Tonight….yup….TONIGHT, I shot this amazingly beautiful couple’s engagement shoot. We finished shooting when the sun went down and I have been editing like a maniac ever since! Being such an inspired and exciting shoot, I was well aware that I would not be able to sleep until I finished editing these. I went to Ty’s parents’ farm for the shoot. I knew that it was going to be unique because Sarah is severe fashionista and Ty is a rodeo cowboy [seriously]. I requested a horse and a barn and then I discovered a few other treasures on their property….such as an abandoned school bus and a unique body of water with an underwater patio. This is one of my favorite shoots to date and I am so excited to share it! ENJOY!!!


























One of my very best friends Heather and I met one year ago exactly….during her family shoot! To commemorate our friendship “anniversary” and to capture summer 09′ for her family, we did another shoot a few weeks ago. Because I am a self-proclaimed “changer” and I like to be unique, I am hunting out new locations…..the downtown is becoming a tad over-used!
So….I found the amazing little nook that I am SUPER excited about! Here is it’s debut! ENJOY!!











Hey everyone! A quick note to let everyone know that the new and improved website is LIVE!!! Check it out www.bellabambinophotography.com . Also, the Cotton Candy Cosmo Website Unveiling party last night was a HUGE success! The turnout was amazing and we booked SO many shoots and had so many people get to pull great prizes out of my fish bowl! The cosmos were fabulous [thanks cheri!] as was the catering by Macalister’s. I just want to say a special thank you to all of my clients who attended! It was a great night!! =) Enjoy the new site!!
So- am most of you know Bella Bambino’s Cotton Candy Cosmo NEW website launch party is tomorrow night!! [ 7pm at my studio- BE THERE!!] We decided that I needed some new sassy images to update my profile on the new site. Here are a few from the shoot. PS- Cheri, my fabulous business manager and photog in training shot them! THANKS CHERI!! =)






I cannot believe that my son is six! There is something about six that really makes me feel like he is a kid and no longer a baby. Anyway, today, we had a big pool party at our house. We had 12 kiddos and their parents and it was an absolute blast! I just thought I would share a few images from the day! ENJOY!





Some of my favorite images are of a child and his or her father and the relationship and bond that is so obvious. From time to time the Dads of my Bella Bambino clients make it to the shoot and get “shot” with their babies, but sometimes, they get left out! For all of the dads that didn’t make it to their kiddos’ shoot to get “shot”, or for the dads who did, but just want another fabulous fine-art image with their child, this evening has been designated for mini shoots of DAD AND BAMBINO! MOMS, since you will more then likely be the one’s booking, if you would love to have an image of your husband and your babies or would even like an image of you and your dad, this is the time to get it captured! The father’s day mini shoot will be scheduled every 15 minutes between 4 and 6pm on Sunday, June the 14th. As you can calculate, slots are limited, so call today to schedule your session if you are interested in booking! You will recieve a 15 minute fine-art mini relationship shoot {dad and kiddos only}, an online gallery of your choices (up to 5 images from which to choose) as well as an 1-8×10, 2- 5x7s and wallets of your chosen image or the image digitally with a copyright release!!! The cost for the mini session with those goodies is 150.00. To schedule with me in MO call 573.651.4408, To schedule with Candice in (WV, MD, VA) call 304.724.6555, To schedule with Stephanie in Nashville, call 615.810.9048 and to schedule with Jenn in Mobile, Alabama call 251.510.1708.
