Our Story

Kindred & Sol began as a dream between two photographers with a heart for community and connection - a shared vision to create something meaningful, not just for ourselves, but for other kindred spirits.

We imagined a space filled with light - the kind that warms a room and sparks creativity - where people feel at home, seen, and inspired. A place that honors simplicity, beauty, and honest connection in all forms.

Kindred & Sol reflects what we value most: creativity, collaboration, and community. It's more than a studio - it's a space to gather, grow, and shine.

We're Bailey & Stacey, two Monroe natives, photographers, and friends who believe in the power of creating something beautiful right where you're planted.

Kindred & Sol in a reflection of our shared love for this town, its people, and the creative community we're so proud to be a part of.

Combined we've spent over 20 years building our own photography businesses - Marble + Wild Photography and BYP Studios LLC - and Kindred & Sol is a natural extension of that creative journey, and we can't wait to meet you.
