MEET THE CREATORS

BEHIND THE MAGIC

Baylee Jo Barnett

Creator, Owner, Photographer, Videographer, Editor, Secretary, Heart of it All

My name is Baylee Jo & I am the mastermind behind this whole thing! My 26 years of life began growing up in north Idaho, & more recently brought me to eastern Washington where I attended Washington State University. Since graduating with my Bachelor’s of Arts in 2020, I settled down here in the inland northwest with our 2 kitties, got married, & started this adventure, serving the community I grew up loving. I’ve been in love with creating ever since I can remember, always taking a particular interest in photography, creative writing, videography, & graphics. I think of myself as a storyteller at heart, & all of these passions of mine help me be exactly that, unfolding in the most unique, beautiful ways.

When I’m not hard at work crafting these beautiful stories I feel so lucky to document, I’m probably at home resting & watching my shows, enjoying the outdoors, spending time with friends & family, traveling, attending concerts, & yes, you can probably still find me taking pictures & videos of everything!

Ian David Barnes

Partner, Assistant, Second-shooter, Right-hand-man, Life-saver

This is the fella that you’ll see tagging along with me to your sessions & weddings: Ian Barnes, my wonderful husband. We have been together since 2014, & married since 2021, but we’ve known each other our whole lives, as we both grew up in Priest River, Idaho. Ian studied Environmental Science at Washington State University, & has worked all sorts of positions in the natural resources field ever since. He is now working in water resources, & they are so lucky to have someone as passionate as him. When he’s not too busy being a scientist, he loves to dip his toes into the world of creating, & has aspirations of getting into nature photography (stay tuned!) He is my best friend in the entire world, which makes him so perfect in this role as my assistant & second-shooter. Ian is vital to every project, as he is so thoughtful, innovative, & is truly the definition of a right-hand-man. Ian’s attention to detail, & ability to capture the same moment as me in his own unique, creative way is why I insist he comes along to every session, as he brings a whole new light to your story. Consider him your good luck charmβ€”I know I do!
