- During these holidays, I would like to talk with you about the word love.
We use it often to describe things, people, and our affection for both. I am totally that person who often exclaims, "I LOVE THAT!"
And when we hear that word love, how many of us think in terms of romantic love? What if we reminde[...]

- Calling all ghouls and goblins...guys and gals...we're here to wish our October peeps the happiest and very best of October birthday wishes!
We kicked off October wishing this sweet couple Happy Birthday wishes on Instagram, and it reminded me how important it was to get parents in front of the camera - not jus[...]

- I've been a wee bit quiet on the blogging front...and boy have I missed it! There's something so peaceful about sitting down to write. It's a chance to quiet the busy-ness in the world, and focus on one thing at a time.
Like the fact that it's finally feeling like fall here in Chapel Hill, NC.
I'll take the fal[...]

- I always have high hopes for September. It could be the teacher in me because I often think Back-to-School time is the time to start new projects. Fall is the time to celebrate and get ready for the holidays.
That said, September was a scorcher in terms of temperature. The leaves were changing colors and fall[...]

- As we celebrate this Labor Day weekend, I can feel summer saying goodbye. It’s in the cooler mornings and the lower temps throughout the day. It’s in the local college campus and the energy that it emanates.
But hold up! (‘Pump the brakes’ as my cousin Mark said to me recently.) We have some August birthdays to [...]

- Hello, June! This month is known for its kick off to summer, school getting out, and so much more!
It’s when we get to pack away the winter clothes, take out those shorts and sundresses, and feel a little sunshine on our arms.
(For my dog, I think he believes it is time to run through and submerge himsel[...]

Mr. Nussbaum, a 6th grade teacher in the Fairfax County Public Schools, shares this image and explains the idiom of how “time flies” means that time goes by very quickly, and I couldn’t think of a better way to sum up this past month. May seems to have flown right by me, and when I look back through my calendar, I[...]

- Having worked with children for years now – initially as an first grade teacher and then as a portrait and event photographer – I know one thing for sure. I know that all the children I have ever met have a song in their hearts.
Every child.
Sometimes it’s a quiet melody
and other times it’s a bri[...]

- In the creases of a mother's hands there is a history of love written there.
Over the years I have photographed mothers and their children, seen their smiles and captured their hugs. I have been a witness to the history they create together. It starts before Day One, but the days that I get to photograph the[...]

- As we wrap up the month of March – a time of springtime and showers, as well as school pride and bracket building – I wanted to take a moment to wish some of our peeps the happiest of birthday wishes.
Early in the month, the lovely Jenny celebrated her birthday
Followed by Kim who turned 14!
And th[...]

- Did you know that Elmo – the furry monster on Sesame Street – recently celebrated his birthday? One week ago, on February 3rd, that loveable baby monster on Sesame Street turned 3 ½ years old. In fact, every year on February 3rd he turns 3 ½ years old and has for the past 30+ years.
Fun little factoid, accordi[...]

Before January comes to a close – this month of milestones and celebrations – I wanted to highlight the birthdays we celebrated within Barbara Bell Photography.
One of the most lively multi-family portraits I captured was with the Cleaveland family last May, and the patriarch of the family, Peter, celebr[...]
