Ask my friends and they will tell you how annoying I am with my camera :) I love how a camera can capture moments that become memories and can essentially freeze them in time. I believe that there is a huge different between taking pictures and creating art. My photography is a little quirky and colorful but ultimately captures the subjects personality entirely.

This is your sign to take photos with your boyfriend or girlfriend. You deserve to have great pictures during the dating phase! You don’t have to wait for milestones like engagements or weddings or babies to take photos.

Jake and I have known each other a LONG time. I have taken several family photos of him and his siblings over the years (and I’m old friends with a couple of his older siblings)! In fact, Jake’s nephew James was my first ever paid client. I took his first birthday photos 14 years ago!!

To say I was so proud when Jake reached out to schedule some fun photos with his gorgeous girlfriend is an understatement.

We pranced around the fields, laugh at my dumb jokes, and they endured my borderline inappropriate comments. A great time was had by all 😆

So do the shoot. Have the fun. Capture the memories and enjoy each other because selfies are cool but pro photos are better 🫶🏼

And thank you for not only taking the initiative to book the session, but also for leaving the wonderful Google review 🤍

I’m on a mission to make family photos fun. To break the mold. To step out of the box and make them relaxed, easy going, meaningful, and authentic. Something that brings you back to the moment and truly allows you to love it. To be like “that was a really freakin fun day” instead of “I was so pi**ed he wouldn’t wear the brown shoes with the brown belt and I hated my hair and the kids and I all cried because we were late to the shoot and my spouse and I fought as we buckled everyone up BUT WE HAVE REALLY PRETTY PHOTOS”

I’ve fallen into a trap of doing photos the way everyone else does them because it was safe. To be consistent as I can be for my clients so they know what to expect. To take the “safe” photos and edit consistently.

But I didn’t realize how much that would affect ME.

As an artist, as a creative, my passion is to create meaningful images that make you FEEL. People will book me and say they just want “one good picture” and it makes me feel like they don’t know that I’m going to give them 200 GREAT pictures they didn’t even expect. Like give me some credit, I’m really freakin good at this 😆

I’ve been making myself small to fit into what I believe others expect of me instead of pursuing the creative feelings in my heart. I’m the type of person who doesn’t enjoy small talk but instead wants to have the deep heart to heart. Surface level relationships are not my jam and they shouldn’t be yours either. This applies to photos as well.

This isn’t to say I won’t take “normal traditional photos”, it’s just to say I am going to be making some changes to my family photography business now to set myself up for 2026 and beyond.

Expect to see less mini sessions (they won’t totally go away, but there will be less) and more intentional sessions that are fun for everyone. I think it’ll heal something in your heart as well.

No buying $300+ in new outfits (spend that on your photos instead)
No fighting in the car because I’m coming to your favorite place
No stressing if you’ll make your mini session timeslot on time
No more “if you don’t smile you’ll lose your iPad”

Let’s make magic for your family.

Swipe through to see some of the most stunning first birthday photos you could ask for 😍 the coolest part? We did her photos on her ACTUAL birthday!

Taking photos of this family was easy. Like are you kidding me? We took these photos on a Thursday, they were my 1st of 3 sessions that night, and I was able to finish their whole gallery that night so they could order prints on Friday for her first birthday over the weekend! I’ll always do whatever I can to accommodate those kinds of requests when I can 🫶🏼

The lupines are too fun, do you need photos here too? We might want to get something on the books in the next week, mayyyybe 2, before they go away!

PS if you saw cake in the lupine fields in the middle of May…no you didn’t.

PPS if you need a photobooth for an event, is a MUST. When I say they go above and beyond, they really do, so make sure to give them a follow 📸

A couple of weeks ago .gibson_ contacted me on Instagram saying she randomly stumbled upon my page saying her and her husband (a real estate team) were listing a gorgeous home in University Place and they were hoping to get some headshots done together and solo in this beautiful space. I sent her my packages and some examples and recommended a couple packages I felt would fit their needs best.

I gave her my immediate availability and my calendar for a Connection Call where we confirmed the package was what they needed, discussed the vibe of the session, outfit and prop recommendations, etc. She sent me the outfit options she already had in her closet via mirror selfie saying “I can’t believe I’m sending mirror outfit selfies to a stranger” lol and I helped her narrow it down to our 2 favorites with a 3rd easy one.

We didn’t have a ton of lead up time so basically 48 hours later we were in the beautiful home (with permission) getting them updated headshots for website, social media content, marketing materials and more!

I was so honored to capture their photos and I am excited to work with more clients looking to improve their brand presence with gorgeous images!

Thank you Megan and Curtis for trusting the process even in a short amount of time!

I say this in my client guides but I saw another photographer share to her IG and I had to share this too.

[Motherhood has made me a better photographer]

I see things differently. I show up for my clients differently. I crave slower more intentional sessions. I want to preserve people’s memories and bring them back to the feelings they felt at that time. It applies to all session types too, not just family photos.

