Bella's shoot with flowers & music

When we were planning her photoshoot Bella mentioned to me that she would love to incorporate flowers.  This presented a bit of a challenge, given that it was early November, but I suggested that we start out at Alden Lane Nursery because they pretty much always have something in bloom.  I love shooting at Alden Lane; the people there are *so nice.*  They always tell me that I'm free to move anything around for the shot, and go out their way to accommodate photography.  Sure enough, for Bella's photoshoot they had plenty of flowers and were crazy nice, as always.  

This trimester Bella is taking a sci fi lit class where they not only get to read the Hobbit but also get to watch all the Star Wars movies. "It must be really hard to get into that class!" I exclaimed.  "I mean, wouldn't everybody want to take it?"  But she said she just signed up for it, no problem.   One of her other classes is an internship at Kaiser, which sounds pretty perfect since she intends to major in nursing at Ole Miss.

After a bit at Alden Lane we headed over to Shadow Cliffs to catch the sunset.

Between her four classes she's done with school at 2pm (sweet!).  But Bella's still pretty busy; she works at Bent Creek Winery helping out with the back room stuff and she also leads a bible study group for 7th grade girls at Cornerstone Fellowship.  ​

During her free time Bella plays the guitar and and enjoys reading and writing poetry.  I'm so happy that she brought her guitar to her photoshoot-- I feel like the images of her playing really capture the heart of who she is.

I'm so excited to see you in the spring, Bella, with all of your Ole Miss stuff for your mini shoot! It's going to be a ton of fun!
