A few months ago we had the opportunity to work with Kelly Bell, founder of the Bell House Bakery. Kelly is a food blogger and a personal chef for private parties and home events, and people with a taste for a home cooked meal, but hopeless in the kitchen. She’s in the business of knocking people’s socks off. The purpose of our session together was to create some images of Kelly’s incredible food for her to use on the blog, and for promotional material in advertising and across social media, but we also spent some time creating a few thematic business portraits for her to use as well.
Before our session, Kelly went to work preparing an array of sweets and savory temptations for us to photograph. It was clearly a great deal of work, but it paid off. The food looked great—but it tasted even better (yeah, we snuck more than a few bites while we were shooting).
Toward the end of our session, we brought the whole Bell Family clan together for a photo surrounded by delicious food and smiling faces. It was impromptu but proved to be one of our favorite shots of the day.
Kelly is a dream to work with and her food is absolutely delicious, and she is definitely a good way to wow guests at a special dinner party. Take a few minutes to check out the Bell House Bakery blog for cooking tips, instructions and recipes, or if you’re not much of a culinary explorer, get in touch with Kelly and she’ll come cook for your family and friends, making you look like a hero.
