Hayleigh Beach is a Photographer based in Melbourne and working across Victoria.

As a multi-disciplined photographer, my current focus is on serving real estate agents throughout the stunning Mornington Peninsula. With an inherent fascination for interiors and architecture, I am privileged to capture the essence of some of Victoria's most exquisite homes.

My photographic journey began in 1986 when my dad placed his old Pentax SLR into my hands. I was merely 8 years old, completely clueless about photography, but there was something magical about that first 'Click'. Winding the film for the next shot became a ritual, and I was enchanted by the satisfaction it brought.

In those days, film photography reigned supreme, and the suspense of waiting until the film was developed added a unique layer of anticipation. The feeling of not knowing whether a shot had turned out well until the film revealed its secrets was both exhilarating and nerve-wracking.

Today, that same excitement and hunger for the perfect shot continue to drive me. The concept of 'perfection' has evolved—it's about capturing the very essence of the moment. It's about encapsulating the emotions, the laughter, the love, and the beauty in whatever form it manifests.

Amidst this photographic journey, my most cherished role is that of a proud mother. I have the privilege of nurturing three incredible children—aged 13, 11, and 5. Each of them is unique, yet we share a profound connection through our creative spirits and a shared love for the great outdoors. And, of course, cuddles hold a special place in our hearts.

Photography has been a constant thread weaving through my life, from the 'Click' of that old Pentax to the present day. It's a testament to my enduring passion for freezing moments in time, ensuring they remain etched in memory and heart.
