Hi I'm chanella, your Nassau, Bahamas Photographer

I AM BELLA........I AM A CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHER.............I CREATE MEMORIES. Born and raised on one of the picturesque jewels of the Bahamas .My former years were spent basking in the inspirational beauty I call home. In 1991, I was gifted with my first Polaroid but not yet discovered my passion and eye for photography. At the time, my goal was completing an English/Broadcasting degree, but it was clear that this was only a minute part of my purpose. I found a true love in photography after giving birth to my firstborn and bringing her home to the Bahamas. Since then I have nurtured what I've known as humble beginnings into the evolution of something beyond what words can sometimes describe. I have the awesome task of embedding my gift and creativity into the hearts and lives of everyone I come in contact with. While beginning as just a love for it, Mustard Seed Pro Photography has evolved into a ministry where each session is inspired by God and Holy Spirit to specifically focus on the need of each client both artistically and spiritually. With every session, a seed of something is planted: whether it's a seed of extra time, a listening ear or a little extra love in the session. As a lover of art and creativity, passion is infused into everything I do: photography is no exception. My aim is always to capture the very essence of every moment while taking pleasure in creating everlasting marks in the lives of every client through each lens. I am a gifted woman of God, mother of two extraordinary blessings and eager to capture your next milestone/special memories.....

My Nassau, Bahamas Photography Reviews

Chanella was incredible. She made my fiancé and me incredibly comfortable.

We had planned to take engagement pics in the Bahamas. We got incredible pics and it felt like a date. We got ice cream and she just captured our relationship.

We don’t usually take pics but didn’t feel awkward at all. -Antonia

I don't even know where to begin because I have only all positive things to say about my photographer Chanella!

She has been amazing to work with and made my husband and I feel so comfortable during our honeymoon photoshoot! Chanella was so fun and professional to talk to and very easy to get in touch with before and after the photoshoot!

I would definitely recommend her as a photographer if you want to have a fun, relaxed, and enjoyable photoshoot! -Shorook

Working with Chanella was a wonderful experience. She was extremely kind, courteous, and helpful.

She did a great job putting us in the best position possible for the photos. She made us feel very comfortable taking the photos. She led and guided us throughout the day which made things easier on our end.

She is definitely a true professional and I'd recommend her to everyone. -Enyichi

I had an amazing experience with my photographer Chanella (Bela). She was super friendly and made us feel very comfortable for the photo shoot, the pictures came out great that we had a hard time choosing from.

Definitely recommend her work and this website is very professional and if we come back to the Bahamas again will definitely reach out to Local lens and Chanella again.

Thank you -Sandra

Chanella was such a pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond to capture precious moments from our family vacation. She is amazing with children. And of course the photos came out gorgeous as well. I wish she was local to us because I would want her for every special event. -Tani

Chenella was a amazing!!! I would recommend her for any occasion. She was patient and so kind with my family. We were on a cruise, port time around 9:30am, so we would not be able to get morning light or stick around until sunset. We all did the best we could with the super bright sun and hot temps, and Chenella made the portraits incredible. When in the Bahamas, I would love to use her again! We also go to watch her set up and photograph a surprise engagement! She had set up the "marry me" on the beach with leaves and brush, then was there hiding for the surprise. She is such a kind soul. I hope everyone can use her! -Shanna

I selected Chanella for our family's photo shoot - my parents were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. Chanella was unable to do our shoot because she was ill, but she got one of her partners, Desmond, to do our shoot last-minute. He was great, super personable, and took a good variety of shots. There were some delays in getting the photos after the shoot, but Chanella was very helpful and responsive and was able to get everything taken care of. The photos turned out wonderful and captured this special moment for our family. I would definitely recommend her! -Lisa

My husband and I booked Chanella for a session while in the Bahamas for our anniversary and we could not be happier with the whole process and how our photos turned out! Chanella made us feel so comfortable and had great suggestions for poses, where to take our photos, etc. She also got our photos back to us very quickly and they turned out amazing. I highly recommend using Chanella for your next photo shoot! -Jamie

Our photographer, Bella (Chanella) was excellent! She was so friendly and gave us many creative directions to pose for the best photos. At one point, she even laid down on the sand in her dress to capture unique shots of our family. There was nothing stopping her from capturing the perfect moment.

All the photos turned out beautifully. We are extremely pleased with her professionalism and her creative photo-taking skills and would highly recommend Bella as your photographer in the Bahamas to create beautiful, lasting memories. -Josh

Chanella was amazing for our maternity photoshoot! We worked around some scheduling issues, but it ended up being a better plan! We met up right after sunrise, the lighting was BEAUTIFUL, and Chanella knew the propriety very well so we didn't loose any time wandering around. She gave us great directions, the result looks like a magazine. Recommend Bella 10000%! Thank you so much <3 -Clarisse & Nick
