Newborns. Sitters. Crawlers. One-year-olds.
Every baby’s journey is different,
but the first year is always unforgettable 🤍

What age are your kids right now? 💕
Bakersfield Kids Portraits 🤗
Come behind the scenes of a maternity session with a toddler… 🤍
There were a few shy moments.
A few giggles.
Some running back to mama.
And in between it all — the sweetest belly kisses and the proudest little smiles.
These sessions aren’t just about the baby on the way.
They’re about this version of their family… right before everything changes.
So grateful I get to document chapters like this. ✨

One of the most common questions I get:
“When should I schedule my maternity photos?” 🤍
The sweet spot is typically between 28–34 weeks.
By then:
• Your belly has a beautiful, round shape
• You’re still comfortable enough to move with ease
• Swelling hasn’t usually peaked
• And we have flexibility before baby arrives
Every pregnancy is different though — if you’re carrying smaller, twins, or feeling uncomfortable earlier, we adjust.
The most important thing?
Don’t wait until you feel “perfect.”
This season is already perfect.
If you’re expecting in Bakersfield this year, I recommend booking your session during your second trimester to secure your date 🤍
Save this for later or send it to a mama-to-be.

Hi, I’m Ipek — the heart behind Melodi Photography 🤍
I specialize in maternity, newborn, baby milestone, kids birthdays, and family photography here in Bakersfield, CA.
For over 10 years, I’ve been capturing tiny toes, growing bellies, first birthdays, and the beautiful chaos of family life.
My sessions are calm, baby-led, and full of patience — because I know these aren’t just photos… they’re memories you’ll hold onto forever.👶🏻
If you’re looking for a photographer who will guide you every step of the way (and maybe fix your hair between shots 😉), you’re in the right place.
Oh by the way, if you’re wondering about my accent - I’m originally from Türkiye 🇹🇷😉🤍
Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

Mom life is already a full-time job.
Between snacks, naps, and making sure no one melts down… picking the “perfect” outfit shouldn’t be another stress before your session.
That’s why I offer a curated baby client closet in the studio — complimentary for milestone sessions (newborn to 18 months).
Everything is chosen to photograph beautifully and keep the focus where it belongs… on your baby 🤍
Tell me — are you an over-packer or last-minute grab-what’s-clean mom? 😅👇
