"Bella, can I bring people to pose with me at my grad photos?" 🎓

This is the question that I am most frequently asked by my clients, and the answer is always YES! Shortly after, most people ask me if I charge extra / charge per how many people join them...

...Charging you for including the people who helped you get to this monumental moment is something that I will NEVER do. I have worked out the perfect method on how to invite extra people to pose with you at your photos, to still allow the photo session to be centered around you & making sure it stays true to the story that you have built during your time in school (these tips are sent in a packet I've built specifically for my grads!) ❤️🎓

Bring your partner! Bring your children! Bring your besties! Bring your parents! Bring your freshman year roomie! Bring your grandparents! Bring anyone that played a vital role in your support system to get you where you are now -- tell me ahead of your session, and we'll work together to make the perfect graduate session for you 🥰

the importance of capturing your beautiful family, in each stage of life 🩵

parents, you know how much your kids grow up quickly. the days are long, but the time goes by so fast. having family photos taken at least once per year gives not just you, but future generations of yours, the opportunity to reminisce on such a special time in life 🥰 taken in Coral Gables, Florida by @bybellamedia

we got some 'canes over here 🙌

grad season at the U never disappoints! it's the best opportunity for me to meet the newest batch of #canegrads, reminisce at my alma mater, get my steps in & document the best memories for these incredible people. UM gave me the most amazing four years & introduced me to the people that I consider family still to this day. this spring grad season was the busiest, yet the most rewarding, filled with such a kind, driven, gorgeous group of graduates 🎓

congratulations to each & every #canegrad that I am honored to have photographed this past spring -- Gabby, Olivia, Ella, Annabelle, Ashley, Ava, Brooke, Caroline, Kendall, Maggie, Mali, Sydney, Dhilan, John, Mike, Dave, Ellie, Ava, Naomi, Madison, Sydney, Blake, Jordan, Valery, Lela, Derby, Tru, Lyndsey, Abby, Lily, Morgan, Madison, Melissa, Morgan, Lindsay, Jessie, Erika, Emily, Nevaeh, Sachi & Lauren! 🧡💚 (but slide to the end to see a cameo from my fav grad, Daisy 🐾) (can't tag you all but #lygc)

half of him, half of her, full of endless love 🩷

working with couples again at different stages of their lives will always be what makes my job so special to me. years ago, I photographed the moment Luis proposed to Olivia. seeing them in this stage of life — their last few moments together as just them two, before their beautiful baby girl joined them for a lifetime of adventures — is an honor I can't put into words. being the photographer who stays with you is a privilege that I do not take for granted! to everyone who trusts me, thank you 🥹 now booking family sessions (because this is a chapter in life you deserve to look back on!!) taken in Key Biscayne, Florida by @bybellamedia

grad sessions at the gorgeous @nsuflorida never disappoint 🤩

I had such a fun time documenting these girlies as they completed their individual graduate school programs! they're just as intelligent, kind & successful as they are beautiful 💙 I'm so proud of them for documenting this major milestone that they each worked so hard for, and so grateful they trusted me to be the one to do so! congratulations on graduating, Maddie, Emily, Olivia & Danielle! 🎓🥳 taken in Nova Southeastern University by @bybellamedia

when two become three 💚

this session is one that I will always, always remember. I've been photographing Patricia and Francesco (both individually, and as a couple) since we were in college at the University of Miami together 🙌 Patty was my first friend in both organizations that I got really involved with, and Francesco was my first unit leader at Kesem when I was a counselor. since we graduated, I drove to Orlando twice to take their engagement photos and then medical school graduation photos. after all of these years, I'm truly humbled & blessed to have been flown to Michigan, where they currently are building their family together, to document this sweetest chapter yet for them 🥰 (also they are so obsessed with each other & so deeply in love, I felt like I was photographing options for a romance book cover 🤩). congratulations on becoming parents, my sweet friends -- I can't wait to meet your baby girl in the fall!! 🥰 taken in Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum by @bybellamedia
