Any good photograph has the ability to express feelings, capture adventure and even evoke memories. A great photograph can do this and much more. A great photograph is fused with elements of comfort, style and passion which help to develop the image into an effortless exposure. For Kelly Cassell Photography, capturing life's moments produce these great photographs with every session.

Kelly Cassell always had a love for photography. Her passion began apparent early on during her days as a student serving as yearbook editor and photographer. In college she worked hard to complete her BS and MS degrees at Marshall University, but found out quickly that neither degree gave her the satisfaction that she received from taking photographs. “I have always loved photography but when my two daughters came along and I began taking pictures of them, photography became my passion”, she says.

Kelly Cassell Photography specializes in custom portraiture and lifestyle photography. Kelly adds, “Having some part of preserving family memories and capturing special moments is what I love.” These moments are often captured through the use of natural lighting. Portraits can be taken in a variety of settings from urban to country. Kelly enjoys taking all types of portraits whether it is a special occasion or a great family photo. Lifestyle Photography captures individuals and families in a real life setting. Kelly explains that capturing individuals where they live and play brings out the best in people.

Whichever style you choose, posed or natural, capturing life's moments is the goal at Kelly Cassell Photography. “Each time I pick up the camera I acquire new experiences, moments and joy. I feel so blessed to be in a career that brings me such fulfillment! The people I meet and the relationships I make are priceless.”, Kelly adds.

BOW LOVE HAIR BOWS

Keep spreading the love may be just words for some but for owner, Misty Olin spreading the love through her custom products is the heartbeat of her company! Her business, Bow Love Hair Bows, has quite a following in the Mountain State. Her facebook fan page alone boasts over 800 followers. A complete website is set to launch in the summer of 2012.

Bow Love creates custom Couture headpieces, bows, wedding veils, flower girl bows, and brooches just to name a few. They will also put the finishing touches on toasting glasses and even shoes. “The brides love our Swarvarski Chuck Taylor shoes in white to have on hand for their preparation time and parties”, Olin says. Misty also has a personal love for her Romantic Line. This line features Dupioni silk flowers, satin rolled roses, feathers, rhinestones and true vintage touches. “The vintage touches really bring history and a feeling of magic to each piece” she adds.


Misty followed her love for design to the Art Institute of Dallas. After graduating, she started doing clothing design and later went on to be an interior designer. After nearly twenty years of experience under her belt, designing in one form or another, Misty is climbing to the top doing what she loves! Olin is inspired by many things. “My mind is always working overtime and I am easily bored so often it takes the smallest things to inspire me such as a wrinkle in a blanket that makes me think..” Over the top pieces also inspire the designs at Bow Love. Shows like the TLC hit series My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding also serve as sensational inspiration for “blingy” pieces in the collection.

Her Huntington Mall kiosk location is thriving with hopes to move into a larger location in the future.
