It’s amazing that it’s almost one year since I launched Bella Mi Photography.  July 1st will mark the first anniversary, and I feel so honored to have met so many awesome families, amazing kids, sweet souls and happy hearts.  I’ve witnessed deeper connections among families than I ever thought possible.  I’ve had the honor of capturing timeless moments with the sweet anticipation of new life, and heartbreakingly capturing a mother’s love, deep faith, and strength beyond what I thought was possible while facing a terminal illness.  And lots of silly, crazy moments in between — the boundless energy of children, discovery, innocence, incredible joy, deep love and connections with family.  When I first began, I never knew how much I would feel, how much I would fall in love with these families, and how much I would grow personally and professionally.  I can’t imagine doing anything else.   

 Here’s one of my favorite images from my most recent session — Baby G, who I had the privilege of capturing while he was still cozy in mommy’s belly!!   

He is just GORGEOUS – and I loved finally meeting him!!  I look forward to watching him grow — he has the most incredible blue eyes, so strong I’m sure they’ll stay!! 

Thanks to all who have booked sessions with me this past year — I’ve loved every minute and look forward to growing with you, capturing the beauty of your spirits and the love you share with one another.
