Welcome to Bella Mena Photography

Thank you for stopping by my site. I hope you enjoy these gorgeous faces. Every photographer finds their own style. When you book with me, you get an hour of a whole lot of picture taking. When I give you your CD, it is filled with edited, very candid moments of that hour as well as portraits you will want to have printed and framed. I have found that my clients love the candid pictures just as much as the portraits. I recommend that once you have your CD, you upload your pictures to your favorite photo lab and make a photo book with your pictures so you can display them and keep them forever. It isn't often you get to see pictures of yourself together with your family or of your children....just being. Those are the moments I love to capture. Make sure to click on play on the playlist below to listen to some great music while you browse through my page. Please feel free to contact me at bellamenaphotography@yahoo.com or 916-205-3575 from the hours of 5:30p.m. and 9:00p.m. Monday - Friday and anytime on Saturday and Sunday.

Mother's Day Surprise~

Yes we are in August and I am just now posting this but I promise the pictures weren't edited THAT long ago :) Did I mention I also have a day job.

This was a Mother's Day gift from her son and daughter. It was super special for me to do this session because they told me it had been about 17 years since they took family pictures (I hope I am remembering that correclty). Anyway, a long time! I recieved an email from a few days later that stated that after the session they all had breakfast together and she told her kids that she wished that she could bottle up that day forever. You all should know by now how sensitive I am so needless to say I got teary eyed. I told her that she couldn't bottle it up but she will sure have the pictures to remember the day by forever.
