Big Life Changes....

Hello lovelies!!! Well I still have a ton of sessions to get on the blog but I wanted to take a moment and bring you up to date on what's to come with MB Bella Photography.  After 6 years of living in beautiful Arizona we will be leaving and moving back to PA. This is a HUGE change and will be a HUGE adjustment for our family, especially me. I haven't lived in PA for 17 years so getting ready to face major climate changes is very daunting.

I have such a heavy heart right now. Arizona has become home. I have some of the CLOSEST friends I have had since high school and I CAN NOT IMAGINE LEAVING THEM. They have been here for me and my children through the last 6 years. They have become more like family than friends. I am soooo grateful for all the love and support they have given me and my photography. This last year has been unbelievably AMAZING for my photography and I owe it all to my friends and clients who have spread the word. The memories I will take from our time here in Arizona I will cherish forever. I will DEFINITELY be making trips back and when I do.....Yepper...I WILL be doing sessions!!! ;)

Although the move is big and scary the positives outweigh the negatives. We will be an hour and a half from my parents, which of course, put the grandparents OVER THE MOON! My sister and her new hubby will also only be an hour and a half and I see babies in their future which gives me a BIG smile and LOTS of photo shoots!!!! ;)  Another happy is my best friend from when I was 14 years old, who lived in Florida with us for 5 years and then transferred back to PA, will only be a HALF hour from me !!!! Seriously it's crazy how life changes in a second. So even though I will be a sobbing mess and have been off and on for weeks now, there are good things to come and life is a gamble and we are willing to make this gamble to change the quality of life for our family.

I am heartbroken that my photography has done sooooo well here and now I am leaving, but I am thinking positive that good things will come my way in PA. As soon as I get there I am going to focus on photography 100% and my kids are thrilled to have me home with them again. If anyone  is interested in sessions when I get there or you know of anyone needing family, newborn etc sessions, PULEEZE, PLEASE pass my name along.  I will keep you posted on our move and when we get there. Until then I am enjoying time with the kiddos and all of our friends, cleaning out this house and getting ready for a big life change!

Thank you for all sticking by us I will MISS these girls more than they will EVER know.....XO

There's Something About Old Friends!!

So I looked at the date and yep, it has been a couple weeks since I have managed to get on here and post some updated shoots. Life is crazy as I'm sure everyone else's is as well! It's hard to believe how quickly this year has flown by and that seriously....TOMORROW is Thanksgiving!!! I absolutely love this time of year and am thoroughly enjoying it this year even more with how busy I am with my business. I've met so many great families and I love to see the end product when I am done with a session. I can't promise I will be good at getting on here too much in the next couple weeks but I will. definitely. try!!! So with out further delay....here is another lovely lady I met at my new job.

She had asked me if I would do photos of her and her family....and this is the coolest thing....her best friend and her family who were visiting from out of state. They have all been best friends for 20+ years and I totally LOVE that because I have my best friend from childhood who I am still SUPER DUPER close with. (hint hint...Amie I would LOVE a shoot with me and you!!! LOL) They were all soooo much fun but I expected nothing less because she keeps me LAUGHING all day at work!!! Thanks Natalia and gang for an awesome fun time!!!!  XO










My FAV!!! <3

Sunset Sari Beauty!!!

I have been soooo seriously EXCITED to post this session!!!! Prusha contacted me last minute right when she had her henna done and wanted to schedule something right away. It was tricky fitting her in because I literally have NO available spots left but we made it work. Especially when she told me what the shoot would entail. I was totally game for a 'new type' of shoot and could NOT wait to see how she looked!

This lady did NOT disappoint! She was STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS!!! From her hair, to her make up to her beautiful sari....I swear my heart was doing a happy dance inside my chest! I am in no way a perfect photographer and I'm sure there are tons of people who don't like my work, but this shoot made me smile from the inside out. I am thrilled with how they turned out and so was she!!! What more could a girl ask for??!!!

Soooo be ready....this is even more PHOTO HEAVY than usual!!!! (that was your warning!) Thank you Prusha for this awesome opportunity!!!! Can't wait to do our next shoot!!! xo
