About Me!
Hello! My name is Baylie Somsen and I am a portrait photographer in Webster, South Dakota. I have an obsession with anything coffee or chocolate related. I have a dog, a few cats, a handful of chickens, and two pigs! I have always enjoyed photography because it is a way to capture moments that you never want to forget. I decided to specialize in portrait photography because I believe the detail that humans were made with is more beautiful than anything else. Each person has different details that make them unique, and that is what makes portrait photography fun. My goal for all my sessions is to be able to capture the details that define you and your personality.
