Finding Beauty in the Simple Compositions of Nature

Thank you for visiting our website.

Hadley Images was born out of our love for nature and still photography. Our work includes many images from the Rocky Mountains, as well as the beautiful scenes from the heartland of America.

Chris and I first met in 1988 while we were both working in the film production industry. I had just opened a small business in Kansas City, Missouri named Third Eye Productions. I worked as a Director and a Director of Photography. Chris was a freelance producer. We eventually teamed up in business and in life.

After a 30 year career shooting hundreds of TV commercials all over the United States, we made the decision to transition back to our roots and our love of still photography. Although we currently live in Spring Hill, Kansas, it is our goal to locate somewhere in the mountains when it becomes possible.

The Hadley love for film and photography now extends to our three children. Our oldest daughter Ali is an award winning wedding videographer, and her company, Her Third Eye Productions, is an ode to our old company name. Our daughter Megan, who established Her Third Eye with Ali, has now made the move to the Denver area, and has started her own photography based company, Megan Hadley Photo. Our son, Jackson, who recently graduated from The University of Kansas with a degree in film, now works for the Kansas City Royals as a video content trainee. Apple…. Tree.

While I truly love shooting landscapes, I’m always on the lookout for the smaller graphic compositions that nature provides. It seems like my style of landscape and nature photography is still evolving, and probably always will.

We truly hope you enjoy our site, our photography, and our love of nature. We’ll see you on the trails.
