So you wanna know a little about the studio? Heck yeah!! 

The current “Studio” consists of one, Hayes Peterson.    

I've always been a visual and creative person. Reading and writing never came easy to me, so I took to the visual side of stories. I always loved drawing, painting and have a love for animation. Skateboarding got me into video while I made short films with my friends, and I never stopped filming from making skate videos. (Fun Fact…I still skate)

It wasn't until 2008 that I got more into photography. Digital + Photoshop = Mind Blown!! From a young age I shot with film, and in 2018 I have worked film back into my process. ( Love it, and it is what I primarily shoot with.) As the primary stay-at-home caregiver to my two kids, I took lots and lots of photos. I soon got really into learning to make my images better and have never stopped. In 2012, once both kids were school-aged, I started “Hayes Peterson Photo” and I love it.

   It wasn't until my Mum got sick, and passed in April 2015 that I really got the "why" for what I do. She left my brothers and I amazing albums of our family through the years. She took video with her 8mm camera and left us a story of who she was, and who we were. 

   I'm so blessed in being able to create for others, providing people with memories in photos, and visual stories. Whether it's your wonderful family, your passion, or your small business, let's tell your story and make some memories.
