography and videography. 


- I started out creating and editing videos just for fun, and realized how much I loved making something people could actually feel. At some point, it became more than just something I enjoyed. I started caring about the meaning behind what I create. I don’t just want things to look good. I want them to tell a story, bring awareness, or capture a moment that really matters.


- I’m currently a full-time college student majoring in Communications with a focus in Digital Media Production and a minor in Photography, graduating in May 2027 (whoop whoop!). While I’m part-time in this season, my goal is to grow into photography and videography full-time after graduation.


- My goal is to make you feel comfortable and like yourself in front of the camera, because that’s when everything feels the most real. I truly believe God gave me a creative eye for a reason, and I want to use that to create work that has purpose and makes an impact.


- My photography style is mainly documentary-inspired with true-to-life colors and a soft, airy feel, but it can also become more dramatic and cinematic depending on the client’s vision and the theme of the shoot. I love adapting creatively to each session while still focusing on genuine emotion, storytelling, and capturing real moments naturally. No matter the style, my goal is always to create photos that feel genuine, emotional, and true to each client’s story.

I’m usually spending time with friends and family, hanging out with my boyfriend Cayden, or playing with my dogs. I love to travel, work out at the gym, and try new things and experiences. I’m also a big foodie, even though I am a picky eater, I’m always looking for new places and foods to try.


I’ve always loved anything creative, especially art, painting, photography, and videography. I enjoy telling meaningful stories and capturing real moments through both photo and film.

Fun fact: I used to be a gymnast, and that’s actually where a lot of my love for creativity and visual storytelling began. I used to create videos and edit my gymnastics videos on Instagram.


 Right now, a lot of my time is spent balancing college life, schoolwork, and continuing to grow my photography and videography business.
