THERE IS NEVER ENOUGH TIME TO ENJOY WHAT YOU LOVE
I photograph people. My gift is the ability to see you as you are and to adapt my art to fit your needs. I will give you and your child permission to be free. I want you to laugh loudly, to run to unexplored lands, to take time for a story, to look at a flower, or to throw a rock into a pond. I'm there to capture the real, the authentic, the everyday of your family.
By blending art with reality, I'm able to craft a story of our time together so that you'll have this memory forever. Your family's photos will be on your walls or in an heirloom album long after the days you've stopped combing your child's hair every night and when they no longer request storytime. My photos serve as a timeless keepsake so you can remember your child at every stage and milestone. Let me document your life with your family.

To me, a beautiful photograph has two main elements: the light and the subject. My job is to make you shine. I will guide you to beautiful light. I will suggest sumptuous, edgy or simple locations depending on your personality. And I promise to photograph you in a beautiful yet honest way.
Whether a branding headshot, a family or maternity portrait, or a life event like a wedding, I approach every session the same way. I will always gently guide you with my understanding of the body and light.
Your photos should be a reflection of your style, your personality and capture the essence of who you are today. I always include digital images in your package.
Sessions can take place at your location of choice, your campus if allowed or in my South End Studio in Downtown Crossing.
Known for my modern take on photography, my work has been published in numerous magazines and websites, including Martha Stewart and Boston Magazine.
And now I proudly bring you Studio Sessions in my new Downtown Crossing Boston location.
Maternity, motherhood, branding, headshots, fashion and more.
Experience

My photography style is timeless. I preserve colour, depth, and style in my edited work. Through the introduction of light and movement, I am able to elevate my photography above the traditional and expected. Every photo I create is framed and composed in a deliberate way to highlight time, place and emotion.
I will be your guide to help with outfit design, and location choice. I believe that everything should be cohesive to have that polished look you see in my portfolio. I provide that assistance if you need it.
I believe strongly in preparation and communication. By the time we meet, you will feel the comfort in knowing you have been heard before I even click my shutter.
I want you to be unapologetically you. Allow me to bring your wedding dreams to life by giving you photos you can be proud of for years to come because of their true to life colours.
I take things up a level by introducing unexpected composition and creative lighting to elevate your wedding photos to a cinematic level.
I believe that every person and family is unique. It's my job to make sure that spirit is captured in your photos. From the wardrobe styling, to the location choice and even how you move and connect with one another will inspire me. All of these details reinforce one another to tell the full picture of your story at this moment. Intention drives each of my family sessions.

"Bella did a phenomenal job with the baby, but best of all with my jaded/photographer-kid-syndrome older two (who were not-quite 3 and not quite 6 at the time). I printed an album from the images I got from our session and I will treasure it forever. She got truly amazing portraits of our family!"
— Mira, mom of 3 and family photographer

Everyone always wonders where their family, maternity or newborn session should take place. I'm here to guide you.

You've undoubtedly have heard of "golden hour". I explain in detail as to why light is everything and allows me to create the images I'm known for.

I send out a questionnaire to get to know your family's likes and dislikes. Each family dynamic is different. Every personality is unique. I don't force people into a mold. So many factors like how good your kids are in the car and any fears of dogs will come into play when choosing a location besides the obvious "architecture vs nature" discussion.
From your questionnaire I can guide you toward a location that would work. I also send an outfit planning tool with your booking. The tool will guide you according to your style preference. I'll get you into the correct frame of mind when approaching the session so you know that it's OK to not look at the camera and that you have the permission to relax and just have fun.
Even with the best laid plans, things won't be 'perfect'. I book only one session per sunset, midday and sunrise so I can adapt to the light, your child's nap schedule and I allow time for breaks if anyone needs one. This keeps my sessions relaxed, laid-back and successful. The reason why you hire a professional is so that when things inevitably go wrong, you will be guided back on track.

Known for my modern take on lifestyle newborn photography at home, my work has been published in numerous magazines and websites, including Martha Stewart and Boston Magazine.
My goal is to understand your style, the lighting of your home and your connection to one another in that space.
Every family & home has a story to tell. Let me be that voice.
my keepsake offering
In order to create my imagery, I need the time and space to get to know you and for your family to warm up to me. Signature Sessions provide that opportunity. People have been conditioned to 'cheese-smile' at me so it takes a while for them to drop their guard and just relax.
