“I am so happy that we drove from Columbus to Huntington for Courtney to take my senior photos.  Family, friends and other students at Gahanna Lincoln High School who have seen my proofs are so amazed at the poses and lighting and keep telling me ‘how will you ever decide?’  I think I would love being a model, especially if all the photographers were as fun as Courtney!”

 “A friend whose daughter graduated from Cabell Midland had her senior photos taken by Courtney.  After seeing the creativity and quality, we decided to stop looking for a photographer in Columbus and instead scheduled setting time with Courtney.  The photographers in Columbus are overpriced and we haven't seen anyone with Courtney's creativity.   Haley felt comfortable immediately and had so much fun being photographed in her many outfits.  Courtney was so accommodating that she even let us split the session into a summer and a fall session.  We hope Courtney will be able to photograph all our future special memories!”

"Courtney's photography is new and fresh. It was an amazing experience to have my senior pictures taken by her. She is very professional and brings a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere with her when she does pictures. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer!"

"Courtney was absolutely wonderful at my daughter's wedding. She felt like an old friend and has amazing talent."

"Courtney is absolutely amazing! She photographed my best friend's wedding in February 2006. She captured the most beautiful moments throughout the entire day. She is so patient---she was there as we got ready until the dancing stopped at the reception! Courtney is without a doubt the most creative photographer I have ever seen. I have said to everyone, "When I get married, I will change my wedding date before I will have anyone but Courtney Bell as my photographer!""

"Courtney, thank you so much for spending the entire day with us. It was such a luxury to have someone document all the ups and downs of a wedding day. I was glad to have you there. It felt like you were an old friend."

"I absolutely loved working with Courtney. She is very professional, but at the same time, she is really fun to work with - she's creative and makes you feel comfortable. There are no awkward poses involved, like they tend to give you at most [studios]. She's very flexible, too; she's willing to go to pretty much any location you want to to shoot. I was impressed with my Senior portraits and I loved they way they turned out. Alot of people thought so too, and they asked me where I got them done..."

"I often refer to Courtney Bell as my 'personal photographer.' She has been photographing my children for three years, including sporting events, and recently we had a new family portrait made. In my opinion, Courtney has distinguished herself from other photographers with her unique ability to consistently capture priceless expressions that show off every side of my children's personalities. Her enthusiasm for her work is evident in her photographs, which are proudly displayed throughout my home. As a result, I have received many compliments and requests for Courtney's phone number over the years. She has become like a member of our family. Without a doubt, we are customers for life."

"Working with Courtney Bell was great! She did not 'position' me to look perfect, she let me pose myself so that I could look more natural. I really enjoyed the experience and would recommend her to anyone!"

"In my opinion, Courtney Bell is what I consider a 'photo genius.' In 2002 I was having trouble finding an affordable wedding photographer who also offered a high level of quality. When I spoke with Courtney about her wedding packages I was pleasantly surprised to see that her largest wedding package includes all the photographs a couple could ask for, yet costs hundreds, even thousands less than what other local photographers offer! When my 'big day' came and I finally received my wedding pictures, I was thrilled! Courtney's unique style of photography is like no other that I have seen. Since then, she has taken numerous photos of my two older sons and has been photographing my soon to be 2-year-old daughter since she was born. The portraits that I have of my family are ones that I will treasure for a lifetime. Thank you Courtney Bell Photography!"

"Courtney is the only photographer I have worked with who has been able to capture the true beauty in my child. She is wonderful at catching his little personality in photographs. Our family and friends love all the portraits that Courtney takes of him."

~Carla Lester

"Courtney is a wonderful, talented photographer. She took pictures of me while I played in the park and I didn't realize how easy it could be. It was also wonderful for my Mom and Dad! They highly recommend her!"

~Luke Patrick Hatfield, Age 1

"I was looking for a wedding photographer, but didn't want to pay the hundreds [and sometimes up to] thousands of dollars that I was being quoted by other photographers. I just happened to run across Courtney's website a week before I got married and called her up after looking at her wedding package prices....Courtney worked with me to get the package that was just right for me and in the price range we needed...She is very professional and just a great person to work with. The pictures she took were unbelievable! Everyone who sees my wedding album can not believe how great the photos are. She has a talent to capture just the right picture of everyone. Especially the kids pictures, they were wonderful. I am so glad that I found Courtney for my wedding. She has created memories for me that I will have for a lifetime and the DVD we have is even better, I can't watch it without crying. In my opinion, Courtney is one of the most talented photographers you could ever get for your special event. And I would have never gotten the quality photos I got from Courtney anywhere else. Thank you Courtney for everything. We will refer you to everyone we know and definitely use you again some day."

"Courtney Bell Photography was an amazing experience! I didn't have to go to a studio and sit in an unnatural pose... all my pictures were taken outside where it was relaxed and comfortable. And as for the quality? Well, let's just say my parents had a hard time deciding what poses to buy because they all looked so great! They're looking forward to going to Courtney Bell again when my brother becomes a senior."

~Christina Mayes

"My family and I were more than pleased with the quality of the photos taken for my senior package. The poses were natural looking and the pictures were excellent. I traveled from KY to have my pictures done and it was well worth the trip. I would recommend Courtney Bell for any photo needs. Thanks Courtney for such a wonderful job."

~Mason Horton
Elliott Co. High School Senior, 2005

"I cannot say enough great things about Courtney's photographs. My kids have never done so well with a photographer. She pretty much just let them be themselves, and the pictures came back unbelievable. She and her brother [assistant] also had to sing the ABCs many times to get my 1 year old to smile. I'm so glad we found the best photographer around."

~Misti Queen
Lavalette, WV

"Courtney is amazing at what she does. I used to get so angry about having pictures done. I hated it because I was never photogenic. However, Courtney takes pictures in a relaxed setting and captures who you really are. She makes you photogenic. I can't thank her enough. You are really missing out if you haven't had your pictures done by her."
