Storyteller of wild hearts and big dreamers. 💫 There are only a few people on this great earth that just can’t wait to get themselves into a photo shoot. Cheers!

There are only a few wives that just can’t wait to have the family photo shoot conversation with their husbands and even fewer that can’t wait to spend hours getting the whole family ‘picture perfect’ just to have their toddler refuse to get out the car when you finally get there. The truth is . . . . Nothing beats the feeling of seeing those precious photos the first time and few things beat the

feeling of seeing them the second time. And it doesn’t really matter if these photos are taken by the best photographer in the area, by the neighbor or in my case, by my 5 year old son who can run the timer on my camera better than any pro. Here is the most important part about family photos:

THEY EXIST. I repeat . . . THE MOST IMPORTANT PART ABOUT FAMILY PHOTOS IN THAT THEY EXIST. You are responsible to be your own historian. To protect the memories of your family and your family yet to come. No one has ever looked back on photos of their great grandmother and said “She really could have lost 10 lbs.”

In fact, if you are waiting to lose a few pounds to take photos, well, shame on you. Get in the photos! Make crazy faces with your kids, your grand kids, your husband. Let them know that you were there, you loved them, and they were special to you. Protect your history. Professional photos can be a fun way to capture your family. If you have an out-of-the-studio kinda style, there are a lot more “lifestyle” photographers than there used to be. Check them out and find someone that fits your family’s character and heck, maybe that’s even me. Here are a few tips for the big day:

1. Dress in a casual, fun way that represents who your family is. A toddler in a suit and tie, will cry. Promise.

2. The little ones are always right. Well, for this particular hour he/she is. A happy kid, takes happy pictures.

3. Be flexible. Lighting is very important. It rains, it pours, it hails golf balls.

4. Background. It’s cool, but not the most important thing. You are. So make it easy, close and comfortable. It’s not the landscape we are trying to capture, it’s your beautiful faces.

5. AND LAST BUT MOST IMPORTANT, if it feels weird, awkward and like a total mess . . . it was probably beautiful. Strange, but true fact. This mountain of unprofessional advice is brought to you by me, Shana Bailey. Professional Ranch Wife, Super Hero Momma of two hooligans, and Photographer of this Crazy Wonderful Life.

* Please make special note of the order of my priorities. To do the best I can for my clients, I only book a few shoots a month. Who wants to wait FOR-EV-ER to get your photos in your hand? Not me and I’m guessing not you either. Now, let’s all find our super-hero capes. tip one back and ENJOY THE RIDE!

Imagine the shift when a young woman realizes she can be queen. And that groundbreaking moment when she discovers she can be president. Now, envision the impact of the moment when she grasps that she can be both. That moment is now and the course of the future is changing. 💫

Create from Within the Arena 🌟 Photography and Creative Business | May 2nd, 2024, 9 -5pm | Pendleton Cattle Barons Weekend | https://www.cattlebarons.net/classes

It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong stumble or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the one who is actually in the arena. Whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly: who comes short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcomings. Who at best knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if she fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that her place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. | Roosevelt | 💫

Pendleton Cattle Barons Weekend | May 2nd, 2024 ✨

I don't know about you, but I suffered through so many years thinking I couldn't possibly walk into the next the way I left the last. I was fortunate to find inspiration, direction, and strength through learning, exploring, and sharing, but the journey was painful and slow. Somewhere along the way, I knew the greatest gift I could give to other creatives ~ was everything I knew.

I would love to have you join us (and bring a friend) on May 4th, 2024, in Pendleton, Oregon, for a day to dive deep into every corner of the creative mind, business, and strategy. I might not have all the answers, but I'll help you find them.

This course is for anyone self-employed in a creative business, specifically for photographers and creatives who rely heavily on photography marketing.

You do not need to be a professional photographer or own professional equipment.

You do need to like peanut M&Ms. 🤍

In a few weeks, Arizona will be in our rearview mirror. But, my heart will stay awhile longer ~ it seems to have found home among the beauty of the desert and warmth of the sunshine. ☀️🌵

Ace of Spades. ♠️

Of course, you could plan this photo, but could you recognize and guide the moment with no intention? Just the organic unfolding of events, the grace of perfect lighting, and the selection of any spade bit you could dream up.

