Hallie Jade Pictures

In Their Own Words:

Hi! I’m Hallie (pronounced like Halle Berry) and I am obsessed with taking pictures of people.  

As a professional photographer, I have been called such things as the “therapist wedding photographer” because of my gentle and calming nature and also “ninja girl” by a little boy who watched me roll around in the sand and hurdle driftwood in order to capture a moment at a beach wedding. I am beyond flattered by both of these compliments, and feel that they truly capture how I do my job – genuinely and with flexible agility. I take a “fly-on-the-wall” stance and fill in any awkward moments with easy guidance and direction.  

My style is filled with movement, rawness, and authenticity. I consider it a “great photo” when I can feel your personality through the still frame. Here are some real life examples:

– your wedding dress is completely soaked from rain, and you decided to have your ceremony outside anyway

– you find the shot of your toddler having a complete meltdown in an otherwise perfect family photo to be frame-worthy

– your dad’s bright blue eyes are welled up with tears as he watches you marry the love of your life

THOSE are the moments I want to capture and the clients with whom I want to work. Needless to say, if you want staged perfection, I am not your girl.    

Overall, I prefer to work with couples and families who share a progressive awareness, and who have nothing but complete respect and admiration for one another.  

I have been hired all over the greater Northeast and am willing to travel anywhere.

Favorite Moment During a Wedding: I honestly love ceremonies (especially ceremonies with tears). I always cry and the immense expression of love fills me up for hours after. 

Favorite Vermont Activity: Kayaking on Lake Willoughby really knocked my socks off.
