Melodi Photography is ONE Year Old!!

Posted in Business, personal

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

What parents should know about baby milestone photo sessions 💕

Milestone sessions are about more than age — they’re about development, personality, and connection during your baby’s first year.

🍼 Milestones are based on ability, not just age!
Every baby develops differently. Some sit early, some crawl later, some skip stages — milestone sessions are planned around what your baby can comfortably do, not a strict timeline.

📸 The focus is on natural expressions:
Milestone sessions are baby-led. I follow your baby’s cues, allowing time for smiles, curiosity, movement, and breaks when needed.

🎨 Simple setups tell a timeless story!
Clean, minimal setups keep the attention on your baby — their expressions, features, and personality — so your photos don’t feel dated years from now.

🤍 Each stage deserves to be remembered:
Newborn, sitter, crawler, or first birthday — every phase is fleeting and meaningful in its own way. Milestone sessions allow families to preserve more than just one moment in time.

👶 A calm experience matters!
A relaxed environment helps babies feel comfortable, which leads to more genuine expressions and images that truly reflect who they are.

If you’re wondering which milestone is right for your baby, I’m always happy to guide you.

Every birthday comes with a different smile, a different energy, a different story 🎉
That’s why no two sessions ever look the same—and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
