Baby Eise | Bakersfield Baby Photographer

Posted in Baby, Cake Smash, One Year Old

I had the joy of photographing the baby Eise’s first birthday last weekend, and it was extra special because her family traveled all the way from Tehachapi!

It feels like just yesterday I was capturing their first baby’s first birthday, and now, five years later, I’m honored to do it again for their youngest. The themes were an absolute delightβ€”strawberries, flowers, and a bubble bath. πŸ“πŸŒΈπŸ›

The little one was super cute!

Thank you to this wonderful family for allowing me to be part of these cherished moments once more. ❀️

Newborn, Baby, Maternity and Family Photographer

Come behind the scenes of a maternity session with a toddler… 🀍

There were a few shy moments.
A few giggles.
Some running back to mama.

And in between it all β€” the sweetest belly kisses and the proudest little smiles.

These sessions aren’t just about the baby on the way.
They’re about this version of their family… right before everything changes.

So grateful I get to document chapters like this. ✨

Mom life is already a full-time job.

Between snacks, naps, and making sure no one melts down… picking the β€œperfect” outfit shouldn’t be another stress before your session.

That’s why I offer a curated baby client closet in the studio β€” complimentary for milestone sessions (newborn to 18 months).

Everything is chosen to photograph beautifully and keep the focus where it belongs… on your baby 🀍

Tell me β€” are you an over-packer or last-minute grab-what’s-clean mom? πŸ˜…πŸ‘‡

POV: We nailed the session and then the baby said β€œI’m done.” πŸ˜‚

This is why I never rush.
We follow baby’s mood, take breaks, play, cuddle…
And when they’ve had enough β€” we wrap it up.

Happy or crying, it’s all part of the story 🀍

Not every photo makes the final gallery β€” and that’s intentional.

When I review your session, I immediately remove images with:

β€’ Tension in shoulders
β€’ Unflattering angles
β€’ Distracting backgrounds
β€’ Stiff hands
β€’ Forced smiles

Because beautiful portraits aren’t about quantity. They’re about refinement.

You’re not just receiving edited photos.
You’re receiving carefully selected images that feel natural, flattering, and timeless.

Connection stays.
The rest goes. 🀍
