Downtown Goldsboro Portraits in Goldsboro, NC | Bella

November 25, 2015

Everyone, meet Bella. A spunky, sassy, bright, blue-eyed, newly-turned five year old! Bella, Ms. Heather, and I met in downtown Goldsboro over this Thanksgiving break so snap a few shots of Bella in honor of her milestone birthday (and because her sisters have their own portraits hung up and she hadn’t had hers made yet, hehe. I’m here to save the tears!).

Bella took no time to warm up to the camera and she was so excited to talk about the birthday party she would be having later that day…complete with cake and her two favorite people, McKenna and Kristen! We walked around the newly renovated downtown (just beautiful…go visit if you haven’t been down there recently) and found some awesome spots to show off Bella’s precious, colorful outfits. My favorites are the ones of her laughing (she’s a pro at the “candid laugh”) and just being silly!

Happy Birthday, Bella!
