Hey hey!
I’m Sydney Baye. I was raised in a camper van by my young hippie parents seeking out the next campsite and climbing rock. I’m a former model, an unschooling kind of mother, offbeat and an open book; by the end of your wedding night, I will have befriended your entire guest list.
Most people in this industry have this beautiful story on how they came to be a photographer. “My dad bought me a camera for Christmas when I was five years old.” You know…those stories.
Not me. You see, I dropped out of the glamorous modeling world, landed myself in business school and–truthfully–hated being told what to do. I wanted to be my own boss and flex my creativity. I knew the camera well, so I bought my own, dropped out of business school and, within the first month of shooting, had 18 clients. The rest, as they say, is history.
I see the world through photographs. A couple runs across the street holding hands, and in my head I hear click-click-click as my eyes track like with the frame and shutter of my camera. Light will dance on a wall and I see the veil of a bride caressing her cheek as I create her bridal portraits. It excites me to no end to be entrusted with the record-keeping of some of the biggest and most important moments of your life. If you’re with me, let’s talk. I’d love to get to know your story.
See me in action.
Meet my sunshines.
I hope we connect and that I can be the one entrusted with your memories. With me, you’re hiring the whole family. My kids and husband (who filmed this sweet video) sacrifice a ton so that I am fully and presently yours for the time that you hire me for. Chances are we’ll end up friends for life.
