Welcome to the Sarah Bell blog

As I sit here in my bed writing this blog about Haley and Derek’s wedding day, several words come to mind. Joyful. Loving. Exciting. Emotional. Perfect. In a minute I am going to come back around to the word “emotional” and explain why it is the word that sticks out the most to me for […]

Mr. John reached out to me a couple months ago in regards to doing some photos of his family. Its pretty common for me visitors to the Lake area to reach out for family photos, but this was not just family photos. Mr. John explained to me that it was going to be a birthday […]

This session is one that felt like would never happen… Dawn hired me back in 2020 for a wedding that would happen after the whole “COVID thing” was over. Or so we thought… Not only did we end up having to reschedule engagement sessions (several times) but ultimately Dawn and Stephen were forced to reschedule […]

I chose Macon for this engagement session because of the Cherry Blossom trees that would be in bloom. If you’ve been following me for a while, you probably already know that I LOVE flowers and all things Spring. So, naturally, I was excited to pull Logan and Maria into Macon for their engagement session. I […]

If you’ve never been to downtown Madison, first, I highly recommend you go, and second, there is an adorable little park that I love taking my clients to. This is where I told Haley and Derek to meet me. Theres a gazebo, a gorgeous 3-tiered fountain, large grassy area, and plenty of little spots for […]

If you have been following me for a while, then you may have run across my interest in gardening. There is something very fulfilling about getting your hands dirty and doing some manual labor outside. At least there is for me. I love filling my lungs with fresh air and working for a long term […]

“I felt so happy to have instantly clicked with Tim.” Jess said, “ However, I was positive he would turn the other way and run once I explained that I’d be sick for the rest of my life…” Jess and Tim reached out to me in the Spring of 2019 for wedding photography. I was […]

If you have been following me on Instagram, then you saw a post about the sweetest surprise I had from Caleb. However, I’ll go ahead and tell you the story from the top. I woke up Friday morning (2/12/21), my hair a crazy mess, and my immediate thoughts going to my need for coffee. I […]

As I drove to Cator Woolford Gardens in Atlanta, I grew more and more concerned about the weather. It had already been a pretty over cast day, but as I drove it only got cloudier. So, as I normally find myself doing, I began to pray. I prayed that the Lord would push away the […]

Any time I get to shoot close to home makes me excited. As much as I enjoy exploring Georgia and new location, I love getting the opportunity capture the beautiful Lake Oconee surroundings. When I was asked to do Matt and Casey’s engagement session I was thrilled, not only because I love all things romantic, […]
