About Bella Donna
Bella Donna means beautiful woman in Italian
Created exclusively by Denise Smith Photography, the concept of Bella Donna is a nostalgic return to the heirloom portrait that reminds one of the paintings created by the Masters of yesteryear. A woman's beauty so eloquently defined by gentle brush strokes on canvas result in a true work of art.
Denise Smith believes that the women of today desire and deserve this same type of definitive fine art portrait. Thus Bella Donna is a consideration for someone who is looking for a personal affirmation of the beauty of a woman at any stage in her life, her daughters or an exclusive specialty bridal portrait. A Bella Donna portrait gives a woman a way to see herself, not only with the eyes, but with the heart. This is an experience of a lifetime!
A Bella Donna portrait experience is like no other. Denise and her assistant Emily work together with expert skill and attention to detail to create studio settings unique to each client. Designs may be contemporary and playful, or a soft romantic style with draping fabrics, timeless posing, and gentle lighting. The images are finalized by Emily’s mastery of the computer, softening, blending and adding a painterly effect resulting in a true Bella Donna fine art portrait.
