To create a piece of art you will treasure for a lifetime
We believe artwork should live in your home, not on a hard drive! As a full service portrait experience, we will start with the end in mind to create an heirloom piece of art for you to hand in a gallery collection, over your fire place, or in a hand-crafted album from Europe.

For people who just want
How far in advance should I schedule my portrait session?
I think that 3-4 weeks is a good amount of time to plan out the photo shoot details!
How will I know what to do during the photo shoot?
Don't worry! Your photo shoot is fully guided and posed. It's so awkward not knowing how to pose your hands or how to stand, but we have your back and will guide everything!
Where are you based and do you travel?
I'm based in Mandeville, Louisiana and yes I love to travel! If you want me to photograph your story, it will require a travel fee, depending on where it takes place. But no worries, I always try to find the cheapest way to get to you!
I am not sure what kind of location or style of shoot I want to create.
Your shoot is completely customized to create the look and feel that most authentically captures you. Your personality is unique and your photo shoot should showcase and tell your story. We will help guide you through the whole process!
Do you photograph men?
Absolutely! Men deserve a portrait experience to create images that capture who they are!
How much should I budget for my photoshoot?
The Bellus retainer booking fee is $390. Individual matted artwork starts at $150 and collections start at $1200. Some clients spend $500, some spend much more. What you buy is strictly up to you!
I SEEK WHAT LIES BENEATH SURFACE BEAUTY. WHAT INTERESTS ME ARE INTIMATE HUMAN COMPLEXITIES – THE DARKNESS AS WELL AS THE LIGHT. I CANNOT WILL THIS KIND OF TRANSCENDENT COMMUNICATION INTO EXISTENCE. I HAVE TO BE OPEN AND TRULY PRESENT, AND IF I AM LUCKY, GRACE DESCENDS. MY BEST PHOTOGRAPHS ARE AN HONEST COLLABORATION, AND WHEN THE VIEWER ALSO CONNECTS, I FEEL THE CIRCLE IS COMPLETE.
