Mommy and Me Photo Session at Wind Wolves Preserve | Bakersfield Family Photographer

Posted in Children, family, Mommy and Me, Wildflowers

Such a fun session full of heart-melting moments of an adorable boy and his gorgeous mama. When I photographed them two years ago in a lemonade stand session, Darren was such a small baby. He was full of smiles back then, too.

I loved that he was so playful at our Wind Wolves Preserve session. The location was gorgeous as always, and of course Darren was looking forward to exploring it all. He climbed to the mountains and ran around like the happiest child in the whole world. And of course mommy-son cuddling moments were also so lovely and cute. It’s always so fun photographing them.

Our session started at Wind Wolves Preserve and ended in orange tree orchards. Take a look! :)

Bakersfield, California
Newborn, Baby, Maternity and Family Photographer

12 years ago, I picked up a camera and hoped for the best. 🤍

I had no idea what I was doing. I just knew that freezing a moment in time — a laugh, a look, a hand being held — felt like the most important thing in the world.

And somehow, twelve years later, it still does ❤️

To every mama who let me photograph her newborn at 7am. To every dad who said “I hate photos” and then cried when he saw them. To every grandma, every toddler, every family who trusted me with the moments that matter most — thank you.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you 🙏🏻❤️

This little business has changed my life. And I hope, in some small way, it’s changed yours too. 🥹

Here’s to year 13. I can’t wait to meet the families I haven’t photographed yet.

A typical week in my studio…
One shy smile
One toddler on the run
One baby deciding it’s nap time 🥰
… lots of moments with the little ones 💕✨

Every session moves at its own pace—pauses, resets, and all the in-between moments you don’t see.

And somehow… it all comes together into the sweetest memories ✨
