This month in our spotlight section we are featuring Debbie Bell & MakinMemory's Photography.
MakinMemory's Photography
MakinMemory's Photography located in Talbott, TN, is a dream come true for a local photographer. Debbie Bell has always loved photography. Taking pictures for years of her friends and family. She has more than a few years of experience in taking pictures and doing portraits. She took some classes from Pete at the Camera Castle located in Morristown, in advance photography and Photoshop to advance her skills. Now she is shooting portraits at Beauty Pageants all over the south east. Debbie wants to make sure the people she works for have memories to last a lifetime. She enjoys shooting Portraits, Weddings, High School Senior Portraits, Pageant's, and Family Reunions. And anything else you might need portraits made of.
Debbie decided to start MakinMemory's Photography a few years ago before her oldest daughter graduated from high school. After seeing the price list on having her daughter's Senior Portraits made, Debbie decided she could do them a lot cheaper than going thru the school system.
Debbie has a portable studio and is able to go shoot portraits anywhere you would like to have them made at. She has a variety of backdrops to choose from. And also gives her customers the choice of buying the portraits on a cd with copyrights or printing them thru a lab for her customers giving them the best quality she can.
Debbie has done portraits and stage shots for the Tiny Miss Tennessee Pageant, and has been given the position of official photographer for Tiny Miss Tennessee and Tiny Miss Kentucky pageants. She has also done portraits and stage shots for the Sweet Heart Nationals held in Bristol, VA.
Debbie is also working with Mohawk Memories Photography helping Laura Anderson at some pageants shooting her stage shots. Laura will be going with Debbie as well to do portraits at some of her pageants. Recently Debbie was invited to shoot portraits and stage shots at the Kentucky Cover Miss pageants, Debbie and Laura will be going to their preliminary pageants thru November 2008 in Kentucky. Debbie will also be shooting the stage shots for Laura at the Summer Dreams Pageant that is being held on August 30, 2008 at Rose Center.
Debbie and Laura are also holding an online pageant, which is a photogenic contest. Where the entrants send in their best portraits and are judged accordingly and then awards are sent to them in the mail. This is becoming a popular online pageant.
