Hi, I'm Jessie Bailey, owner and lead photographer of Midnight Mountain Photography, LLC. Growing up surrounded by the mountains of Southwest Virginia taught me to appreciate life's simplest and most meaningful moments—something that continues to inspire my work today.

My photography journey began at just 14 years old when my mother gifted me my camera for Christmas. From that moment on, I fell in love with photography and the ability to preserve memories that might otherwise fade with time.

I am here to capture all the timeless, emotional, memorable, and time-sensitive memories.


I specialize in Weddings, Elopements, and Senior Sessions! These three categories are my passion at heart. You can trust me to bring your vision to life. I handle these moments with the utmost and professional care.
