brand new bambino [nicolette]….

Posted on 2.28.2009


A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of shooting one of the most beautiful little 6 day olds I have ever seen! =) She was absolutely teeny weeny (5lbs 14oz, I think when she visited me) with a full head of dark locks! I had shot her georgeous mom’s maternity shortly before she arrived! Her parents were the coolest people to work with and we had a blast the 3 hours that we spent together! ENJOY!!

The first two are obviously before the baby arrived!

Introducing….My NOTRE DAME Senior Rep…KATE

Posted on 2.24.2009


I just started my Senior Rep program and have chosen at least 2 from each of the area highschools! I shot the beautiful Kate on-location at a grundy broken down warehouse. This senior photographed like a dream and produced the exact images I had imagined at this unique location! For all seniors and juniors checking out this post- don’t forget about the SR/JR Bella Couture Launch Party at the Bella Bambino Studio on Friday Night, March 6th at 7pm! Bring friends! Also, I am in need of more 2010 Senior Reps, so if anyone is interested, call the studio 573.651.4408. Also, join my facebook group BELLA COUTURE SENIORS!

deluca….the portfolio- take 2

Posted on 2.23.2009


Mr. DeLuca was another great sport for our urban photoshoot!  He was the second of my LA portfolio additives! Pete is the drummer of an amazing local band THE INTENTION- whom I will be shooting in March! I will also be shooting his beautiful little girls in March as well. This was Pete’s “modeling” debut- and I think he did a fabulous job! THANKS AGAIN! ENJOY.

vollink….and my LA portfolio…

Posted on 2.22.2009


I am off to LA in a few days!! I am so excited about shooting an AMAZING celebrity DJ as well as meeting with some major PR people and the head of the Gersh Agency! My portfolio is full of babies, kids and seniors….even a few weddings sprinkled in….but I was completely devoid of any men that could emmulate “actors”. Since I have all of these meetings set up… I desperately needed a few MALE models that could pass for actors. Well….I recruited two- One of which I hope to unveil at a later time! =) Regardless, here is the first….Mr. Volink- a wonderful sport and perfect model!  His face is just sculpured enough….and his wardrobe just eclectic enough to make a fine portfolio! THANKS AGAIN!!! ENJOY.

  I have been shooting seniors for some time now and have decided over the past year to create a separate brand for seniors. The style in which I shoot seniors is edgy, high-fashion and unique. My signature is to intertwine the beauty of the senior with the unique characteristics of the environment. The product of the shoot is fine-art with an urban, contemporary flare! I am officially unveiling the BELLA COUTURE [seniors] brand with a bang!! Join me at the BELLA BAMBINO LOFT STUDIO at the LAUCH PARTY! This party is for 2009 and 2010 seniors…..and anyone else who would like to attend! =) This party will be  a night filled with music and refreshments and socializing with friends as well as CRAZY deals and drawings and a GRAND PRIZE for the senior or junior that brings the most friends! It is also a great time to check out the fine-art senior portraiture of BELLA COUTURE. Check out all of the details of the party and MODEL CALL above on the promo!

Now THIS is a newborn shoot….

Posted on 2.1.2009


I have worked with these clients numerous times before…so….we have bonded.  Needless to say, when I showed up at their home today (mom had a c-section and couldn’t walk up my loft stairs), I had some ideas! Since I felt like I could experiment with their new little guy, Jake (6 days old), we went out on a limb and tried some different things! I loved every minute of this shoot. Sometimes a shoot turns out exactly as we plan…..this is one of those shoots! ENJOY…..ps- this is why I like shooting babies under 14 days old…..they stay asleep through it all!!!
