- If you follow Barbara Bell Photography on Facebook you've already seen some of the photographs from the 2016 Confirmation Ceremony at St. Charles Church in San Carlos, California, and if you follow along on Instagram, you know I've decreed it Year of the Bow Tie!
I mean, how fab do these guys look?? Am I right?!

- Happy (belated) new year!
We are over ten days into 2016, and doesn’t it feel good to start a new year? It’s like the first page in a new notebook…clean, crisp, and ready for another chapter of the story that each one of us is writing.
I’ve been quiet on the blog as I finished up year-end projects and photo sho[...]

- On this first day of November, I am dying to know – have you been enjoying your fall? This is my favorite season, so I am loving the leaves on the ground, the pumpkins at the market, and the crisp air in the morning.

I think of this ph[...]

- My last Five Photos post mentioned briefly about my cross-country road trip, and I promise to post photos from that fab adventure. No, really…even if you’re thinking to yourself, “Promises like pie crusts!” I promise … it’s coming…! When I’ve chatted with a few of you, your number one request is … “tell us about ‘life[...]

- When a client that I have worked with previously calls me and says she'd like to book another session, I am thrilled and humbled at the same time. I am thrilled because I get to do the work I love. I get to pick up a camera, adjust my settings, and create a photograph that will inspire a family with the memories of t[...]

- To photograph this girl with this smile is a favorite of mine. This is my third family portrait session with Z and her family, and each time I think we laugh a little bit more, stay a little bit longer, and capture a whole lot of family love. How could I not be honored to photograph them with each passing year? More[...]

- Have you missed Friday’s Five Photos? I’ve certainly missed posting it. Notice anything else? Yes, I am now on a different blogging platform! I’ve loved using Blogger, and you can still find the previous posts there.
To evolve, we must change, and the past few months have brought great change for me, for BBPhoto, an[...]

- I am a portrait and wedding photographer, and I split my time between San Carlos, CA and Chapel Hill, NC.
I photograph because I believe that the details of our lives matter.
