Ipek is excellent in every way! She was very friendly and worked great with us and our 3 children. She was very accommodating to my requests and found just the right location for our holiday photos which turned out perfect! Turn around time for our proofs was very quick too. We look forward to booking another session with her.

Ipek did a wonderful job photographing our newborn baby girl. We absolutely love all of the images. Her studio was clean and welcoming; her props were clean and she had a great variety. Best of all was how she interacted with our baby girl. She was extremely patient and caring, which we really appreciated. Ipek is very passionate about her work and it really shows. 5 stars!!!!

Ipek at Melodi Photography has done photos of my children on multiple occasions and I have been beyond happy! I've been blown away with not only the quality of her work but also how she interacts with my three kiddos to achieve the most amazing photos! I have throughly enjoyed every session and more so the lasting memories that are captured for me to have forever ❤️Her packages also come with an app lookbook download of the photos from our session that I absolutely love and enjoy sharing with family and friends.

We love Melodi Photography! Ipek has photographed our family now four times and there’s no one else I would trust. Not only is she amazing with kids but her print selections are plentiful and the investment is more than worth the quality. She really takes her time to get pictures you will love and want to hang in your home forever. I could go on saying nice things forever!.

Ipek and Melodi Photography are amazing all around! From start to finish she puts every ounce of care and thought into what she does and your entire experience. I was a little late on the newborn photos timeframe and she was still able to get the amazing squishy perfect adorable shots of my baby girl, and she has a ton of patience!! She understands new moms and new babies 100%! The prints, the books, the packaging, all beautiful, great quality and amazing! I just found Ipek due to lack of being able to find anyone else at the time, and I will be returning for sure!!

Oh what beautiful and precious photos! Ipek was so patient with our baby who was a bit fussy. Her home studio was equipped with beautiful and delicate outfits. She was so attentive to every single detail to ensure a beautiful photograph every time. Her final product was flawless. A true professional! Will return when baby turns 6 months.

Our baby came earlier than expected, so we had to quickly find a newborn photographer! Ipek was prompt with her response and able to fit us into her schedule soon. Her home studio is comfortable and cozy with pretty much every adorable baby prop and backdrop imaginable. Ipek (the photographer) was calm and gentle with our newborn, which eased us sleep-deprived parents as well. The photos are so precious!! Ipek truly worked her magic. We are so glad we went with Melodi Photography, and we plan to use her again for future photo needs in Bakersfield.

Best family photographer in town! We recently did our one year old's photos with Ipek and they are beautiful. She is very professional through every step of the process and we could not be happier with our choice to have her capture this important milestone in our daughter's life! We will definitely use her for photos in the future as well.

🍂 Autumn in Bakersfield isn’t always filled with crisp air and crunchy leaves everywhere you go… but if you know where to look, there are little pockets of magic that feel fully fall’ish. Golden trees, cozy light, and the perfect backdrops to soak up the season. ✨
Sometimes you just have to wander a bit to find those fall feelings here—and when you do, it’s worth it. 🍁

11 years. Hundreds of babies. And one big truth I’ve learned along the way: every baby has their own way of telling their story.
Some light up the room with giggles, some are curious explorers, and some have the most thoughtful little stares. And that’s the beauty of milestone photography — it’s not about perfect poses or constant smiles. It’s about capturing your little one exactly as they are in this fleeting season.
That’s why parents come back year after year — because these real, authentic moments are what matter most. 💙
If your baby is turning ONE soon, let’s celebrate this milestone together with a session that tells their story — in the most genuine way ✨♥️
