Bella

It’s been 2 1/2 years now that I’ve been a client’s of Lynda’s. The faith of my hair color is in her magic hands. One day, I’ll embrace the grey, but not just yet. My visits are frequent (stubborn whites oblige!), but it’s always a pleasure to visit with Lynda. After 7 weeks in France, I’m always anxious to sit back in her chair. This past summer, I walked into the familiar saloon to see Lynda cradling a precious newborn girl. In the space of a few weeks, she and her husband, had been offered the wonderful opportunity to adopt Isabella. A very unexpected event, with hardly any time to prepare for this special arrival in their family, it’s as if they had been waiting for her all along. Bella’s big brother is a champion helper, and Lynda is in love with her daughter.
At 7 months, she’s precocious, beautiful and such a happy baby.

    Arielle, where do I begin? I have always been a huge fan of your pictures and would randomly just browse your website just to look at your most recent work, so when you suggested we do Isabella pictures I was obviously thrilled. I never imagined how wonderful the whole experience would be. I know we are friends and one would assume that would make the photo shoot easy for me, however the fact that you were able to make Isabella feel so at ease and allow her to "do her own thing" was very comforting for me. I was amazed how you got on the floor with her and just chased her around your studio snapping away at all she was doing. You seemed to enjoy it as much as she did!! All of your pictures are beautiful, but as a mother when you see your own child's pictures it is truly amazing how you were are able to capture not only how adorable she is on the outside but also her sweet personality on the inside!! There are not words to honestly tell you how grateful we are to have this time in her life captured in these beautiful pictures. Out of all the pictures I looked at there was not one I didn't like. That is very unusual!! I only have one regret and that is that I didn't do them sooner!! And I only have one dilemma......which pictures do I get in what size and where do I hang them all!! I am looking forward to many more opportunities to have not only Isabella pictures taken but Jonathon's as well. Thank you so much for the perfect experience and these wonderful memories of my sweet little girl!! I am forever grateful!!

    Wow! When Lynda told me that you had taken pictures of Isabella, I knew they were going to be beautiful by the way she talked but I never imagined just how beautiful. These are truly amazing! I love each and every one of them. I'm not quite sure how Lynda and Jon will ever chose which ones to get! You did an outstanding job!
