Your baby’s first year is a whirlwind of firsts — first smile, first steps, first giggle fits. And then, before you know it, you’re planning that first birthday.
A First Birthday Session is more than just a photoshoot — it’s a celebration of your baby’s growth, your family’s journey, and all the love that’s bloomed over the past 12 months <3
Hi! I'm Ipek! I’m so glad you’re here! Whether you’re embarking on motherhood for the first time or simply wanting updated photos of your growing family – these are moments that you will forever have to cherish and share with the ones you love, and I’m beyond grateful that you would consider me capturing them. Be sure to take a look around and let me know if you have any questions.
It’s not just about perfect poses—it’s about channeling your energy into patience, play, and joy, because that’s when the real magic happens✨♥️

The best part of my job?
Watching families grow—not just in numbers, but in love, laughter, and memories.
It’s an honor to be invited back again and again to capture it all. ♥️

This little cutie turned the studio into his personal racetrack — props inspected, backdrops tested, laps completed. 🏃♂️💨😂

Every day comes with choices…
This dress or that one? One more coffee or call it a day? 😄
But here’s the thing—
The little choices we make (with heart, humor, and maybe a bit of indecision) shape the life we’re creating.
So choose what feels good. Choose what brings peace.
And if all else fails—choose the cuter dress. 😉💛
What kind of choice are you making today—big or small?

Love was all around during this session 💛
From the way they laughed together, cuddled their baby, and chased after their little ones — this family radiated joy and connection.
It’s moments like these that remind me why I do what I do. Real love. Real life. Beautifully captured.
If you’re dreaming of photos like these with your own crew, let’s make it happen this fall 🍂✨

Give me good light and I’m happy. ☀️
That soft golden glow, the way it wraps around a moment and makes everything feel dreamy… yes please.🌅
Photography is all about noticing the little things—like how the light hits just right. ✨

Tiny toes, sleepy yawns, squishy cheeks… and those little smiles that melt your heart. Every session is a reminder of how fleeting these early days are—and I get to freeze them in time for families to hold onto forever. 💛
Honestly? I love what I do. And I’m so grateful I get to do it. 🙏🏻
