Thanks for stopping by! I’m Hayley Johnson—owner of Hayley Jo Photo. I realized my love for photography in 2010 on a trip to Zambia. I knew it was going to be the trip of a lifetime so I broke down and bought a nice camera.

I took a ridiculous number of photos on that trip and fell in love with the art of photography. In 2013, after continuing to take classes and offering photo sessions to anyone willing to give me a chance, Hayley Jo Photo became a reality.

Today, I'm honored to have worked with hundreds of Atlanta-area families. My style aims to document client's personalities in naturally lit photos that are clean, classic, and fun. To me, the beauty is in variety, client individuality, and capturing candid emotion.

As a mother myself, I understand working with infants and children requires patience, so I will never rush your session and will always try to keep things lighthearted and relaxed.

I'd like to thank my family for enduring multiple photo shoots as I learn new tricks, my husband for for encouraging me to pursue my dream, and my God for empowering me to capture the beautiful things in life through photography.

One of my great joys as a business owner is the chance to give back to others and pursue projects that are inspiring to me personally. One expression of that is gifting lifestyle photography to adoptive families and sharing their amazing stories on the blog. Check it out and be inspired.
