I had the pleasure of meeting Bella with her family, who all came out to jump for joy together. Bella has a special kind of energy about her, she is confident and knows what she wants.
We got all kinds of fun photos of Bella flying through the air, but I loved the simplicity of this one because it captures her, just hovering calmly in the air. I think she has innate wisdom to offer the world and I’m so happy she came out to share some of her joy with us.
Get to know a little about Bella:

Q: What is your greatest passion in life?
A: Music is my #1 passion because it’s in my soul! I play the ukulele, the guitar and sing. I love to write songs to express my feelings. I also love mid-century modern architecture because it reminds me of home. I also enjoy designing rooms for my dolls, taking photos, and shooting videos because doing something creative is fun.
