about

Bailey

Rooted in central Utah, I grew up in the saddle, chasing rodeo thrills and open skies. Music, movies, and live concerts set my soul on fire, and I live for the rush of discovering new places. Documenting has always been second nature to me. I never wanted to miss a moment. A laugh. A sunset. The sun on my skin. My camera roll has always been overflowing, not just with photos but with feelings—with memories I never want to forget. 

I believe memories are the most valuable things we own—little pieces of time we can hold onto. Maybe that’s why I’ve always been the friend with the camera, the one instinctively capturing moments as they naturally unfold. I never set out to be a photographer, but now, it makes perfect sense. I was always the one documenting. I didn’t just take pictures; I captured the way it all felt. And somewhere along the way, that turned into more than just a habit.

It became what I was meant to do.

Maybe that’s why I’ve always been drawn to the old photo albums—the ones filled with everyday life. My grandparents didn’t need a special occasion to pull out a camera. They photographed the quiet, ordinary moments too—washing dishes, shoveling snow, sitting on the porch in the evening light. And I’m so glad they did. It was like I lived it too. Those images, simple as they are, have become some of my favorites. I love seeing the clothes they wore, how their hair fell, what the world around them looked like. 

Back then, documenting was just part of life. A way to remember—not just the milestones, but the mundane. Their generation understood that time passes quickly, and that even the smallest moments deserve a place in the story.

I think we need more of that now. More intention. More memory-making. Because one day, years from now, you’ll open up an old photo album, and your grandchildren will get to see what life looked like in your day. The way you laughed. The way you lived. And in that moment, everything will come full circle. You’ll feel it all again. That’s the magic I want to give you.
