Melodi Photography is ONE Year Old!!

Bakersfield-family-photographer

It was one year ago. I took the first official step to make my dreams come true! I made Melodi Photography real! I was so happy but super scared at the same time.

Having a business requires so much commitment. I knew  that.

So many questions in my mind.. How to do this? How to do that?…

Then I figured that “business” is truly a whole different specialty. And I need to wear way too many different hats including accountant, book keeper, website creator, social media whiz,  branding dude, customer service expert, etc. And PHOTOGRAPHER!!

How am I gonna handle everything by myself? What if I can’t do it? What if I fail? …

I knew that I need to work so hard and try my best.

In the last one year, I used almost every single moment not only to develop this business but also to improve myself in photography field. It was a pretty busy year.

In the meantime, I had a baby too. (Have I mentioned that I found out that I’m pregnant only one week after starting the business?) :) It was a total surprise!! I have to accept that I had really mixed feelings back then. I was so happy about the big news, but not so happy at the same time…

Now it’s been a year! ONE entire year!!

Of course I had up and downs along the way. But I’m so happy that I’m doing it!! Even though I can’t make all of my ideas/plans come true yet, (I have to survive as a mom too, right?) I feel like I’m getting there. At least I have started and I’m lucky to have great people in my life who support me all the time: My loving husband, wonderful friends and great clients.

THANK YOU ALL!

Seriously, I wouldn’t have done it without the love and support of you all!

Much Love,

Ipek

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. 📖✨#MelodiPhotography#BakersfieldPhotographer#BakersfieldMoms#CaliforniaPhotographer#memories
