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[...]

- Happy New Year!

- If you follow me on Instagram, you would have seen this cutie-patootie smiling back at you. Meet G.
G. was fun to photograph and had such a sweet smile. What made it extra special was that Mom wanted to make sure we got a photo of Riley, their dog, as well. Riley's an older gal who found it hard to move, but [...]

- 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[...]

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[...]
