A NEW age of a Professional Photographer: Hannah's Story


Hi all ya awesome general public, wedding professionals and photographers! I am here for Bless Photography by Hannah Bedell and would love to give an introduction... my first priorities are God, my health, my family, my friends and my business. After that I really do not do much except sleep, lol. I have a good sense of humor; I forgive and love those whom love and forgive me! It’s not very easy all the time - I've heard. I’m not a robot, just a mere mortal human. I love life… equally planned events to good spontaneous decisions. Presently, as long as my team and I are treated with respect and provided breaks and meal times. You got us alongside you, adults unless an otherwise pre-approved request.


Big story insights about Hannah:
When I think back to the days of my childhood I remember the first wedding that I photographed, as a guest with the disposable cameras (out for guests), it was very cool! As I grew older and pursued my passion, I was elected historian for my high school band and loved capturing images for the pages of our book. (One reason why I love to create hand made books and layouts on boards) I was skipping standard classes (none-the-less: A’s that year in all classes) and just grabbing lunch on-the-go to get back to post-process film or print work! I felt more a part of everything, I felt alive and awake and as an important team player! (Team player Interpretation: I’m a middle daughter in a family with 5 older siblings and my BFF younger sister, makes 7 of us to grow in love) 

I am inspired by my oldest son who is 9 already and he wanted his own page! He photographed at his first wedding 2 1/2 years old: Zachary T. W.

His current work of me recently, I helped set camera setting and work on different edits with him.





My family and I live to love each other and make the most of each occasion! They help me scout... and photograph me modeling or model for me when I want a subject in the scenery to bring it alive!

I excelled in the visual communications and video classes to learn photographic techniques and lighting and angles and theories, I loved every millisecond. I was honored by school and many friends whom were blessed and let me borrow. The year 2005 I was exalted to be given one that I have today, a Film SLR it honored me through my first beautiful senior sessions. As time changed I notice seniors multiply: I love twins and triplets!


Bless Photography By HannahSenior Triplets and their Buddy!

 I was humbled by family and friends and people who welcomed me to work complimentary while I was learning. My husband helped me learn how to know who to trust, Thank you!



I am honored by individuals whom are able to afford the luxury, God bless them by the way.  I was able to buy my own professional camera late 2005 and I became overwhelmed by compliments that I had to remind myself to be humble a lot! I always talked and worked together with fellow photographers, to keep humble. I am not attempting to be egotistical when I ask for paid work my way. I love what I do but it is a career not a hobby. If I'm a guest now a day, I will be your guest snapping discreetly but crying inside - Wishing I could hint you in to accomplishing my hearts aches to follow my God’s gifted talents and skills of knowledge to me. 

My main endeavor is to craft superior and long-lasting art work. No, I did not go to a university or get a degree but I feel that made me more affordable for those with $3000 budget Weddings. This correspondingly made me feel the need to learn more and crafted a course myself for fellow photographers to follow, who may want to learn how to professionally cover a Wedding for $30,000 budgets or more. Pre-Register for online classes, your choice from our listed course once you join our team: Apply online to be approved for our Team and you may enter our outreach rescue or programs if you qualify to be a team leader!  Thank you for answering our prayers for those in need.

NEW Photo Editor Technique and Process: No one is perfect, I have noticed  that in the past I have edited wrong with editing experiments and now I am fixed on my new post-processing, that is more efficient and budget savvy. All current clients get to see their originals and my edited work side-by-side. Plus extras are available in $$-$$$ paid ranges per image/media to cherry-pick what and how you want me to edit any image or media as well (prints are extra cost to you too)

