People Portraits

Bell’s Furry Friends Photography offers people portrait sessions. Sessions are available for high school seniors, families, couples, and individuals. Most work happens outdoors at a location you pick, or at our outdoor studio on Coldbrook Road in Hermon.

Senior Portraits

Senior year deserves more than stiff poses and forced smiles. Personalized, documentary-style senior sessions built around your sports, music, hobbies, and pets. Learn about senior portraits.

Family Photography

Relaxed, documentary-style family sessions that capture real connection, at home, outdoors around Hermon, or somewhere meaningful to you. Couples and individual portraits are available too. Learn about family photography.

How a Session Works

Each portrait session includes a pre-session consultation, the session itself, and an in-person ordering appointment after you choose your favorites.

We talk before the session by phone or in person. You tell me who is being photographed, what the photos are for, and whether you have a location in mind. I bring the camera gear. You bring the people.

What to Wear and Bring

Solid colors photograph cleanly. Busy patterns and large logos on shirts can distract from faces. For seniors, plan two outfits: one dressy and one casual. Layers help in spring and fall when Maine weather shifts within an hour.

Bring anything that tells your story. If an item matters to you, say so when we plan the session.

Hair and makeup before a session can be arranged through Anthony John’s Day Spa on Stillwater Avenue in Bangor. Schedule the salon appointment about two and a half hours before your session if you want hair and makeup done there.

Locations

The Coldbrook Road studio in Hermon includes a field, a wooden fence, wooded paths, and access to the snowmobile club bridge over Cold Brook. Clients also book sessions in downtown Bangor, at Cascade Park, along the Kenduskeag Trail, and at other Maine spots.

Sessions run in all four seasons. Snow, fall color, and late-day summer light each change the look of outdoor portraits. We pick a backup plan if rain is in the forecast.

Travel fees may apply for locations more than 60 miles round trip from Bangor. Maine sales tax applies to session fees.

After Your Session

After you choose your favorites, you order prints, wall art, albums, and other products individually. Session fees cover photography and proofing; digital files and printed products are purchased separately unless your package says otherwise.

Custom senior announcements can be designed and printed through Bell Imaging & Design. Ask about layout and quantity when you order prints.
