Who We Are:

Experienced photographers, self-starters constantly sharpening their skills, small business owners, students, parents, former nurses, people looking to get their ‘baby fix', you name it. 

We have people from so many different backgrounds all working together towards a common goal - to create beautiful newborn portraits. 

Who You Are:

Creative, self-motivated, and engaging problem solver who is willing to grow! 

Also, someone who loves to collaborate, share tips, and encourage their coworkers.

A Bella Baby Photographer is someone with great time management skills, but is also patient and understanding - our newborn clients aren't known for following directions very well. 

If you fit that description, don't let this opportunity pass you by!
