BIG NEWS!!!! BIG NEWS!!!! BIG NEWS!!!!

There comes a time in your life when you are asked to take a giant leap of faith. And you always have two options: Run the other way screaming wildly or jump freely hoping you'll gain your wings.

I started Mia Bella Photography over two years ago never imagining where it would lead me to today. I have grown as a person, a photographer, and a businesswoman.

Several months ago I was asked to meet with a young woman, a very talented photographer whom I admired. I couldn’t imagine what she could possibly want from me. She has created a powerhouse photography business and is at the very top in popularity for Louisville high school senior girls. With a gorgeous boutique studio, full hair and makeup experience before each photo shoot coupled with high end fashion and expertise in lighting and direction, Geni Bean of Pink Owl Photography is the best in Louisville. Little did I know she would quickly become my friend and offer me an unimaginable opportunity.

It was during this first meeting that changed EVERYTHING.

Geni told me she was moving to North Carolina and is expanding Pink Owl Photography to the Raleigh/Durham area. When I asked her what would happen to the Louisville studio, she replied…

“I am hoping you will take it over.” Um…I’m sorry, WHAT? So apparently not only had I been admiring her work, but she had been admiring mine as well. And out of this entire city, she chose me. Amazing.

So with much prayer, research, planning, meetings, training, more prayer, and deciding "I can't do this!" only to be met with the encouraging words of my husband, “Yes, you CAN!” and feeling God's peace that finally a leap of faith decision was made...

I am now the new photographer for Pink Owl Photography in Louisville!  This means a studio, hair and makeup artists and a fabulous clientele of high school senior girls! I am so very excited to be teaming with Geni to expand Pink Owl Photography.

Now, what does this mean for Mia Bella? My biggest concern upon taking this new position with Pink Owl is that Mia Bella must continue. My greatest love apart from my high school girls is the complete opposite end of the spectrum photographing those sweet and precious first days of a little one's life.

In order to grow, one must change, so Mia Bella will now be exclusively for Newborn Photography! A complete rebranding is taking place and will launch in January of 2014 designed to offer boutique style photography in the new parents’ home. And I’m so excited for wonderful new things to offer our new parents with Mia Bella!

It has been an absolute joy to photograph your children, your families and even some pets during the last two years and I thank you for your support along the way!

I am truly honored and excited for this new venture for both Pink Owl and Mia Bella Photography and I humbly ask you to please continue to join me along this new journey. For as I have learned with everything else that God has planned for my life, this next part is bound to be extraordinary.
