One of the most common questions I get as a photographer is: “Where should we do our session?”
The truth is, choosing the right location is just as important as picking your outfit – it sets the tone, mood, and overall style of your photos.

That’s why I’m so excited to share that I now have a complete, easy-to-use Location Guide for both Columbia, SC and Charleston, SC!

What’s in the Location Guide?

My Location Guide is a curated collection of my favorite spots, ranging from charming downtown streets and hidden gardens to open fields, waterfront views, and colorful historic neighborhoods. Each location comes with:

• Updated photos from sessions I’ve shot there
• A short description of the vibe you can expect
• Seasonal notes so you know what it looks like year-round

Whether you want something romantic and timeless, bright and colorful, or cozy and natural, this guide makes it simple to visualize your session and find the perfect match.

Constantly Updated for Fresh Inspiration

I’m always exploring and photographing new places, so the guide is constantly growing. If I discover a dreamy flower field in Columbia or a quiet, tucked-away alley in Charleston, you can bet it’ll be added to the guide complete with fresh examples from real sessions.

How It Helps You as a Client

No more scrolling through endless Google searches or second-guessing your location choice. With my Location Guide, you’ll:

• See exactly what your photos could look like
• Feel confident in your decision
• Save time planning your session
• Have inspiration for outfit choices that work beautifully with the scenery

Your only job? Pick the spot that makes you feel most you, I’ll take care of the rest.

Hey y’all! I’m Bella, your go-to southern sweetheart with a camera in hand and a heart full of passion for storytelling. Whether you’re newly engaged, celebrating a milestone, or just want to feel beautiful in front of the lens, I’m here to capture the magic in your moment.

I started Bella’s Visions with one goal in mind: to create photos that don’t just look good, they feel good and capture moments in time. I believe in storytelling that’s authentic, soulful, and sometimes a little bit sassy (I am from South Carolina, after all!). Over the years, I’ve had the joy of photographing lovebirds in Charleston, graduates stepping into new seasons, families growing by two tiny feet, and bold creatives launching their dream brands.

But my work is more than pretty pictures. It’s about preserving feelings, those tearful proposal smiles, the quiet in-between glances, the loud laughs, and soft touches. It’s about helping you see how beautiful your real moments are.

This blog will be a space where I share behind-the-scenes peeks, client stories, helpful tips for getting the most out of your session, travel adventures (because yes, I do travel!), and maybe even a few personal reflections. My hope is that this space becomes just another way we connect, before, during, or after your shoot.

So whether you’re here to find inspiration, learn more about my process, or just support a woman chasing her dream, thank you. I’m so grateful you’re a part of this journey.

With love,
Bella
