We had the good fortune of connecting with Bailey Weisser and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Bailey, what matters most to you?
The biggest value I strive to display in my business is serving others well. It has been a process of learning the needs of others and what I can bring of value. My mind is geared towards how I can help others, bring them value, an incredible experience, and make things easier for them. My heart is to provide stress-free family photos from styling to installing for busy families. I know that your time is valuable and spent cleaning up spilled juice packs and folding tiny clothes. The stress centered around family photos is REAL and can be overwhelming (especially for new mamas). With that in mind, I have created a portrait experience unlike any other that is geared toward serving families every step of the way. I know entering into the motherhood journey can be lonely and scary and full of questions, and I love to be a resource to moms (as a mom of 3 myself) to be a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, and a wall to bounce thoughts off of. Serving my clients well goes way beyond what I do in my studio. Its about creating relationships that foster into friendships and my clients can count on my for more than creating photographs.

What should our readers know about your business?
I think it all boils back to service. My goal is not JUST to get pretty photos in my clients hands. It is WAY more than that. My goal is to go above and beyond and serve from the very beginning from helping clients choose what to wear, having a wardrobe available for them to browse. Providing professional hair and makeup services so that moms can relax and enjoy every moment with their baby, to providing an unforgettable portrait experience and design process where their images are turned into artwork and have a home on their walls. It’s more than just pretty photos, it’s about providing an experience that captures the family’s milestones in a way that makes them feel valued and loved.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Clarkesville is such a charming town. I would absolutely take them for pizza at our favorite spot- Copper Pot. We would browse downtown and visit my favorite shops- The Market on Washington and Wool and Flax. We would go hiking on some of the amazing trails and mountains in the area and see some of the gorgeous waterfalls North Georgia has to offer. The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My husband Nate has been a great source of encouragement and support. Starting a business is a tremendous leap of faith for a young family and he trusted the process and has given me encouragement every step of the way! I couldn’t go without shouting out my mentor and friend Jessica with Five Fourteen Photography. Jess has been outstanding and I am so thankful for her. Anytime I feel discouraged or frustrated she encourages me and gives me guidance and comfort. I would definitely not be who I am or where I am without her.
