Luke is One | Bakersfield Children Photographer

Do you know what is one of the most fun parts of having a photography business? I meet so many wonderful families and mommies in Bakersfield, and I get to watch so many kids grow. Usually it’s so amazing to see how tall they got since the previous session, and how their interests have  changed. And the babies.. Oh the babies.. They come for newborn session, and then I see them as they start walking in their one year session, then they start running, talking, etc. So exciting!

I did two more photo sessions with these sweet children in the past. With the new addition – baby boy Luke (in the last two sessions), they got even more fun to photograph. You can see the previous two sessions here and here.

Last week we did a cake smash and bubble bath to celebrate baby Luke’s first birthday at Hart Park. He was one lovely and smiley little boy, and he had a great time as I took his first year photos.

Yes, getting everyone dressed and out the door is a whole event. But someday, you’ll want to remember how they fit in your arms—not how long it took for them to find their shoes.Invest in the memories. Include yourself in them. Your kids will want those photos with you, too. 🤍#bakersfieldfamilyphotographer #bakersfieldportraitphotographer #melodiphotography #bakersfieldmoms #familyphotoshoot

A little nudge to print those family photos 🤍Because the photo of your toddler hugging you deserves a spot where you’ll see it every day.Someday, you’ll walk past it and remember exactly how they fit in your arms.#bakersfieldfamilyphotographer #printyourphotos #memories #familyphotography #photoalbum
