About Mary Bailey


My
Story
Hi Everyone! My name is Mary Bailey. Welcome to my little space where I get to share who I am as an artist and what inspires me to create.
​
I studied film photography in college at Metro Tech Community College and transitioned that education into becoming a professional photographer for over 22 years. In 2000 I spent 6 years managing a commercial portrait studio. In 2006, I opened my own portrait studio and managed it for 17 years. In 2020, I decided to return to my first love- landscape photography.
​
My love of the natural world started for me quite young. It was while traveling with my family and exploring Yellowstone National Park. This is where I first remember falling deeply in love with all the wild things.
​
Capturing the natural world always takes my breath away, I find peace in the fluid & turbulent flow of it. Not unlike my own life it can seem chaotic but in truth, it is in perfect balance.
I have come to understand that the natural world has something special to teach me. She speaks to my heart, allowing me to express my love for her in photography.
​
I invite you to come along with me as I explore the beauty of the seasons through my photography. My hope is that you too will feel the love and appreciation I have for my subject as there is nothing I enjoy more than losing myself in the earth's wild places.
