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. Email me ([email protected]

The last photo is honestly just perfection šŸ„¹

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 Iā€™m thrilled to be trusted to capture their milestones šŸ«¶šŸ¼

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 whatā€™s most important. I also love the mostly consistent light because it also makes editing way more enjoyable lol. OH and obviously canā€™t forget that the PNW is notorious for its drizzle (why do you think itā€™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 šŸ˜šŸ™ŒšŸ¼

ā€¼ļøSTOP THE SCROLLā€¼ļø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 šŸ™ƒ

These two had the most beautiful and intimate ceremony in Seattle last August! They originally didnā€™t want photos but Danyelleā€™s brother in law called me and asked if I would be interested in capturing a couple hours of their special day, lemme thinkā€¦

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 thatā€™s a hell yes.

I have SO many more to share from this day but Iā€™m going to have to make that a blog post. Iā€™m still so ashamed of myseā€”I meanā€”my social media manager.

Happy to those who celebrate šŸ€

Had to throw it back with some photos from ā€™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 šŸ™ŒšŸ¼šŸ˜

Pretty proud of this one!

These needed a permanent spot on the feed šŸ–¤šŸ¤

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 šŸ«¶šŸ¼

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 šŸ˜šŸ¤šŸ™ŒšŸ¼

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 šŸ˜šŸ„¹ itā€™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 šŸ«¶šŸ¼

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

Just casually the most adorable father + daughters photo in the world. And the little heart his hands are making šŸ«¶šŸ¼ we love this for them šŸ˜

Loves this studio family session from right before Christmas! This family was so fun to take photos of and it was an honor to capture these memories for them!!

Iā€™m headed to Mollyā€™s baby shower today and it only felt right to share a few from their holiday maternity session from last month! I love that we got some simple, minimalistic images on the paper backdrop .studio.on.cole.street šŸ¤© canā€™t wait to welcome another sweet baby boy into the family!

February 2024 was a busy one so letā€™s get right to recapping!

āš”ļøI started the month out with a GORGEOUS winter wedding for and . It was an honor to witness the love their family has for them and each other. Can we talk about the father of the bride getting a tissue hand-off from the father of the groom at the end of the aisle?
āš”ļøOne of my really good friends had me do some beautiful, quick in-home headshots for her! She is hilarious, strong AF, and knowledgeable. Give her a follow if you are doing , are , or youā€™re a mom looking for a refreshing follow.
āš”ļøValentines micro sessions were super cute for the one family who signed up lol, but I want to try to make them happen again this year!
āš”ļøFirst birthday sessions are some of my favorites, and this session of Brady (such a cute name for a girl) was sooo cute. She didnā€™t want to let go of mom but I was still able to capture her in her element anyway!
āš”ļøI had another first birthday sessionā€”in my dining room lol. The Lacey family has been in front of my camera for over a decade and itā€™s been fun watching their love unfold over the *many* years! Collins (another cute girl name) wasnā€™t a huge fan of the cake but you see she gave us some cute looks anyway!
āš”ļøKassidy & Evan did a reveal with their parents and I am obsessed with the grandmothersā€™ reactions šŸ©·
āš”ļøThe gorgeous session with the Mylers (who are basically my extended family) will always be one of my faves. The colors, the effortless smiles, the playfulness, the tones, all of it, perfection.
āš”ļøMy niece Charlie had a photoshoot with her sister to celebrate having clear, cancer free scans. Unfortunately, her cancer returned later in 2024 and they did more chemo, but she is cancer free again and starting her healing journey in 2025.
āš”ļøFebruary ended with a branding session for my friend with and was one of many sessions we did in 2024!

If you made it this far, youā€™re the real MVP! Please feel free to leave some love for my February sessions and be on the lookout for March sessions soon! šŸ«¶šŸ¼

Iā€™m going to ATTEMPT to recap all 12 months of 2024 so you can see at least a LITTLE of the fun I get to capture for clients.

