Hello! I'm Nicole Bailey,

Photographer and Illustrator based in Godfrey, Illinois. I started this photography journey with a passion for capturing nature and wildlife. However, I discovered that incorporating people into beautiful settings made the photos that much more special. I am drawn to beautiful light and spontaneous and imperfect moments. The photos where you can be yourself. I specialize in intimate photo sessions and would love to capture your story! 


If you are interested in working with me and love moody and candid photos

- let's connect! 


More about me

I have been with my husband Spencer for 14 years. We eloped in 2018 and it was truly romantic!

I have a German Shepherd named Aegon and two cats, Donnie and Lulu.

I can't start my day without coffee.

I love spicy food and hot sauces, every kind!

When I am not out and about taking photos, I love to paint and draw. Mostly cute animals in whimsical settings.

I have a passion for nature and adore all wildlife.

I dream of having an animal sanctuary one day.

I get excited when fall comes around because of everything pumpkin spice.

Misty mornings are my favorite.

My favorite music genres are metalcore and classical, what a combination!

I adore romantic period dramas.

Why the name June Dusk?


The name "June Dusk" is a homage to the enchanting time of day that continues to inspire my photographic exploration and storytelling.
