I’m Hailey! The eyes, the energy, and the creative tornado behind The Mighty Studio, a portrait space nestled in Toronto where things are always a little messy, deeply human, and beautifully real. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about truth, connection, and the kind of photos that make your heart skip or your eyes sting (in the best way).

The studio was born as both a passion project and a love letter. It carries the spirit of my late mother-in-law, Myra - the original “Mighty My,” whose vanity plate (“MYTMY”) is now part of our story. She believed in me before I believed in myself and nudged me gently, mightily, toward the camera. As it turns out, she was right.

I don’t have a fancy degree in photography, just a lifelong obsession with storytelling, a camera I rarely put down, and a wild devotion to capturing the mighty moments. You know the ones: a hand squeeze, a scrunched-up nose, a laugh that spills over. The magic in the mundane.

These days, I’m a mom to four kids and one very large dog, which means I live in a swirl of noise, love, and sticky fingers. It also means I know how quickly life gallops by. And I know exactly how precious it is to press pause.

So whether I’m chasing toddlers, documenting your brand’s next chapter, or creating a portrait that makes you feel seen, I’m here to tell your story the mighty way. No forced smiles, no stiff poses. Just honest, artful storytelling that looks like you and feels like home.

Let’s make something real together.
