Being a Newborn Photographer | Bakersfield Newborn Photographer

Growing up I did not foresee myself being a “Newborn Photographer” or any photographer at that. (Did I mention that I have a Master’s degree in Education?) But it has definitely become a great passion of mine.  I just love everything about newborn babies and photographing them. That “newborn-ness” is just so precious and sweet… I feel so grateful that parents choose me to photograph their babies at one of the most important stage of their lives.

I love it when I get to cuddle with teeny tiny babies, and witness the powerful love that exists between the parents and their new little bundle of joy. It also just melts my heart when I see the pure joy older siblings have for their new ones. My clients get all teary eyed when they view the images I’ve created for them.  They leave my studio so happy and excited. I truly feel very honored.

Besides my love for newborn photography..

When you book a session with me, you can book it with confidence that not only am I a legal business operating here in California, but I am qualified, experienced (especially with properly & safely handling newborns and babies) and always like to be prepared. I carry insurance to cover my equipment of course, but more importantly- the safety of my clients and their little ones. In life, you can never be too safe, or too prepared, and I fully believe in being better safe than sorry. I am trained in properly handling and posing newborns/babies to safely get them into the desired poses all while keeping baby comfortable and relaxed/asleep, in knowing how to recognize or respond to a baby that may be in an uncomfortable pose/position, as well as ensuring their overall safety at all times. If you have any questions about any of my posing methods, safety practices or anything else, please do not hesitate to email me..

I look forward to hearing from you!

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. 📍 Bakersfield, CA — link in bio to book your session.