January through June typically are slower months for me because I have been coaching high school softball during those months, but this year I made the difficult (and heartbreaking) decision to step away from coaching to focus on my family and growing my businesses. Itā€™s going to be really hard to not be apart of the team this year, but Iā€™m looking forward to taking care of my mental health and hitting some big personal and biz goals in 2025.

Recap:

āš”ļø Mike Stover, is a real estate agent who had me do some headshots for him last January, but the best part is that he coached me in Little League Softball when I was 9 years old and his daughter and I have become really close again since becoming moms and itā€™s been so much fun to get to rekindle an old friendship!
āš”ļøLindsey Wilson is a former Husky, pro WNBA hooper and the founder of and long time friend as well! Itā€™s been an honor to watch her grow her business as a mom of 4 daughters and be such a badass over the last several years. Go check her out
āš”ļøThe Knopf family has been in front of my lens for 5 years now for several sessions and theyā€™re literally always so photogenic. When their youngest son, Stirling (what a cool name right??) needed caked smash photos, you better believe we made that happen! Like can you even handle those smiles?
āš”ļø Luke graduated last June and we had two sessions, one of which we did in a studio in January! Luke is like an old soul and it was so fun taking his photos and getting to know his parents. I just love taking photos of senior boys because I love to make them feel comfortable and I always tear up a little when I think of McLane being a senior and they probably think Iā€™m a total weirdo and thatā€™s ok.

If youā€™re in need of a studio session or a branding session during these colder months, head to the contact form in my bio or send me a DM and Iā€™ll get you the information you need!

There are a few new faces around my photography page so I thought I would do a little reintroduction!

My name is Bailey and I am a full time photographer (5 years full time and almost 14 years in total). Iā€™m a mom of 3 kids, who are 5, 5, and 3. Yep, I have my hands full and I wouldnā€™t have it any other way āœØ I am also the founder of which is a community for moms who own their own business, or want to own their own business, and are looking to surround themselves with likeminded and totally badass women who are building the lives they love.

My job is the best and I thrive taking photos of families but I LOVE branding, personality photos, couples, and weddings. I love to encourage authentic interaction and my favorite moments are the ones in-between. My clients are incredible and many MANY of them have seen me grow through my career and theyā€™re STILL around and willing to step in front of my lens year after yearā€”how insanely lucky am I?!?

Other random bullet points:

āž•Baking is therapy and I even started a porch bakery for about 3 days for fun
āž•I played collegiate softball at UW and was a part of the 2009 National Champ Teamā€”Go Dawgs!
āž•I had a blog called Breakinā€™ it down with Bailey in college which then turned into a vlog, then into a published book, and then into a podcast but then I got pregnant with twins and it became too overwhelming
āž•If it wasnā€™t clear by the many things I do, I also have severe ADHD and in 2023 I told my mom I thought I needed to be diagnosed and she said ā€œyou wereā€¦in 2008ā€¦why do you think you had adderall?ā€ Which I hated it and took it for like 8 days. Who FORGETS they got diagnosed with ADHD??
āž•30+ year leukemia survivor
āž•My kids were born 20 months apart (the girls are 5 min apart) and our son needed surgery while in utero so we moved to a Texas for 3 months and had fetoscopic neural tube defect repair surgery. Literally like out of a episode.

There is so much more but this is it for now! Thank you for being here!! Do we have anything in common?!? Head to the comments to tell me about yourself or why youā€™re here!!

šŸ“ø Thank you for the beautiful images!

Minimal holiday studio sessions have my heart. I love the subtle hint that the holidays are approaching but also making your family the spotlight of the session. Many people keep their photos up year-round or print them out for use beyond holiday cards, and I always want to be mindful of that when choosing my holiday sessions. There is a little something for everyone!

