“Bella Donna was wonderful to create with in the amazing natural beauty of Hawai'i that she knows so well. I'd highly recommend an early morning visit to the lava fields, but wherever you go you'll find beautiful creative and collaborative opportunities with her. I found that the photo tour with her was a great combination of photography, scenery, and pleasant conversation.”

“Bella is an absolutely stellar example of the rare balance between creativity, adaptability, professional presence, and genuine human warmth that makes someone truly exceptional to work with in modeling and artistic environments. Always communicative, punctual, thoughtful, kind, and ready to embody a vision, she is a genuine dream to work with. Over the years, I’ve had multiple opportunities to work with Bella and have consistently been impressed by her clear-headed, committed-to-the-bit, easygoing nature, as well as her intuition for elevating and complementing whatever project she’s involved in. Whether in creative editorial, nude, or commercial settings, I highly recommend Bella as both a model and a meaningful addition to any team working in the visual arts.”
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Bella on multiple occasions, and each time I’m always impressed by her professionalism. Her communication is clear and timely. She shows up prepared when she says she will, and most importantly, she brings a positive energy and poise to the session that translates so well on camera. Some of my best images over the years have involved Bella and that’s not a coincidence. It’s a testament to her skills as a model to help realize the artistic vision.”

On location, Bella offers creative, complicated posses that most others cannot strike. She is also very versatile in many different genres from high fashion to fine arts. Bella can do it all. I take every opportunity possible to create with Bella.”

Testimonials
“I was looking to expand my social media presence and OF account, Bella was the perfect mentor. She had so much knowledge and personal experience in the industry, answered all my questions. Absolutely would recommend”

“Having the opportunity to create artwork with Bella is nothing short of a dream come true. Beyond taking direction extremely well, she flows gracefully and organically from one expression to the next in a manner that often times deems instruction wholly unnecessary because she anticipates so well what needs to come out next in order to allow the art to be what it’s meant to be. Speaking as someone who has been behind the camera professionally for close to a decade and has had the fortune of working with extremely talented artists, her ability to both identify and execute exactly what a photo needs is unmatched.
Bella is a living, breathing renaissance painting; the classic and timeless expression of the muse. She’s a consummate professional in every sense and brings the absolute best energy to spend time with. There truly is not a better person to choose for any artistic vision you might have.”
