I was really concerned with the cost of photography because I didn't know if I had it in my budget. I am so happy I paid for Perptua Photography and would do it again in a heartbeat. Book Perpetua Photography! Don't even think twice about it!

The Portfolio

Meet Bailey

the photographer

I found my way into photography, fell in love with photography, and stayed with photography all these years (15 years!) because it's an intersection of entering into life with real people, playing with and celebrating beautiful sights, and conjuring up a feeling; the work of it, the editing and preparing and tying it all up with a bow is like giving a gift. A gift I know you will love because I know how much our photos mean to me. I should also mention that I'm a bit of a granny. In the sense that I am overly enthusiastic about a good quilt but also in that I seriously avoid extra screen time. I'm here for the photos because they are irresistibly wonderful, but after that I'm back to baking cookies and riding bikes with the kids. So what I'm saying is...I probably have no idea how to use the latest social media platform. Doesn't mean your photos won't rock, just means I'm a granny in my free time. I do have instagram, which I use to look at quilts. (Not a joke.)

Here's a picture of me with my husband. I am so so thrilled that he is my husband. It's good for all of us that he's my husband because he makes it all possible.

All the Details

Weddings

Your dreamy day only happens once, and it's my job to make sure you get to stay on cloud nine while I make forever art out of your moments, wishlist, and timeline. 15 years of wedding photography experience have given me a strong sense of how to plan photos into precious wedding day time, what to anticipate, and how to navigate everything from weather to family dynamics. Typical wedding packages start at $2500. Shorter wedding days, season, and availability are reasons I have often adjusted typical prices.

Seniors

I love and look forward to senior sessions with all my heart! It is the combination of the sweetness of senior year with all the freedom to use light, location, time, and style. I so genuinely enjoy getting to know each senior and finding ways to highlight them. I simply love it! We can do anything you're dreaming of, and I have options from very simple to very spectacular! Senior experience starting at $295.

Families

It's hard enough to get them all together, dress them all up, and make it happen. Let me do the rest! Family sessions start at $199 with options to stay simple or add anything you can envision.

Style

honest

True to color

timeless

chill

Style! It's what makes me so excited every spring when it's time to take photos outside again! I love the way colors make us feel things, the way certain scenes bring us right back, and the way certain details say so much. I want us to feel like all is right in the world when we remember our moments, and I think photos have the power to do that.

The other aspect of my style is the client experience. Mine involves a laid back dynamic during capture time and a let's-do-whatever-we-need-to-do-to-make-you-feel-at-ease-and-look-good attitude. I'm a people person with a knack for making normal or even dreaded things fun. Not that anyone dreads photos...how could they right?!
