Beach Session in Santa Barbara | Bakersfield Family Photographer

Posted in Beach, family, Uncategorized

Who doesn’t love a good day spent at the beach? This beautiful Bakersfield couple booked a family session in Santa Barbara, CA to celebrate their 5 year anniversary and their baby girl’s 6 months milestone. It was so fun to travel for their session and spend the afternoon with them in one of my favorite California locations.

I can’t wait to go back to Santa Barbara to photograph other families as the weather gets warmer.

If you have been thinking about combining a fun beach day with a photo session, let me know to get a quote.

It’s not a secret that I’m looking for a reason to go back ;)

Bakersfield, California
Newborn, Baby, Maternity and Family Photographer

This past year was full of tiny moments that didn’t feel big at the time —
a sleepy newborn stretch, a messy cake smash, shy smiles, giggles that lasted only seconds ♥️

Memories fade.
The details soften.
But photos don’t✨

They freeze the in-between moments we forget we’ll miss.
They remind us how small they once were, how fast everything changed.
They bring us back to seasons we didn’t know we’d be nostalgic for yet.

As I look back at this year’s sessions, I’m reminded why printing photos matters so much.
Because one day, these images won’t just be photos —
they’ll be proof of love, growth, and time passing far too quickly.

Here’s to a year full of stories, families, and moments that deserve to be remembered —
not just in our hearts, but in our hands. 📖✨

She didn’t wait for the “right time.”
She showed up as she is. ✨
This session was about honoring herself, her journey, and this season of life ♥️
