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)

-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

_Originals_ Our family in progress - Our family portrait will be done indoors, this is a fun candid!


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!

Photography Sharing Goal

When people I know have lost their photographs in fires or storms. I have pursued keeping my own photography very safe. However I found that if it is safe tucked away or un-printed and stored in several safe locations it will be of no use, therefore I have already lost it in a way. 

Goal: Only Print Photography Sharing
  1. Organize my Best prints together  
  2. Review Frames and Themes
  3. Create Artwork
  4. Order new
  5. Display or Use or Prepare Gift

Who likes Laundry?

My thoughts are on how to keep laundry down to a minimum.

I love it once it is done, as everyone does.

Once I start doing something, I love to finish. I have problems getting started for anything mundane therefore chores are not my forte`. That is why I have specific times frames that remind me to work on chores.

I only wish to clean things over and over that I actually want to use.

I have challenged myself to start living the best I can wearing and helping my family wear only their favorite clothing of good looking combined with comfort for this fall.

For me and my family we are still trying to figure out what works best... usually using specific towels for each person and washing those towels with the corresponding person's clothing (using gentle detergent) My husband and I just turn on our built-in heater to air dry when we have time... I catch up on reading... very relaxing.

Greener grass where you are

What is love, if not something that keeps you going, breathing deep for fleeting moments. Calm rests in love. You search for truth only to find you already have it. Enjoy what you have for wanting what others have is pointless but wanting what you have is glorious. If you do want more with all your heart, do not force it and make it with a good conscience.

My Views in Life

When I put God first he heals my heart and keeps my lifestyle healthy in Body, Mind, Family, Society and Finances.

When I have open communication or an understanding this strengthen relationals with others when I speak truth and positively. 

Thought triggered by reading a blog post on WantingWhatYouHave
Healthcare is a divine right for humanity in my eyes when it is life or death, however cosmetic healthcare should be seperate and insured individually.


Value is all in who you are, how you buy and what you interpet your buying intitals.
I have noticed when I choose to buy something of interest for one reason or another. Both are required for me to buy, my past experiences of bargain shopping (second to last born in my family of 7) that create the need of savings or discount and something I think will be loved for it had atleast one useful purpose.
  • This is why I love making useful photography creations with great purpose
  • I believe in cherishing what you have, whiether they are resources from birth or hard earned
  • Organization is natural for me, it is to care for what I have been blessed with in my life
  • If I do no longer need an item, than I pass it on to another who needs it

Daily Yoga and Stretching (morning & through-out day)

My Yoga and Stretching are an essential part of my everyday. 

I will share my neck focused stretch routine...I do stretch as often as possible through out the day.
(below is the order I prefer to use)
  • Starting with leaning my head down first
  • Rotate towards a side leading the stretches downwards with my hand at each of the four side points (right and tilted-right; tilted-left and left) with switching hands as I go to another side (right sides, right hand; left sides, left hand)
  • Slowly shrug and rotate Shoulders and Neck back and forth
  • Cup my neck, tilting my chin up... an gentle pull upwards to stretch
  • Stretch, rotate and shake out tension from Wrists
  • Stretch, rotate and lengthen Arms
  • Massaging my neckline helps complete the process 
Focus points for stretching out my whole body:
  1. Neck
  2. Abs
  3. Arms
  4. Chest
  5. Back
  6. Hips
  7. Legs 
  8. Ankles
Here is my son a couple years ago, coming down from a (helped by my husband) handstand!

I LOVE Yoga and Stretching Daily... I do alternative yoga moves since I'm 9 months pregnant but it all works great!
