Bella Atelier

Last one! I could not add this to my previous post.... This is my gorgeous Sister - and I celebrate the fact that this was my LAST shoot I have done - This day will forever be a very special memory! With a sad heart but excitement for the future I greet you!

I have always loved being creative - and I loved photography - but I have also always been my own harshest critic - with a crippling fear of failure and a little voice telling me "you are not good enough" keeping me from pursuing things further... and this has happened for years (and battling some health issues aswell).

I have always thought that my work is not good enough, that people wont pay for it, that I don't have a studio so I cannot charge people for my service - So I did free shoots... a lot of free shoots - and then I never had the courage to post the results.

This year has given me a new outlook on life - and I am ready to tackle new challenges - and embrace new opportunities - I therefore have to hang up my "photography badge" and pursue a new dream.

To everyone who has supported me in this journey: Thank you! To every bride and groom that I have had the privilege to photograph over the past 10 Years - Thank you! You have brought me so much joy and I think back on every single wedding with fondness.

I dont' know if I will ever pursue photography again - like they say - Never say never... but for now this chapter is closed.

I bid you all a farewell on the photography front!

So with this - herewith some of my last work I did and was never brave enough to share...

Come take my hand and walk through this world with me....

Let's Get Lost in Dreams Together

He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside still waters,
He restores my soul...

Psalm 23:2-3

Who is this woman?
She seems to shine like the dawn.
She seems as beautiful as the moon.
She seems as bright as the sun.
She is as wonderful as the stars.

Song of Songs 6:10

you are my flower
you are my first blossom
blossoming love
you are my love
you are my first and true
like sunset ocean blue
you are my beautiful flower
I am glad I picked you

“I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.”

I feel honoured when a venue uses one of your photo's on their promotion... just wish they would credit the photographer.... that would be even nicer.....

I love my Job! It is so encouraging when a bride compliments you before even receiving their pictures:
