photographer in northern minnesota

Hi! I'm Bailey. I'm a senior and wedding photographer, mom, and wife based in the great northwoods of Minnesota. Caveat: We do live in town. Sort of.

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!

Who We Are

About bailey + Ben

Based in Greenbush, MN, we are just two 30-somethings working through those years where our kids are little and take over every blessed moment of life. Bailey takes on the kids by day and then goes out to take photos in the evenings so her social side can flourish. We love the great outdoors, we live for the little moments together, and we love entering into life with others. Photos are about the people in them, and we want to honor those people and their treasured moments in life. Photography is an art that's meant to be a gift. A gift to you!

The Portfolio

Meet Bailey

We love community, and reconnecting with old friends or building new relationships is a shared favorite aspect of this work. The people time is our jam!

As you can see, I used to have this super fun curly hair. Then I had Eleanor, and she stole it from me. It's seriously not even curly, but I'm still fun. Let's get together.

 

Meet Bailey

the photographer

I found my way into photography, fell in love with photography, and stayed with photography all these years because its 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.

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 wishlist and shine when there are no "big moment re-dos." They are beautiful and joyful, and while my sentiments sometimes get the best of me, I am always ready to rise to the reality that wedding days mean better photos under tougher conditions. Uncontrolled lighting scenarios, quick time crunches, anticipating obstacles, and all the love and joy on so many special faces to capture. Typical wedding packages start at $2500. Cost may be adjusted for shorter wedding days, season, and availability

Seniors

Light, location, time, and style are ours to play with! The amount of control we have to carefully capture and create just what you have envisioned is what makes these sessions so fun! And this special chapter of life is a joy for me to be a part of. 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 $499.

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 dream up.

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! My style is keep us true to color with some pop, and I'm always excited to try a new spin or a classic look. I do have fun playing around with popular trends, but when it comes to editing I always feel like we will want to look back on these photos after those trends have come and gone. True to color never goes out of style, but sometimes old styles are half the fun of looking back!

 

The other aspect of 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-comfy-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?!
