Rooted in Love. Fueled by Passion. Guided by Legacy.
I’m Haley “Hayy” — the Owner/Founder of Rooted In Poppy Photography.
I’m a Freelance + Portrait (Dogs included🥰) + Candid photographer based in the Frederick, Maryland / DMV area.
This business was born from pain, purpose, and the deepest kind of love.
Dedicated to my late grandfather, George Douglas Cassera, “Poppy.”
I thrive in the chaos, the laughter, the quiet in-between moments — pulling people out of their shells and capturing them as they really are.
My hope is to create a space that feels like sunshine- where you feel seen, heard, celebrated, and free to just be you! If you love spontaneous moments, with lots of humor creating those feel-good belly laughs, and a photographer who will hype you up like you’re the main character (because you are) — I’m your girl!
I look forward to creating with you and bringing your vision to life.
