Hi, I’m Bella!

I am a Santa Barbara based photographer, where the slow lifestyle and natural elements heavily influence my eye. The green springs, floral summers, and moody gray seasons continually bring refreshing perspectives. Where I seem to find most of my inspiration isn’t exclusive to a place, but it is telling the special story of love within couples and the unique spirit within individuals. I want these photos to feel nostalgic and cinematic because all love stories deserve to feel like a movie.

I specialize in film photography because the analog process captures moments in such a unique and authentic way. Each photo is one-of-a-kind, and even if that means I capture an ugly cry or your “tipsy” aunt, it’s a memory that is priceless.

When photos are able to bridge careful curation and candid creation, that’s what it means to relive the moment. Film photography captures both of these simultaneously, which I find so special.

Aside from working, I spend my time outdoors, camping with friends, and exploring new creative outlets. I have recently loved the process of screen printing and ceramics, and hope to dip my toes into more graphic design.
