- This past Monday the sun shone brightly and sky was the clearest blue (some might even say Carolina blue)! It was the perfect weather to host 26 members of the Sir Walter Cabinet who drove from all over the state to join the University Women’s Club for their Annual Meeting at the Carolina Inn.
The Annual Meeting[...]

- In March I like to celebrate “Pets and their Peeps,” but before you think we’ve gone to the dogs, consider this: the health benefits of owning a pet (or spending time with someone else’s pet) have been widely documented and are pretty tough to dispute.
For example, did you know that a study published by the Journal [...]

- As this month of love wraps up, I wanted to send an additional birthday wish out to our clients and friends who were born in the month of February. I think Style By Twee said it best when she posted this image on Instagram!
For the first of the birthdays this month, a special shout out to this guy who turned 6 [...]

- Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing this sweet family in Morrisville, North Carolina.
Even though it's February, and it can be cold out, the sun and the light at this time of year is so stunning. Another reason for the shoot to happen over President's Day weekend was that we had the added bonus tha[...]

- 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[...]

- Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing the Confirmation ceremony at St. Charles Church in San Carlos, California. This was the 11th year that Barbara Bell Photography captured this ceremony, and I am always moved by how gracious the young adults in the program are.
Confirmation is one of the seven sacram[...]

- With the advent of a new year, we have a whole lot of days, weeks, and photo adventures to look forward to this year. One of the questions I am often asked is, “What photo trends are coming for this year?”
While I may not be able to tell the future, many other forecasters do a great job of showing what’s coming to [...]

- After the hustle and bustle of the holidays, I was so thrilled to get this New Year’s card from a dear high school friend. Who doesn’t love Happy New Year wishes? Her family looks so happy in this photo, and even my husband commented when he came home and ran across the card hanging on our fridge.
How cute are[...]

- Now that the Christmas season is winding down, are you wondering what to do with all those Christmas cards?
Here are three suggestions:
#1 - Take them down. Crop them. Add them to a photo album with the year noted.
My mom does this, and when I go to visit her, I can pick up an annual album and see photos[...]

- Happy New Year!
I love new beginnings, and the start of the New Year is a great new beginning. It’s the chance to try something new, try something again, or clear your decks to make room for more of what you love. A new year is a celebration and a milestone in itself. What will you celebrate this year?

Does it feel like 2016 flew by? It does, doesn’t it? But then I take a pause and look back over these past 12 months, and realize how full 2016 really was...
JANUARY
Thank you to this family who invited me into their home to photograph the three of them. These three have a joy that was the undercurrent of our [...]