If you ever ask me about my favorite groomsmen photo, it will always be this one.

I cried before every single wedding, with no exception. Very few people knew that. The tears weren't from dread or sadness. They were from the sheer gut-wrenching worry that I might let you down. I might not create or catch that one magic moment. But, looking back now . . . it was me who needed that magical moment to remind myself of who I am. And when it came, time would freeze briefly, and I could live there. ✨

What you've accomplished is a reminder of the possibilities that exist when hard work, determination, passion, sacrifice, and relentless commitment never waver. Thank you for sharing your dreams with me. ✨Thank you for letting me breathe life into them and witness them come true. Enjoy the sunshine, a little football, and the greatest cowhorses in the world. You've earned it. Happy Birthday, JB! ❤️

Blurry, out of focus, grainy, misuse of flash, total photography trash.

We're often told that our wedding day or the birth of our children are the greatest, most powerful moments of our lives ~ but, no one will prepare you for watching your daughter in a pair of cutoff jeans, ba****ck, barefoot, & bridleless lope past you laughing in the summer sunshine. That is the greatest joy of my life. ✨

We are so grateful for this sweet little Lizard. It's only fitting that we enjoy you this holiday season! 🎄

12/01/2023

There's no magic in merely changing the calendar number, yet I firmly believe in the power of looking back and celebrating the journey ~ how many steps you took forward, how much you endured. It's about honoring the thousands of hours of silent, unseen work, trusting the unknown, and acknowledging that even in moments of deafening loneliness, you were perfectly cared for every step along the way. ✨

In the remaining days of 2023, I'll be sharing photos that hold special meaning for me. For over 12 years, I've shared images for clients and followers to enjoy. However, this is a personal celebration of the path I've walked ~ a journey to amazing places, filled with wild stories, and beautiful humans who have shown me {and Jordan} incredible kindness. 🤍

11/25/2023

Their wedding vows were slipped into the fleeting moments between the magnificent Nevada summer showers; it's only fitting that we celebrate their next adventure in the mountain rains of Eastern Oregon . . . . . after all, some things can withstand any storm. 💕

Of all the magical moments I've captured in Victor & Staheli's love story, this is by far my favorite. ✨ I am honored to be the storyteller for their most precious memories. I cannot wait to meet your darling little one. 🤍

11/19/2023

It's impossible to describe what it's like to see so many of my children's friends grow into high school seniors and begin their journeys into the next chapter. Broc will always have a special place in my heart, from the Little League field to the golf course greens. It's been a pleasure! ✨

11/03/2023

I want to celebrate this incredible human being who, for years, has selflessly navigated through the lands, late nights, long days, and everything in between with me. Your kindness, smile, and beautiful light are truly remarkable, and I'm grateful to have you as a friend. May this year bring you happiness, success, and unforgettable memories. ✨

Jordan, you deserve all the love and joy in the world. Cheers to another year of wonderful memories and adventures. Happy Birthday! 🤍

11/03/2023

What a privilege it was getting to know this remarkable senior. This is a true gentleman, and his unwavering love for the Western way of life is matched only by his dedication and strong work ethic. Brody, I wish you the best as you walk through this journey and those years beyond. ✨

10/21/2023

My hope for you is to one day look back on your life and find that it was full of amazing adventures, incredible discoveries, and an abundance of happiness. I am incredibly proud of the remarkable person you are becoming, and I'm thankful to have shared in a small part of your journey.

Finding someone with an inner beauty that matches their outer appearance is a powerful reminder that true beauty comes from the heart. These extraordinary humans are rare and forever inspiring. This is the exact moment I found it in Drew. ✨🤍

10/19/2023

Drew just might be of my all-time favorite humans. ✨ I'm so grateful to him and his family for their kind and caring hearts. And I'll always appreciate the opportunity to listen to him play the guitar, whether he believes it or not. Congratulations on your senior year!

We love my gelding enough to have bought his full brothers over the years. There is nothing harder in the horse business than selling the ones you love.

Earlier in the evening, we took photos in an abandoned shopping cart with only three wheels. Then, he agreed to some of the ideas I had in mind for his session. It's balance.