For brides and grooms, my life experiences have me watching for your interaction with your grandparents on your wedding day, or the way your parents look at you in your wedding dress, or the way the kids take over on the dance floor. Because it’s important to me.

For business owners, I see your brand as your other baby. A passion project turned into income earner. A way that you put your mark on the world and make it a better place. The care for your clients, the care for yourself, the excitement you have about your work. Because I am the same.

And of course, for families. Family photos have always meant a lot to me, but being a mom has affected my entire being. I cherish YOUR photos just as much (maybe even more) than you will 🥹 they’re THAT important to me.

This year I am feeling called to shift my focus to different session types. I love mini sessions and I think they have a time and place, but I’ll be offering less of them. I’m craving photoshoots that aren’t rushed or chaotic. I want sessions that are interactive. That are YOU. That you don’t have to buy a new wardrobe for. That you don’t have to put too much thought into (or maybe you do, because you want it to be about what you LOVE doing together. That you leave saying “I can’t wait for our next session” because even your spouse and kids had fun. I want sessions that are playful and creative and full of people who want to be there. My soul needs it.

And I’m guessing you probably need it too.

Connect with me to have a more creative, fun, soul-filling session. My inquiry link is in my bio 🤍

I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to spoil the Mom Bosses of the community. The ones who find a way to do their most meaningful work at home AND provide for their family in a way that works best for them. Getting really scrappy at times, feeling allllll the FEELS, questioning if they’re cut out for any of it, only to take a step back to realize “holy shiitake mushrooms I AM DOING IT”.

Building a brand while raising babies (even if they’re no longer babies) is not for the weak. No matter how old your kids are, you’re a mom boss. You might be in the thick of it or you might be an empty-nester, either way, you’re building something out of virtually nothing and that’s MAGICAL. And deserves to be celebrated fully.

I wanted to do a special giveaway to a Mom-Owned business for an All-Inclusive Branding session, which includes hair and makeup, 2+ hours of session time, a Connection Call, styling & prop assistance, and more! This package is valued at almost $2,000!

The last photo is honestly just perfection 🥹

Bailey (cool name right?) is ALSO a photographer and she asked me if I had any availability on my calendar to capture this fun age of her little guy and of course I made it happen! Taking photos of other photographers and their families will always be an honor and I’m thrilled to be trusted to capture their milestones 🫶🏼

Studio sessions are some of my favorites for many reasons, but reason number one is that I love the simplicity of a paper backdrop. It keeps the focus on what’s most important. I also love the mostly consistent light because it also makes editing way more enjoyable lol. OH and obviously can’t forget that the PNW is notorious for its drizzle (why do you think it’s so beautiful and green out here??) but studios provide the perfect space rain or shine. So thank you .studio.on.cole.street for providing such a beautiful space for photos 😍🙌🏼

‼️STOP THE SCROLL‼️HOW HAVE I FAILED TO SHARE THESE?!?!? Sometimes I just want to fire my social media manager but unfortunately she wears many hats at the Photos by Bailey office 🙃

These two had the most beautiful and intimate ceremony in Seattle last August! They originally didn’t want photos but Danyelle’s brother in law called me and asked if I would be interested in capturing a couple hours of their special day, lemme think…

A gorgeous couple, a building full of beautiful plants followed by renting out a portion of a cap hill restaurant surrounded by friends and family? OBVIOUSLY that’s a hell yes.

I have SO many more to share from this day but I’m going to have to make that a blog post. I’m still so ashamed of myse—I mean—my social media manager.

Happy to those who celebrate 🏀

Had to throw it back with some photos from ’s epic 35 min branding photoshoot where we crushed outfit change after outfit change, props, and a PLETHORA of good photos she can use for content on 🙌🏼😍

These needed a permanent spot on the feed 🖤🤍

There is just something about tiny baby features in black and white that just make my heart grow three sizes. Since my pregnancies were both unusual, I never got these tiny baby photos taken with my kids and I treasure getting to take them for everyone else 🫶🏼

In-home sessions are one of my favorite ways to challenge my creative brain, and in-home newborn sessions are so wonderful and slow and relaxed, thank you for trusting me to capture these moments for you all 😍🤍🙌🏼

Last month I had the honor of capturing family + newborn photos for a special family who have been through the wringer the past couple of years. Their oldest daughter Grace gas been told she has no evidence of disease after battling the same type of cancer my niece Charlie endured, which is so rare that when you find other families going through the same thing you make sure to connect, especially in your area.

Grace is doing well and is thriving in her role as big sister 😍🥹 it’s so special to get to be the one to capture these milestones, but as a childhood cancer survivor myself, these sessions are extra special 🫶🏼

Thank you Hannah and TJ for braving the cold and snow for these beautiful photos, and for the beautiful space to escape the snow 🤍
