Ok, so…..I have really been slacking on my Sunday Morning Coffee posts! I have vowed to refresh and restart the random rantings that are Sunday Morning Coffee posts next week….but for now- here is one “sneak peak” image from one of my shoots yesterday. This little girl is a contestant for the Bella Bambino [beautiful baby] contest. It was SUCH a pleasure to photograph her! ENJOY!
Today- I shot my brother! He needed some new images for his website and for promo materials etc. Here is what we came up with!!
My SIS shot this one of me and michael!
Just a little sneak peak of an image from each engagement session I had this weekend! ENJOY!
The Bella Couture branch of Bella Bambino Photography focuses on unique, high-fashion style portraiture of high-school seniors, engagement and bridal features-Trash the Dress shoots. This is the “grown-up” version of Bella Bambino! The newly designed logo is pictured below. It was created by the very talented Jodi Bell of Chocolate Cactus Designs! Visit the main site www.bellabambinophotography.com and click on the BELLA COUTURE link to view the new site! It still needs some minor tweaks- but it was ready to be debuted! ENJOY!! Please call the studio at 573.651.4408 (MO) or 304.724.6555(WV) to schedule a senior, engagement or Trash the Dress Session!
Heather….I love you! I have had this vision FOREVER and have just never had the chance to execute it…..today I DID!! I shot a TRASH THE DRESS [bridal feature] today, and at the end, I talked Heather into going ALL THE WAY into a lake…..YUP- she even dunked her head under the water for me. Now, this may not seem like that big of a deal for those not present, but, the water was muddy….and fishy….and probably leechy…..and snakey…..and just overall YUCKY! She was SUCH a trooper!! Below is the art that was produced from our session today! At the end you will find some funny out-takes that got us there! Again….THANK YOU HEATHER!
BEFORE THE MUD……
THE OUT-TAKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been so CRAZY busy lately that I haven’t posted any images in a while! SO- seeing as how I am devoid of any inspirational or humorous stories to relay, I have chosen to have a “visual” sunday morning coffee!! Feast your eyes on these fun images from the past few weeks! The newborn is a sneak peak and the rest of these images are some recent favorites. Enjoy!
