Since we are new to the blogging world, we wanted to give a little insight into who we are as photographers and what our studio does! We love creating personal relationships with our clients and giving them the best experience possible.

 

What is Brick Street Studio?

We are a dual photographer team servicing the state of Michigan and beyond. Our studio is located right in the heart of Ionia, on the beautiful red brick road of downtown. At Brick Street Studio we provide a customized personal approach for all of your photography needs. The boutique experience that we offer allows us to handcraft each session to fit your style. We are sure to give our clients the highest care and cater to every detail throughout the experience, from the initial consultation through the gallery reveal. We want to be sure our clients will have a photography experience they will never forget.

Who Are We? 

Karlee Bailey & Marisa Lies. We are a team of photographers pursuing our dream careers. One of the best parts of this job is having the opportunity to meet so many new people and capture some of the most important times of their lives. If you contact us, you will most likely have the opportunity to talk to our assistant, Keysha. Be sure to check out her business Keysha Rose Photography. We also work closely with Jaysyn of JayBird Films

The Photographers:

I’m Karlee. I am 25 and I have lived in Michigan my entire life. I took up photography when I was 18 and received my Associates Degree in Photography from Grand Rapids Community College in 2015. I am married to my best friend, Logan, and together we have three fur babies. A cat named Wilma, and two dogs named Wallace and Poncho.

I am a Disney lover, a musician, and singer but I don’t think I’m very good (I’ll leave that up to my husband), and for some reason, I’m a little obsessed with Benedict Cumberbatch. Don’t be shocked if you run into me and my hair is a different color from the first time we met. I like to change it often!

I can be pretty goofy once I get to know you but that spunk really comes out in my shooting style. It really makes me the fun and outgoing artist I am today. I specialize in Senior Portraits, Wedding Portraits, and Pet Portraits.

 

I am Marisa. I am from the Happy Valley in Pennsylvania (State College, PA) but have been a Michigan resident for over 10 years. I started photography in 2010 and am mostly self-taught. I have three children who I absolutely adore. Cameron, Taylor and Austin, they were my main reason for taking up photography. Photographing them truly started my passion.

I am a Penn State football lover, a coffee drinker, and I am always wearing the color black. I do love to travel and explore new places either on my own or with my children. Seeing and photographing Lake Michigan is one of my favorite things to do! I also enjoy teaching my gymnastics class that I hold during different months throughout the year.

I am very passionate about what I do and love knowing I am setting a great example for my children by working towards my goals every year. Being able to do something that I love for a living is one of the greatest feelings! I specialize in Newborn & Children Portraits, Family Portraits, & Senior Portraits.
