It's Wedding Booking Season!

Congratulations to all those who got engaged over the holidays! Even though it's cold and snowy out, it's time to start making plans!

Bella Vie attended the Midlane Bridal Show last month and met many brides and grooms who came out - some even with bridal party or family members in tow! It was fun to talk about all of the wedding details they are considering and I appreciate the opportunity to meet so many wonderful couples!

If you know of anyone planning a wedding, please have them give me a call! I would love to talk to them about their ideas for their special day!

To close, I'd love to share some of my favorite images from last summer's weddings. I have so many - I might need to create a few more posts down the road to share more!

Happy Wedding Season and here's to a quick spring!

This day was so, so, so cold and these two amazing kids were real troopers for hanging in there! The fall color is so beautiful and so were they. It's rare to meet siblings who really get along well and these two were awesome! They are truly wonderful kids both inside and out. Thanks Cole and Mallory! :o)

Fall cuties!

I just had to share a couple of quick images from a session last weekend. The weather was perfect, the leaves were amazing and the kids were so much fun! Look how sweet these cutie patooties are! Do you think they'll get along this well as teenagers?!?! :o)

Another day designing! I seriously could spend every day playing with the images I take! :o)

I completed another Storybook today! I was fortunate to spend an afternoon with Annie and Pride, her horse back when the weather was actually nice! Her parents have asked me to design this book as a present for her birthday that's coming up! How cool will that be to get a book of you and your horse?!?! I hope she likes it....

Here are a few of my favorite pages!

Enjoy!

So I had to share a couple of my favorite images from this session! These siblings were very fun and so, so cute! We kept having to reschedule our session because of the weather and finally on the fourth try we got a beautiful day!

Haley's session

I really enjoyed photographing Haley this past weekend in downtown Barrington! She is an aspiring clothing designer and actually made some of her own outfits! Even though it was a little chilly and it actually started to rain at the end, we had a great time finding all kinds of neat spots to take her photographs! And we left the ladies at the coffee shop wondering what we were up to with all of our trips in for wardrobe changes!

Thanks Haley!

New Holiday Card Designs

It's not too late to have a portrait done for Holiday cards this year! I had a little fun this week creating some new card designs..... Any design can be customized with images of your children or family! And there are lots of options for verses and text! When's the last time you sent out a photo card? And don't you just love it when your friends send one?

Check out all the designs on the website - www.bellaviestudio.com

Happy Friday!
