Danielle- Class of 2019

Meet Danielle!

Danielle was selected to be our Senior Model from our Instagram Giveaway that took place a few months back. We were excited to have her join our little Brick Street Fam and we found out why last weekend during her first session. She is such a joy to photograph! Easy to get along with and such a beautiful personality. She made it fun and easy for us and I think we did the same for her. We are definitely excited to do a few different types of sessions with her as well as her full senior portrait session. Keep a look out for those throughout the up coming year!

A few fun facts about Danielle:

She is involved in a lot of actives such as Cheerleading, Basketball, Snowboarding, and more
Her favorite movie is The Blind Side (such a good movie!)
Has a genuine and fun personality
Her favorite band is Florida Georgia Line

We are taking on class of 2019 seniors so get your dates scheduled soon! If you’re not sure that we are the perfect photographers to capture your senior year, set up your pre consultation with us free of charge to go over any questions you might have for us. Our goal is to give you a senior experience like none other!

Isn’t she stunning?! Another option to add to your senior experience is video by JayBird Films. We were able to do a video during Danielle’s session and it is such an awesome add on option!

Class of 2018: See Ya Later!

As we finish up with the class of 2018, I wanted to share a few of our favorites from the last year. What fun we have had with all of these fellow graduates. We were able to watch them grow throughout the last year and even see some changes from their first sessions into their final sessions.

One of my favorite things about photographing seniors is seeing the changes that take place from our initial consultation all the way through their gallery reveal. A lot of these students, we meet at the end of their junior year and continue working with them throughout most of their senior year. I get to watch them grow as people and see them make their way into adulthood.

We have had so much fun photographing seniors all over the state and beyond. We’re really hoping to do a few more traveling seniors this coming year. I travel to Traverse City area quite often throughout the summer and will be giving the option to photograph you up in the Traverse Bay area or other gorgeous surrounding landmarks. This year we were able to make it to an awesome variety of locations including Ionia, Portland, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Penn State, Stanton, Lowell, and more!

Here is to the next chapter of your lives! We want to wish all of our Class of 2018 seniors the best of luck in their future endeavors and look forward to seeing what you will accomplish. Thanks for another wonderful year of senior portraits, we cannot wait to get started with the class of 2019!

Class of 2019 seniors are now booking dates! If you’re part of the class of 2019 seniors and are interested in a date, please don’t hesitate to get it scheduled. Our schedule is filling quickly! We pride ourselves in giving our seniors a handcrafted experience that will be more than just a photo shoot. We make it an experience!

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.
