Photography - BeLa Originals
From 2003 to 2007, I operated a photography business I co-founded in southwestern Illinois. BeLa Originals was a creative photography business that focused on both portrait photography and art. We sold our framed and mated prints at independent shows and booked portrait sessions with clients. My partner and I managed all details of the business, from accounting and advertising to photo editing and customer service. The photos included here are some of my work. We closed the business because we could not devote enough time to it while working other jobs and raising families.
