- Last Friday evening, the weather turned, the temps dropped, and the wind blew strong. However, that didn’t keep supporters of St Thomas More in Chapel Hill from attending their gala and auction. The theme for this soiree? I love the 80s. The gala committee did an amazing job with their decor, and Pastry Chef Sara Bet[...]

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- I love when I get to work with a really fabulous team who is passionate about what they do and who they interact with. This law firm, their people, and the community they've created in Chapel Hill, North Carolina believes in Carolina Blue, friendship, and being so very real and authentic.
How do I know that? [...]

- Today may be Halloween, but the real costumes came out on Friday night when sponsors, hosts, and fans of the Chapel Hill Public Library Foundation came dressed to the nines in their finest Roaring ‘20s vintage wear. Gangsters and their molls, feather boas galore, not to mention a signature gin cocktail for the evening[...]

- Did you see these fun images on Barbara Bell Photography’s Instagram account and wonder what was going on?
So sorry to leave you hanging these past couple of days! The good news is that I am now ready to share the shooting I did on Saturday night.

- Phew! We survived Hurricane Matthew with little issue. The power stayed on. Trees stayed upright. To the people who were less fortunate with their homes and their businesses, my thoughts are with you.
Usually a rainy day for me means staying inside to bake. Last week, though, our oven died so in planning for the[...]

- In less than 30 days, the Chapel Hill Public Library Foundation will be celebrating its 20th anniversary and what better way to commemorate the occasion than throwing a Roaring ‘20s soiree!
Get ready for the sweet sounds of jazz, the forbidden tastes of libations, and some high-rollin’ at the gaming tables. Sou[...]

- Happy 1st day of fall!
This sweet girl looks pretty impressed with her first birthday party's decorations. I loved the personalized pumpkin the moment I saw it and watching E. climb and play near it was too much fun! First birthday parties are a great way to gather all your friends and family toge[...]

Growing up, my family celebrated this holiday by going to the Feast of the Three Saints in Lawrence, MA. This past[...]
