About Me

Thank you for stopping by!  I am Bonnie Smith, wife of a wonderful husband and mom to two amazing daughters and son-in-laws. We live in the beautiful city of Columbia.  I have been blessed by God to be a part of many precious moments in the lives of my clients since 2004. From newborns to weddings, I am thankful to be able to keep memories in sharp focus.  My passion for photography grew as I watched my beautiful girls grow from babies to preschoolers.  Time was flying by and the exhaustion from motherhood was making the daily memories fade.  By capturing these priceless moments on film (yes, film!), I was able to relive those fleeting days and keep the memories sharp. As my passion grew, I felt the Lord pressing upon me to open a business.  In 2004, Heavenly Reflections by Bonnie was launched. The name was changed in 2015 to Photography by Bonnie Smith.  I love the challenge of the changing style and art of photography and learning new techniques and trying different things.  I am thankful that YOU stopped by my website and would love the opportunity to photograph your special moment!  

I am also privileged to have taught over hundreds of high school students the art and love of photography in the home school arena and at Ben Lippen High School.
