I’m Claire Hayes
Mountain girl, mum of four, and a photographer for the past 15 years. I followed my love of the mountains to the Sea to Sky corridor and built a photography career shaped by adventure, connection, and a deep appreciation for wild places. I've working as a cat-skiing photographer deep in the alpine; documented weddings, families, branding, and everything in between in all the wild and wonderful places. When I’m not chasing my four young kids down a trail, I’m slowing things down and paying attention — to subtle light, quiet emotion, and the small details that make each moment feel real, lived-in, and worth remembering. I love sharing this incredible part of the world with my clients, helping them experience its beauty and create memories they’ll treasure forever.
