- If you’ve been reading the Barbara Bell Photography blog for a while now, you may remember it way back when we were on the Blogger platform…and you may remember reading about a sweet rescue dog by the name of Lulu over there.
It was sad news when we heard from our neighbors in San Carlos that Lulu had passed awa[...]

- 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[...]

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[...]

- 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[...]

- 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 [...]

- By the time we reach Thanksgiving, our portrait sessions for the year are wrapping up, but I had the opportunity to photograph this family of three in time for holiday portraits. Hurrah! I wouldn’t have traded this time behind the camera or this morning light. And running around the woods photographing a two-year-ol[...]

- Last week, I showed a sneak peek of my photo session with J. – the sweet 18 month old with a twinkle in her eye.
This is a great age to do a “day in the life” photo shoot. The shoot is meant to feel like a casual get-together where we spend time together visiting favorite locations, having a few outfit changes [...]

- Morning light brought out J.'s smile, but I think she outshines the sun, don't you?
I'll share more on this sweet girl in the coming days. Stay tuned...