_original_ Before


-Photo Editor Technique- After


PHOTOGRAPHERS TEAM with GUESTS and WORK as a TEAM if they FEEL the NEED: Most people (pro photographers) are used to saying no, stop it or grumbling over shots they wanted to do but GUESTS got in the way and they did not know how to deal with them. Some couples unplugged a wedding and told guests not to photograph at all! What a shame that GUESTS - the loved one and the family or friends are rejected over just plain strangers! Yes, trained strangers but there is a better way... I have seen people still used disposable cameras for guests but most cameras were left unappreciated by most guests now a day. That is why I decided to make options for guests at your wedding to join us when they noticed something to photograph. They are given our email to send images for approval to be uploaded to your Gallery, if they would like to share and order prints via WHCC professional lab – Pre-planned and spontaneous acts of kindness are offered as well... (ie: Any other people share their cameras with a team or your family - even children at weddings? - Yes, something they had in mind a quick one... they always look awesome for me and the couple appreciate the kind gesture!) We let them help/photograph with one of our cameras (after I set the settings needed, if they were not trained)! We love responsible people to join us! Yes, even children are responsible and love it! Why not enjoy the day with your loved ones ideas participation to make it better? Who could it hurt; many photographers break cameras at this thought. I have no fear - for when I have decided to give that opportunity to the right person, all I have seen is the light shining. It takes me back to my younger years of my first wedding at 11, when my mom gave me permission to use as many disposable cameras as I wanted. I knew then, that I wanted to be a professional photographer with an amateur camera in my hand, let’s love and grow together! Apply online: Join us! Quiz

We love God… everyone deserves to feel welcome! If you would like to know more, let me know!

Book Review: "Big Girl" by Danielle Steel

Cover Description
In this heartfelt and incisive new novel, Danielle Steel celebrates the virtues of unconventional beauty while exploring deeply resonant issues of weight, self-image, sisterhood, and family.

A chubby little girl with blond hair, blue eyes, and ordinary looks, Victoria Dawson has always felt out of place in her family, especially in body-conscious L.A. Her father, Jim, is tall and slender, and her mother, Christina, is a fine-boned, dark-haired beauty. Both are self-centered, outspoken, and disappointed by their daughter’s looks. When Victoria is six, she sees a photograph of Queen Victoria, and her father has always said she looks just like her. After the birth of Victoria’s perfect younger sister, Gracie, her father liked to refer to his firstborn as “our tester cake.” With Gracie, everyone agreed that Jim and Christina got it right.

While her parents and sister can eat anything and not gain an ounce, Victoria must watch everything she eats, as well as endure her father’s belittling comments about her body and see her academic achievements go unacknowledged. Ice cream and over sized helpings of all the wrong foods give her comfort, but only briefly. The one thing she knows is that she has to get away from home, and after college in Chicago, she moves to New York City.

Landing her dream job as a high school teacher, Victoria loves working with her students and wages war on her weight at the gym. Despite tension with her parents, Victoria remains close to her sister. And though they couldn’t be more different in looks, they love each other unconditionally. But regardless of her accomplishments, Victoria’s parents know just what to say to bring her down. She will always be her father’s “big girl,” and her mother’s constant disapproval is equally unkind.

When Grace announces her engagement to a man who is an exact replica of their narcissistic father, Victoria worries about her sister’s future happiness, and with no man of her own, she feels like a failure once again. As the wedding draws near, a chance encounter, an act of stunning betrayal, and a family confrontation lead to a turning point.

Behind Victoria is a lifetime of hurt and neglect she has tried to forget, and even ice cream can no longer dull the pain. Ahead is a challenge and a risk: to accept herself as she is, celebrate it, and claim the victories she has fought so hard for and deserves. Big girl or not, she is terrific and discovers that herself.


Hannah BeDell's Review:
My husband bought me the book for a "just because" present which I love! I just finished reading it today in my comfy window seating while my husband did chores and errands and helped care for children and I had a break from reading while going out to a restaurant. After I read it I took a bath because I was rather disappointed. I though surely this woman who sounds smart would stand up for herself and face those remarks of unworthy notice easily. I thought they had no grounds since those characters were not fully believable. Even though I know of parents with children who were big boned and tried to "fix" them. But those parents did not just ridiculed in an UN-believable fashion.

Big girl is not about her size in this book, it sounded more about money or freedom. The "big girl" seems to think she is so poor but if you can afford everything she has in this story you are far from poor. It had a good story line to learn more on how you may be a "big girl" going off on your own and doing things your own way, after and if you had parents with enough money for college in the first place. That seemed like a big flaw there, with a major dependant issue upon who was denying you the love you needed in the first place. Finding the right people was a big part of the book too. Although it did emphasize on size a lot but that said being 20 lbs. or 25 lbs. over your weight is normal. While with American society now a days if you focus on work or anything before your own health. I'm guilty of that at times. I thought this book was insightful for freedom and weight-watchers was mentioned a lot. I wonder if they paid money for that? But my big sister uses them and has lost and kept off way more than 20 or 25 lbs.

