Hi, I'm Bailey Elease

Your photographer.


Portraiture has always been my first love.


Photography gives me an open door to capture you and the moments that matter to you authentically. For me, it has never been about simply creating the “perfect” photograph. It’s about creating a space where you can feel comfortable, confident and completely yourself.


Because sometimes you just need someone on the other side of the lens to remind you how beautiful you already are — inside and out.


That’s what Bare Your Skin has always been about.
