But first, come behind the scenes of motherhood sessions with me.
This is what motherhood sessions look like before the final photos 🥰
Movement.
Laughter.
Kids wrapped around mom’s arms.
Nothing forced.
Nothing stiff.
Just love 🤍
And that’s exactly how the magic happens.
POV: You just found out you’re getting a sibling. But is it a girl or a boy? 💗💙

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

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. ✨