Book Points for parts I learned, grew and loved....
Now I am joining a gym, not for anyone but myself like her.
Getting a treadmill at home, again.
I loved and have started the assignment ideas:
Write a short story after a Summer vacation ~ About what you would have wanted your Summer vacation to be like
What you want to be when you grow up ~ I like this because you are always learning even after school (living life is consistent with learning)
Write lyrics for your own song and play it on instrument for extra fun too

It was a good turn pager because it changes up every once in a while and gave me some good ideas for new learning. It ended with a saying of how it's good to be happy where you are now. Look ahead and do not stand by, LIVE!

Shopping with sis

My sis and I went out shopping for a couple hours at a new Goodwill and we found some great items! We enjoyed eachothers encouraging conversation and helping pick out the best items. My sis is sweet and fun to shop with, there were several ladies who loved how we talked and complimented us for being ourselves. My total budget was $20 we came out combined to spend only $15. My sis is my Best friend forever! We have many things in common... I am very blessed to know my little sister!! Here is a photograph of my sister and I visiting on one of our recent shopping trips in Winter 2010...

A month old already!

Our son is one month today! It seems like just yesterday he was only a week old (like seen in the photograph on the right with his cousin K. holding him). It is exciting to watch and see how children change through different stages of their lives.  I am at a new stage of life now.  Working to balance my life, creating my ultimate goal of enjoying each day as a gift from god. 

Now for something new...to help learn my Art Life I want to ask...
Can you help?
  • My dad is having a hernia surgery this Friday... please pray for him
  • Read any good books, what are they?  
  • Watch an inspirational show or movie and please let me know (I loved watching/reading Joel Osteen yesterday)
  • I need help with my daughter's outrageous behavior... what discipline methods work for you?
  • Did you get to look at my website? Do you have any comments and ideas? (Check out the changes since yesterday) I simplified my website Art Life; I am still adding keywords and creating Artwork.
God Bless You and Yours,

Blessings... God gives us the Best and we do not take it

I feel small at times.... then I remember my life is endless Blessings.... I know I feel small because those Blessings also become a major responsibilities! I love everything.... although with a feeling like there should have been a really detailed manual with just being... or is the bible a manual? It must be.... I always know what to do after reading even just one verse! I read it almost daily and encourage my children with God's Word. As I remember memories of my parents teaching me the word.... I am filled with joy I have many oppurtunities to teach the word with my children! I fear God. He has given me everything and more than I have asked for.... honestly, I do not always take it.... if I do not notice the simplicity of life, I get lost in all the things to do and forget about really living! I am too nice... I am too simple... I am too big... etc. My thoughts are taunting.... All of these thoughts came from watching something or hearing something that is another humans opinion and nothing more... why do I care?! God has made me through my parents.... he has made my children through me... that is amazing!!! Is that not enough just to be? Why do I hunger for more of this or that.... the temptations of this world that never last. If I put my love all fully and devoted to God I will be happy! Now, How do I do this? By reading the word... surrounding myself with inspirations... I have been meaning to make more art/cards with photographs and bible verses. I have thousands of photographs.... I think I am ready... what holds me back from accomplishing my Goals. And when I do get a chance to do them why are they never enough? I always start looking for more.... I need to be content. Working through the bad to the good makes everything better! Verses getting everything good from the start to finish... God knows exactly what we need! WOW... I fear God and Love him for everything!

How does this happen?

Here my daughter is.... in deep thought it looks like.... what changes her expression next to the picture below....



.....of Pure joy and happiness!


I believe it is God's work!
AMAZING!!!!

Step-By-Step right?

Re-organizing is fun for me but since there is so much to re-organize... I can not knock it out fast enough and feel like I did not do enough because I did not do it all... My standard is that I always like to finish what I started and fast - that is something I am trying to overcome. I know taking things step by step work better. The good side is... I always have something to do so I'm not bored.

I do not ever feel accomplished! Why?

How may I overcome this ridiculous mind game in my head?

Today's Thoughts.... Moving... March 20th '09

Thank you, for taking the time to sit and read my blog!
(it takes me an hour to do each post, usually)

I made my son's Birthday Invites today! Also I photographed some good things today...

Today my Dad came on over, he has helped tremendously.... he brought a bunch of empty boxes over since they just moved last month they had a whole bunch ready for us to use! He managed to pack all of his big buckets and Tools to help for our move!

