Mark and April, Engagement Session Knoxville TN, Noelle Bell Photography

Back in January, my friend Mark Brooks contacted me to let me know he was getting married in June.  He and his fiance wanted to talk about having me cover the wedding photography.  We set up a time to meet, and I began coming down with a cold the night they came, but they said it was okay.  My head was foggy and I wasn’t even sure if I shared everything once, twice or if it all made sense, but they called me back a few weeks later to discuss the details and tell me that they wanted me to cover both their wedding day and rehearsal dinner.  I love getting to spend time with the couples with whom I have the privilege of photographing their wedding.  It has been wonderful getting to know April and Mark and their love for animals, a common thread as we both have cats!

April has been a joy getting to know.  She has often asked for my professional opinion and that means the world to me when a client allows me to speak into and share advice on what to do for their day or in the planning stages of the wedding.  Another thing I love is that she has an amazing smile, and when she and Mark get to laughing, it’s the best thing to watch.  Her favorite kind of chocolate is also the same as mine – dark chocolate, so I surprised her with a box of her favorites from Godiva at the engagement session.    I even got a sneak peek at her GORGEOUS wedding dress and well all I have to say is she is going to look STUNNING!

This past weekend, just a few weeks prior to the wedding, I captured their engagement pictures.  The weather cooperated and the late afternoon/evening hours were gorgeous.  We met up at Remedy Coffee in the old city in downtown Knoxville.  It’s one of my favorite coffee shops and they have a loft that you can rent for an hourly rate.  So not only did I get to have my favorite Hazelnut latte, the best in Knoxville for sure, but we got to relax in the quiet of the loft while Natalie did April’s hair and makeup for the session and I took pictures of the amazing engagement ring!  (You did good Mark!)  We came back there after the first location shoot so they could change, we could all get something to drink and enjoy some air-conditioning and redo some of the front curls in April’s hair, as the dampness in the air had taken out some of the curl.  We wound up with some amazing shots, even if we did all get a tiny bit hungry.  (Sorry Mark!)

Here is a collage of images that I put together of my favorite pictures from the session.  I may even order a canvas of this for the studio I like it so much!

So with only about 2 1/2 weeks until their wedding, Mark and April I can’t wait to share the special day with you and create some amazing memories that will last you a lifetime.  Just remember if you start to get stressed in the coming weeks, have one of those amazing truffels!

No matter when in life you find your special ONE, always take time to capture the memories!

Madison Ivey Clinton High School 2014 Senior Spokesmodel, Noelle Bell Photography

This spring I began the search for girls and guys that wanted to represent Noelle Bell Photography and one of my 2013 Senior Spokesmodels gave me a great referral in the form of Madison Ivey who is a 2014 senior at Clinton High School.  She is a dancer, she sings and dances at Clinton High School, she’s super petite, is afraid of heights, has an infectious laugh and a beautiful smile.  So what’s not to love there!  :)

Madison and her mom came to hear about the rep program and since Madison had already had some fun helping me with a fun shoot downtown (you can see more images from that post here) they were ready to join the team!!  The first thing we did was to schedule Madison’s senior spokesmodel shoot and that was soooooooo much fun!  I think we could have photographed until the sun went down but we finally called it a day.  Here are some images from Madison’s shoot where I captured some of her dance outfits.

And here are some fun images we did at the end.  I love this close up of her by the stairs.  This one is probably one of my favorites, and shows off Madison’s amazing smile!

 And the last ones were just fun!

Bohemian Styled Shoot, Noelle Bell Photography Senior Portrait Styled Shoot

In early March Noelle Bell Photography collaborated and put together a styled shoot with a Bohemian theme.  I wanted to capture images of two or three girls and I was looking for a magazine spread feel to the shoot.  I contacted one of my HAMU artists, Suzie of Suzanne Clayton Makeup Artist, and we began running with the idea and the themes, outfits, looks, hairpieces, etc.  Suzie’s daughter, Caitlin, was one of my senior spokesmodel’s last year and so she was the perfect fit for the shoot.  I asked another one of my seniors whom I photographed last year to be a part of the shoot, Katie Ray a senior from Halls High School, and she also joined in.  Then a new friend who is a senior at CAK, Lauren Love, also joined the shoot for awhile as well.

I had located the perfect setting, as I wanted a fair amount of deadness and vines in the shoot, so we went to the Mabry-Hazen house in downtown Knoxville for the location.  The only thing that didn’t cooperate was the sun!  It went behind the clouds, so instead of having a nice sun-flare feel to the images and warmth we had to fill it with the flash and no flare was to be found.  Otherwise, the shoot went off wonderfully!

Caitlin got dolled up with some airbrush makeup and we started with her first dress getting some individual shots.  That allowed Katie to get her outfit chosen and her makeup and hair done so she could join in later.

Once we got Katie in some individual shots, the girls quickly became friends as I had them pose together and they had a good time.

And here are some of Katie by herself!  Loved the feathers for an accessory for her outfit.  It went perfectly!

About that time, Lauren showed up and got her makeup done and then she joined in on the fun for some group shots.

Then the girls got brave and climbed in a tree for me!  I was laughing so hard as it wasn’t that far off the ground but one of them had us in stitches until all three were up there and she had other people to hold on to.  I was such a monkey when I was a kid, and heights don’t bother me, so I don’t often think of asking about heights to a senior or a model, but I prominse they were only about 4′ off the ground.   I really loved the images we captured from this setting.

We finished up with one or two images as it was getting dark, but you can barely see the lights of the town, so we called it a night!

It was a lot of fun, and I gifted the girls with an APP on their phone of the images from the shoot.  The APP is included in all of my senior collections here at Noelle Bell Photography.

Tori Brummette Halls High School, Class of 2013 Senior Spokesmodel, Noelle Bell Photography

Tori was one of Noelle Bell Photography’s 2013 Senior Spokesmodels from Halls High School and we had a blast taking her senior pictures.  We had some fun wandering around downtown Knoxville as well as taking some of the images here in the studio in west Knoxville.  I really enjoyed working with Tori who has the best smile as well as a great laugh.

Here are some of the images we captured at her shoot downtown in the old city in Knoxville.  Her favorite dress, favorite outfit and some close ups were all in the mix.

These first two are of her in her favorite dresses in the back of one of my favorite coffee shops, Remedy Coffee.  They have the best hazelnut latte around!  (If you are a coffee junkie like me, check them out)

Tori has some amazing blue eyes, so we used the walls of the area downtown to really highlight them.

And I love a classic black and white image.Then we headed up to the bridge to capture a few images in one of Tori’s favorite shirts.  The sky afforded us a beautiful sunset for this image.

These final images were taken here at the studio of Noelle Bell Photography in west Knoxville, and they are some striking images of Tori. She is a very beautiful young lady who is about to graduate and head off to college in the fall.  It seems not that long ago that I was capturing images at her sweet 16 birthday party, which is how I met Tori, through her friend’s mom Mayra who owns InFlight Ideas.

Stay tuned as Tori opted for a fun Facebook party with her good friend Lindsay Holt, who is now one of my 2014 Senior Spokesmodels for Noelle Bell Photography.  I will be posting images from that shoot shortly.
