M is 5 Years Old | Bakersfield Family Photographer

Posted in Birthday Session, Children, family

I had the pleasure of welcoming M and his family to Bakersfield for their much-anticipated family photo session. Traveling all the way from Los Angeles, their commitment to preserving these special moments together was truly touching.

It felt like a reunion of sorts, as the last time I had the honor of photographing this wonderful family was for M’s first birthday. Seeing how much M has grown over the years was incredible. Now celebrating his 5th birthday, he was full of energy, joy, and curiosity—perfect for capturing those candid, heartwarming moments.

M’s laughter was infectious, his playful spirit bringing out the best in everyone. His parents beamed with pride, their love for him evident in every shot.

It was a privilege to be a part of this milestone, documenting the essence of their family journey. Happy 5th birthday, M! Here’s to many more years of capturing your wonderful moments together <3

Newborn, Baby, Maternity and Family Photographer

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. ✨

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? 😅👇

POV: We nailed the session and then the baby said “I’m done.” 😂

This is why I never rush.
We follow baby’s mood, take breaks, play, cuddle…
And when they’ve had enough — we wrap it up.

Happy or crying, it’s all part of the story 🤍
