Hi, I’m Hailey Lawson - I am a 28 year old photographer, videographer, and media manager based in Texas. I'm passionate about storytelling through imagery and helping brands bring their visions to life through digital media and strategic content.
I grew up on a farm in East Texas and graduated from Rains High School in 2015, where I was actively involved in Varsity Volleyball, Varsity Basketball, National Honor Society, Math & Science Club, Spanish Club, and 4-H. My love for photography started early, shaped by countless days spent outdoors photographing wildlife around our family farm.
In 2019, I earned my bachelor's degree from Centenary College of Louisiana with dual majors in Studio Art and Biology. During college, I balanced NCAA Volleyball, academics, and a student work-study program while also participating in several independent research projects that enhanced my skills in documentation, visual storytelling, and organization.
After graduation, I joined SB Magazine in Shreveport, Louisiana as a Photographer and Assistant Editor. I was promoted to Digital Director in 2023. Over five years, I led visual and editorial projects across print, web, and social media - capturing and editing high-quality images, and working closely with clients and sales teams to produce impactful editorial and advertorial content for each issue.
Since 2022, I’ve also worked as a Social Media Specialist for May Marketing Group, where I create custom graphics and write engaging content for various businesses to grow their online presence.
In May 2024, I returned to Texas and became the Media Manager for Premier Pools & Spas across the Houston Northwest, Heart of Texas, and Corpus Christi locations. In this role, I manage photography during construction and after pool completion, oversee all social media accounts, and coordinate marketing efforts with agencies and partners to grow brand visibility.
Outside of my other work, I run my own photography and videography business, specializing in lifestyle and commercial shoots. I am also FAA Part 107 Drone Certified. Whenever I have free time, I enjoy spending time with family, going to new parks with my two dogs, traveling, and taking photos of all things nature. Whether I’m behind the camera for a creative shoot or capturing the progress of a pool build, my goal is always to tell meaningful stories through thoughtful visuals.
