hello, i’m bailey.
Originally from Canada, I moved to France after my photography studies, guided by a desire for exploration and personal growth. Here I rediscovered and deepened my French, immersed myself in a new culture, and began to view the world from a different perspective. Today, I document people, connection, and little in-between moments around Paris and Normandy. I have always been drawn to the idea of documenting, whether through photography or journaling, and to the mundane details of everyday life, such as simple moments that often go overlooked. What I love about photography is its ability to preserve emotion, to turn something fleeting into something you can hold and return to, again and again.
My approach
My approach to photography has always been quite intuitive and rooted in feeling instead of overplanning. I like to let a place or a person guide me first, and then I respond with my camera, almost like an unspoken dialogue rather than a structured shoot.
I am not really drawn to forcing moments into something overly perfect or polished. I prefer the in between ones, the slight movement, the unposed expressions, the way light moves and shifts without asking permission. Shooting on film has really deepened that for me. It slows everything down in a way that feels true. There is no rushing to check what I got, just a steady trust in instinct and timing.
More than anything, I think I am trying to preserve feeling. Not just how something looked, but how it felt to be there. That is what I come back to when I edit, and what I hope people sense when they see my work.
What I cherish most are my family photographs, captured on film. As a photographer focused on documenting families and meaningful celebrations, I aim to create images you can return to for years to come, photographs that gently bring back the emotion and atmosphere of the moment. I am deeply grateful to my own family for having preserved those fleeting, everyday moments we shared together, the ones that so often slip away with time.
