Hayley O'Brien is a professional photographer based in Spotswood, Victoria
Offering a full range of photographic services including portraits, corporate services, engagement sessions, weddings, special events, conferences, real estate, landscape and sports, I am a Melbourne based professional who specialises in capturing classic images with a uniquely personal touch.
Before my previous relocation to Melbourne where I specialised in family portraits, I was the Ministerial Photographer for the Chief Minister in the NT and also University Photographer at Charles Darwin University.
I like to take my time when shooting portraits, especially with children, as it gives people a chance to relax in front of the camera and ensures that images reflect the innate character of each subject. For similar reasons, I prefer to avoid staged studio shoots and instead use the beautiful natural surrounds of the the bay or comfortable home environments as a backdrop for my shoots.
Working in a selection of local and international destinations including Canada, the United States of America, Europe and the beautiful Whitsundays, I have photographed a diverse range of subjects including Oprah, L'Oreal, Tony Abbott and Sir Ian Botham. I have also covered numerous large-scale events including the Audi Hamilton Island Race Week and the Hamilton Cup. I also have over 5 years experience in Real Estate Photography, working with Australia's top Agents from McGrath, Belle, LJ Hooker, Ray White & many more in Sydney.

February 28th, 2014They begged me for copies. Under 6 Souths junior rugby union. Hayley took photos of their last game so that I (coach) could give the players a picture with trophy as a momento. Every parent wanted more photos. They wanted the entire CD. Parents are so proud of their kids and the photos captured such determination, playfulness, and elation. Big win to capture childrens joy, and Hayley does it best.Julie

August 16th, 2013Hayleys portraits of our family are among my favourite photos of us. We had so many shots to choose from and there wasnt a bad one among them. She captured some truly awesome images & was so friendly and professional on the day of the shoot, making us feel relaxed & comfortable. We wouldnt use anyone else. I would recommend Hayley to anyone. (Sydney)Dominic Meler
