creative direction • styling • production
The Tides Inn is a historic resort on the Chesapeake Bay that has welcomed guests for over 75 years, offering ecotourism, a robust culinary program, and arts activities. As the property continues to renovate its spaces, expand programming, and invest in coastal conservation, Bella partnered with photographer Kate Thompson to document the resort’s evolving story.
Bella collaborated closely with the Tides Inn marketing team to develop shot lists that aligned with brand goals and future campaigns. She provided pre-production support—including casting, wardrobe, and scheduling—and brought creative direction on set, overseeing art direction and styling to ensure the visuals reflected both the resort’s heritage and its forward-looking initiatives.
