Bella Life

Real Life. Real Pictures.

At Bella Life, we celebrate all the moments that make your story special. Whether it’s capturing milestones, preserving everyday moments, or documenting your six-year-old’s toothless grin, we’re here to help you freeze these memories in time.

Our professional photographers come to you—creating a comfortable, relaxed environment where your family can be themselves. Using natural light and a photojournalistic approach, we focus on capturing genuine emotions and connections.

We offer a wide range of sessions tailored to your needs: maternity shoots, newborn sessions at home (where siblings can be comfortable), family celebrations, cake smashes, personality-filled graduation portraits, or simple family portraits.

Your input is always welcome! Props and personal touches create the best photos. And if you’re feeling stuck for ideas, don’t worry—our skilled photographers bring plenty of creativity and inspiration to make your session effortless and fun.

Bella Life is more than photography. It’s about capturing the real moments that define you and your family. Let us help you tell your story, one photo at a time.

As parents you want to savor any moment you can when you bring a new life into the world and because of Bella Life Photography we can relive those moments again and again. We were so impressed with the pictures that we continued to work with Tara through Bella Life, marking each milestone: 3, 6, 9 & 12 months. We couldn't be more grateful that Bella Life has allowed us to keep some of the biggest moments of our lives forever in a few timeless snapshots.

The best part of this experience has been working with our photographer. She has gotten to know us through each of our sessions and has a great eye for creating beautiful moments in photographs. Our experiences in each session have been so smooth, or as smoothly as it can be with a young child! The process of putting together print packages has been so fun. She has excellent suggestions and we've been thrilled with the results every time! We're already planning sessions for year two!

What are your packages?

We offer a variety of package options to suit your needs. One of our most popular choices is the Milestone Package, which includes four sessions at a discounted rate. You can use these sessions within two years, either at your home or a local park. This package is perfect for families with young children, as it captures the most noticeable changes in their growth, with common sessions at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.

We also offer the Bella Bloom package, two sessions designed to capture beautiful moments in your family’s journey. In addition, families can book individual sessions at any time.

For a quicker alternative to a traditional shoot, our semi-annual Pictures in the Park events offer shorter sessions at local parks. These popular sessions fill up fast, so be sure to act quickly when new dates are announced!

How many images will be in my gallery?

A full session includes approximately 35 images in your gallery, while a mini session typically contains 15 images.

How do I prepare for my session?

You don’t need to make any special arrangements to your home for your photoshoot. Our photographers are skilled at finding the best settings and can identify great spots in any home.

We recommend scheduling newborn sessions within the first two weeks of life to capture this special time. Contact us before delivery and we’ll have a photographer “on-call,” ready for your little one’s arrival. A well-fed and changed baby makes for the most beautiful photos, but we understand if we need to pause for a feeding or a diaper change. The same goes for older kids (and adults!); a rested and content subject always looks their best.

We welcome any props that help showcase your child’s personality and enhance the photos. We want the real you to shine through. Feel free to share any ideas with us before your session—we love your input!

What should we wear?

Dress up or dress down. You should wear whatever represents you. We recommend staying away from clothing with text, characters or images. Jewelry/accessories are fine as long as they aren’t distracting. For group photos, try to coordinate your clothes, but not necessarily match.

Are the digital images included?

Digital images are included in our stand-alone and Diamond Plus sessions, but they are not included in our Milestone, Bloom, and Diamond packages.

Who can participate in the session?

Immediate family members can participate in the session, up to a maximum of 6 people. Additional relatives (grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.) can join for $25 per person.

How long is a session?

A typical session lasts 45-50 minutes, but you can book as little as 30 minutes or several hours for parties or events. We tailor each session to your needs and work with you to allocate the perfect amount of time.

Can pets be included?

Yes, pets can be included if your chosen outdoor location allows them. If possible, we suggest bringing a friend or family member (who won’t be in the photoshoot) to help handle your pet.
