Located in Bakersfield, California
I had the pleasure of photographing Baby Jolie as a newborn, and now, she’s returned to the studio for her first birthday session. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the wonderful parents for entrusting me with these precious moments. 
A baby’s first birthday is a milestone that holds a special place in parent’s hearts, and it was a true privilege to capture it through my lens. 
I know these memories will be cherished for a lifetime 
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.
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.

“We’re not photogenic.” That’s what they told me before their session.
So we kept it simple: hold your daughter, love on her, and enjoy being together. 🤍
You don’t need to know how to pose to have photos you love. Sometimes your favorite person brings out everything we need.
Take a look at these photos… you tell me if they’re photogenic. 😉

Every tag, share, and “you should book with her” means more to me than you might realize. 🤍
When you share your photos and tag Melodi Photography, you help another family find me—and hearing about me from someone they trust makes such a difference.
To everyone who recommends me to a friend, shares a post, or comes back year after year: thank you. You’re a big part of how this little business keeps growing, and I don’t take that for granted.🙏🏻✨

One day, they’re all sleepy stretches and tiny toes. Then suddenly, they’re crawling away from you with somewhere very important to be. 😂
Every stage comes with its own little expressions, favorite ways to play, and new family moments.
These photos are from different sessions, but they share the same idea: remembering your little ones just as they are right now.
And parents, get in a few photos too. Those cuddles belong in the album. 🤍
What’s something your little one does lately that you want to remember?

I’ve always been a hard worker, but running my own business has shown me what that looks like in the little moments.😊

No plan, no perfect location—just a camera, a walk, and whatever catches my eye ☺️

Why does a newborn session take 2–3 hours? 🤍
Not because we’re taking photos for three hours straight. 😉
A lot of that time is spent not taking pictures at all.
Feeding. Soothing. Changing. Cuddling. Waiting for baby to settle. And sometimes trying something, realizing baby has other plans, and moving on. 😄
There’s no pressure to “get the shot” quickly.
Your baby sets the pace, and I build plenty of time into newborn sessions so we can follow their cues instead of watching the clock.
Because beautiful newborn photos shouldn’t come at the expense of a comfortable baby—or stressed parents.
Come in, get comfortable, and let your baby be a baby. 🤍
I’ll take care of the rest.
Save this for your newborn session!
