Heidi Bell Photography 1.39

After growing up with a brilliant father who, through his inspiration and tutelage, instilled in me a love for photographic art at a young age, I have worked in many facets of the industry, starting my own business in 2010 – Heidi Bell Photography. Now residing in Coffs Harbour, I was blessed to become the mother of a beautiful baby boy in 2014. Understandably, my efforts turned to photographing him in the outdoor places where he loves to play. The creative ideas he inspired have led to my specialisation in outdoor family portraiture. Now, instead of utilizing a relatively clinical studio environment to capture images, I consult with my clients about favoured locations and times of day that have meaning for them and which I believe will successfully establish who they are as a family. The inherent uncertainty involved in managing the dynamics of weather, light and context along with the humanity of my subjects is a challenge that doesn't faze me at all. In fact, this approach continues to provide the product that my clients rate so highly (see reviews), and which, for me, is the ultimate reward.