Right now my husband and Dad are setting up one of our Biggest Tanks (55 Gallon) at the New place! Thomas did the smallest tank (30 Gallon) this morning before my Dad arrived... now they only have the corner tank (~42 Gallons) left to do today. Recently my Dad he has found out he has a hernia, so he is not lifting really heavy stuff, which is why it is very good that they are doing the furniture tomorrow.... my dad would do too much heavy lifting if he was here then, since he is a very giving person.... Like me!

I am going to pick up my BF from High-school.... I just finished my tabata exercise a little bit ago... I'm amazed at how well it is working out for me! Everyday I do at least 15 minutes because I do stretches but I give myself as much time as I want to workout and stretch all through out the day... and Ice/massage my body any areas that are needing it.

Enjoy your day, make someones day!

My March 17th & 18th days...+ Want to go?

March 17th
  • St Patricks Day was fun! I got to sleep in with my husband and children...
  • In the afternoon, I visited with Janiece and two of her children at the Lions Park. Zach and I got some really great exercise walking to and from the park!
  • Brandi and Joey visited later that evening, played games, watched a movie, snacked & drank to be festive... I am not very good at WII Guitar hero but they are experts! I am happy they were able to celebrate St. Patty day with us!
March 18th
  • My mom came over the day after St. Patty day, we visited, shopped at some great stores... we got some really healthy food and good products. I finally have my fish oil!
  • Twilight will come out soon... they were playing it at one of the stores... it looks interesting to me now but only a one time watch movie... I'll Rent it at one of those cool Redbox, DVD dispenser, I do not want to buy it.

Want to Go?

  • I want to go to Clear Creek Nursery with a family or a friend.... my mom came over too late to go.. they had already closed at 5pm. I would like to share the trip with someone... for some reason going with someone else always makes going places a lot more fun!

How the times have changed.... some text book from 1950

The following is excerpted from a 1950's high school home-economics textbook.
{How To Be A Good Wife}
"Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal - on time. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal are part of the warm welcome needed.
Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so that you'll be refreshened when he arrives. Touch up your make up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. Be a little gay and a little more interesting. His boring day may need a lift.
Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives, gathering up school books, toys, paper, etc. Then run a dust cloth over the tables. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too.
Prepare the children: take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and faces (if they are small) comb their hair, and if necessary, change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part.
Minimize all noise: At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer, dishwasher, or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet. Be happy to see him. Greet him with a warm smile and be glad to see him.
Some don'ts: Don't greet him with problems or complaints. Don't complain if he's late for dinner. Count this as minor copmared with what he might have gone through that day. Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or suggest he lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soft, soothing and pleasant voice. Allow him to relax and unwind.
Listen to him: You may have a dozen things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first.
Make the evening his: Never complain if he does not take you out to dinner or to other places of entertainment. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure, his need to be home and relax.
The goal: Try to make your home a place of peace and order where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit."

I wish I could be perfect and do everything sometimes but no one is perfect! Fortunately my husband does not expect any of this above from 1950... wow, things sure have changed of what is expected! (depending upon your relationship, some people do have a lot of these expectations.... I have seen them on the show "wife swap" or "trading spouses")

Life is Full of Possibilities : ) "Walk together" Poetry

I was reviewing my Goals and thought I would share some thoughts about life's possibilities with poetry inspired by looking at one of my photographs I created on a vacation to Long Beach, WA.

"Walk together" By: Hannah R. Bedell
People need each other, to love and be loved..
We do not fully enjoy beauty, unless we know love...
Space is not important, if there is nobody to there to share it with....
As humans, we always want more than we have, until we have love.....

What are your thoughts when you look at this photograph?
Please let me know by communicating by Email: hrbphotos@ymail.com or Comment below this blog post, Thank you!

Go for a walk and play around!

I really enjoy going outside... I had my husband watching the kids yesterday when I went out for my daily walk and started jogging and then skipping! After stretching and skipping/jogging and walking some more (I stopped to smell some beautiful flowers too), I decided to go play on the new playground being built near by. The park was still in construction but most of the playground was set up... It was alot of fun! I was so active, it replaced my daily exercises I usually do inside my house.

All around it is better to get outside no matter what the weather, just for some fresh air. And if it is nice, I like to go for a 30 minute stroll and play with my children at the park... what more could you ask for? I love to learn everything good about life!!
