Mike Bayley was raised in Raleigh, N.C. has worked as a professional photographer for 30 years. Originally as a B/W photojournalist for the U.S. Navy during the Viet Nam years, then learning his portrait and people skills managing a large portrait studio in Jacksonville, Fla. for 15 years. Photographing hundreds of weddings, countless beach portraits and many, many children and high school seniors, Mike returned home to the triangle in the late 80’s opening his own portrait studio in Raleigh in 1992. Mike has the creativity and people skills to capture the important moments and events in our lives that become cherished memories. For Mike, an artist with an eye for details, emotions, lighting, and beauty, photography is his way of capturing the personal relationships of his subjects. From the innocence of a small child, the developing beauty of teenage girl, to the romance and emotions of a bride and her groom, Mike gives all of his clients his very best effort. “I love my job, its something different every day. I love being able to capture something special for my clients that they will love and will be a part of their family heritage the rest of their lives”.

Suite 102 Raleigh, N.C. 27612 SENIORS: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW- LOOK FOR THE DIFFERENCE IN QUALITY & VALUE… There are several portrait studios in the triangle area taking senior portraits including the school photographers. But none of them have the experience, know how, quality and training of Mike Bayley. When you come to our studio you will have the skill of one of the southeast’s leading professional photographers. Some seniors make the mistake of selecting their senior portrait photographer without researching what their really getting for their money, quality and value should be the first thing that you look for. “The most expensive portraits are the ones that you don’t like, or that aren’t the quality that they should be for what you are paying.” SENIORS: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW- LOOK FOR THE DIFFERENCE IN QUALITY & VALUE… More than likely, you have or will receive many mailings offering specials or even “low prices.” Senior portraits are often advertised on price alone, because price seems easy to compare. What isn’t easy to compare is what you actually get for your money. The quality of a portrait is determined by many factors: posing, background, lighting, expression, printing quality, finish, presentation, even the little things like how you were treated by the staff, delivery time and the guarantee. At Mike Bayley Photography you will be photographed by one of the top senior portrait photographers in the south who has numerous awards for his photography and 25 years experience of working with high school seniors. For a lifetime investment, Mike Bayley Photography believes that value and quality are more important than price. Because price only tells you what you paid, but value says that you got a great deal for what you paid. At Mike Bayley Photography you will always get much more than you pay for.
