Located in Bakersfield, California
I’m super behind at blogging the recent sessions at the beautiful almond orchards. I photographed this pretty mom and her sweet boys about a month ago. Baby Jimmy was around 6 months old when we did the session.
I loved seeing him grow. Here was his newborn session. Not to mention the very cute 2 year old big brother, who is super talkative and smiley. Love love love photographing them!
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.
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. 🙏🏻
