Meet the Photographer

HI! I'M BAILEY

I’m the face behind the lens and the heart behind the chaos — wife, boy mom,  & animal lover.

I fell in love with photography for the same reason I love motherhood — the little moments that make up the big story. The laugh that slips out mid-spin, the wind in your hair, the tiny hand gripping yours. I’m drawn to the real, the imperfect, and the beautifully natural.

I married my high school sweetheart in 2020, and now we’re raising our two sweet boys here in Northern California. We call Sacramento home, but heart will always belong by the ocean — I grew up in San Diego and still feel the most at home with some salt in the air. My family runs off to Dillon Beach as often as possible.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me reading the latest fantasy novel, chasing my toddler around the yard with his brother in my arms, or snuggling up for movie night with my family and our dogs.

My goal with every session is to create images that feel — the kind you’ll look back on and remember exactly how that moment felt. I want your photos to feel like memories, not just moments. My approach is always to follow your needs while still getting the most beautiful images.