The Connor family has been stepping in front of my camera for 4 or 5 years now and itā€™s always an honor to get to be the photographer who grows with your family. Iā€™ve watched Maverick go from smiley little dude to skeptical toddler back to a smiley dude looking at me like a long distance auntie he sees once a year and itā€™s just the best šŸ¤

Ok so letā€™s put it to a vote: minimal holiday vibes or do we want an even more christmassy set for next year?!? (Remember, I book a more holiday-esque set in Enumclaw but if you want Buddy the Elf style holiday decorā€”meaning Christmas EVERYWHEREā€”I know just where to go)!

You guys, I do 100-150 photoshoots a year (with most of those coming June to November) and I donā€™t even scratch the surface with sharing my images. Not because I donā€™t want to but because itā€™s so overwhelming to know where to start!

So today, I scrolled randomly and found this engagement session from last month where we had the most incredible evening, sunlight, and beautiful couple. I cannot get over these images.

Thank you Amirah & CJ for laughing at my dumb jokes and going with the weird poses only for them to turn out to be the favorites (like when I told you to kiss with your teeth and CJ cheesed then you BOTH erupted into laughter giving us a super cute photo on the next slide šŸ¤©)

Iā€™ll be blogging this one soon āœØ

Trick or treat ideas for photographers šŸ‘»šŸ˜šŸ”®

Happy Halloween to all my amazing clients who trust me to capture their photos āœØ the real ones have been here since my edits were truly a little scary but they trusted my growth and loved me anyway. I know these are silly trick or treats but I wouldnā€™t be here without you guys. Thank you for keeping my calendar booked and my editing queue full. For sharing your photos and recommending my services to your friends. For all that you have done to help my business grow.

Have a fun evening trick or treating if thatā€™s your thing!

Photographers, what did I miss šŸ˜†šŸ˜œ

October 25th is World Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus day. In January 2021 at 20 weeks my ultrasound showed a ā€œlemon-shapedā€ skull and an issue imaging his spine. I got the call on a Thursday that there was ā€œsomething wrongā€ with our babyā€™s brain but I wouldnā€™t see the high risk maternal fetal medicine doc until Monday. The anxiety and sadness that swept over me was debilitating. I could only think of the worst for the 72 hours between that call and MFM ultrasound.

After an ultrasound confirmed a spina bifida diagnosis, an amniocentesis confirmed Myelomeningocele, considered the most severe type of spina bifida where his spinal cord and nerves were fully exposed and developing outside his body at L4-S1.

The options felt grim, but fetal surgery in utero was the most appealing option for us. Unfortunately there were only a handful of states where open fetal surgery was offered. After sharing our story on social media, we were connected with an old college friend who happens to be married to , a high school friend of my brotherā€™s, who weā€™re going through the exact same experience, except with a less invasive fetoscopic surgery using probes down in Texas.

God took it from there. From connecting with Kristi and Shaddye about their fetoscopic surgery journey to being able to move our entire family into the house in Sugarland that the Meluā€™s rented while they were there, the timing was all just so insane. They were discharged from the hospital the day we had surgery and we were discharged the day after they moved out of the Sugarland house. It was truly all so perfectly timed.

As we planned the logistics of moving to Texas for 3 months, I struggled with the idea of intervening in utero with such an experimental surgery (I believe we were surgery 93 for Dr Belfort and Dr Whitehead). I felt like we were playing God. I was scared that we would lose himā€¦or both of us. I was just so overwhelmed with everythingā€¦oh, and the twins were 18 months old.

We had so much help, I canā€™t even properly thank everyone for all they did for us. The donations on gofundme, the meals in WA and TX, but most importantly our family. Cont šŸ‘‡šŸ¼

You donā€™t have to have a puppy in your branding photos to make more sales, but Iā€™m just saying it could probably help.

Itā€™s always an honor to capture a branding session, as a former softball player, I am just so proud of what has been building and itā€™s an honor to tell her story through photos šŸ˜

Keep up the great work my friend!
