Located in Bakersfield, California
Sienna’s family recently moved from Michigan to Bakersfield. What a fun adventure for them to explore a new state and a new city. it was so fun getting to know this sweet family and photographing them.
Sienna’s cake smash and bubble bath photos are some of my favorites. Don’t forget to scroll all the way down to see them!

Not to be dramatic but… they won’t stay this little.. 🥺
And somehow, in just a few weeks, they’ll already look different.
Tell me… what’s one thing you never want to forget about your baby? 👇

I’ve been photographing this crew since their middle child was still in her mama’s tummy… and now here we are, chasing three beautiful kids along the beach, laughing, getting sandy, and making new memories together.
Sessions like this feel more like catching up with old friends than work. I know their rhythm, the kids know me, and everything just flows so naturally. ❤️
And honestly… the beach was the perfect choice for them. So much space to run, play, and just be themselves — which is exactly where the magic happens ✨
So grateful to keep telling their story, year after year.

Not to be dramatic but… being a photographer is 10 jobs in one.
I’m the one hyping you up during your session,
the one chasing golden light and toddler smiles,
then going home to hours of editing while the house is finally quiet.
I’m also the scheduler, the marketer, the bookkeeper, the late-night email responder… a full-on solopreneur building something from the ground up.
It’s long days, full memory cards, and never really “clocking out” —
but it’s also storytelling, connection, and creating something that lasts longer than all of us.
And somehow… I wouldn’t trade it for anything 🤍
