A few weeks back I meet with a couple for maternity pictures, it was do or don’t because Kristi is on bed rest and with her carrying twins theres a pretty good chance she won’t carry full term. I was super excited to work with this couple because Chad and Kristi are super fun to be around and there’s no denying they are in love. They are upbeat, fun, and had no problem showing off their great personalities in front of the camera. You can tell Chad is going to be a great dad, he has that laid back type of personality and was more than willing to help Kristi get around. He was very in tune with her and his eyes never left her, not one second. He seem’s to be very nurturing and caring and with that quality I just know he will make a great father. Now there’s no doubt in my mind that these two will be fighting for the parent of the year award, because Kristi is so sweet and kind hearted, she’s the kinda girl that makes you feel calm and peaceful by just being around her. These two little girls are going to bless and be blessed all at the same time. Brooklyn and Braelyn have no clue what they are about to partake in. I am so excited for their arrival and can’t wait to do their newborn session.. Be on the look out for some serious cuteness when these little girls make their grand entrance. Until then enjoy their Mommy and Daddy showing off for the camera
When I first spoke to Sandra over the phone I could tell she was filled with excitement and couldn’t wait to get her little girls pictures done! We set a date and location and it was all history from there! Leona was a blast and kept me laughing the entire time. I can’t wait to meet her little sister!
a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.
Many people describe it differently. Some say there’s no such thing, others like myself, live and breath it, and if you open your eyes you can see it all around you. Love comes in many shapes, sizes, colors, and types. One type of love is the sight of a mother holding her newborn baby, that is a instant love, the love a mother feels for her children is indescribable from what I hear. There is no denying it and only a mother who has experienced it can explain it. I hope to one day be able to tell you about that type of love first hand. The love of a mother isn’t the only type of love out there though, there is also the more typical love, we all experience this one, it’s a love for the objects that make us happy. That can be anything from your new car, to a boat, or a flat screen tv, or even your mom’s homemade macaroni and cheese, in my case I have many love’s when it comes to this type of love, some of the things that make me happy are my animals, my 27″ imac, my camera, flip flops, and I could type for hours about things I enjoy, but you understand what I am saying. Those are examples of superficial love, and you would be lying if you said you don’t experience this love right along with me. There is also brotherly and sisterly love, the love between friends, your granny or grandpa, that special aunt who always brought you a present when visiting, the lady at the drive thru bank teller with the tasty dum dum lollipops, and then there is the type of love that I know all to well about. This is a big one for me, it’s the Love that gives me butterflies, and makes me want to hurry back home because I know he’s there waiting for me. I call this “true love” it’s the love that almost every one shares at one point in time. Sometime’s it can be painful, sometime’s it can be down right dreadful, but hopefully all of those hard times will out weigh the breathtaking moment’s that two people share when their heart’s are beating as one. Every couple has their own language and every couple is unique, which is why I love being a photographer. I love capturing that moment, you know the one that makes you say aww, when you see it? I love being able bottle up all of the energy a couple has around one another and place it inside a photograph that will last a lifetime. A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to work with the sweetest couple, their love language was very fluent They were glowing around each other, and I am so happy to have been able to spend the day with them and get to know them. Take a peek and enjoy their love, if it doesn’t make you smile, I am not sure what will.

Ian and Whittney,
Thank you for choosing me as your photographer. I enjoyed working with you both, and I hope to work with you again, Enjoy the slideshow I made of your session.
This morning when I woke up and logged on to facebook I was THRILLED and HONORED to see that yesterday I was chosen to be featured as a photographer on the amazing Faythe Mesic’s blog. As I read the word’s Faythe had wrote about me my cheeks turned a bright shade of red,
Read what Faythe had to say,
Mrs. Bell is exactly as her last name implies. A southern bell true to heart in many ways. For instance today her status was “About to head to Georgia to go get a trailer load of hay for the horses & donkeys,” that’s right this beautiful lady who if I do say so myself is very fashion forward every time I see her, has her own little farm zoo going on. I guess one of the reasons she is always so fashionable and put together is because Brittany is also a trained hairstylist. Her love for all things artistic shines in every image she takes and each person in front of her lens inspires her love for photography.
As a photographer I am very thankful for the network here in Jacksonville. I have met so many WONDERFUL people and work with people that are caring and amazing at what they do.
I love you all more than you will ever know and I am truly blessed to have your support and the most important thing of all, your friendship.
