Support For a Good Cause | Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

As a family, baby and children’s photographer (in Bakersfield, CA), I’ve been privileged to witness countless precious moments frozen in time through my lens. For over a decade, I’ve had the honor of documenting the laughter, the curious glances, and the tender embraces of babies and children. And every photo I take reminds me to cherish fleeting moments and celebrates the resilience of youth.

But amidst these smiles, there’s a harsh reality: childhood leukemia. It’s a devastating diagnosis, but organizations like the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society offer hope in the darkness.

Leukemia, as the #1 most diagnosed form of childhood cancer, is a formidable foe. But through the efforts of organizations like the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, strides are being made in research, treatment, and support for affected families.

I humbly ask for your support in this endeavor. Whether through donations, sharing this campaign, or simply spreading awareness, your contribution can make a difference in the lives of children battling leukemia. Together, we can be a beacon of hope for those in need, offering comfort, support, and ultimately, the promise of a brighter tomorrow.

Join me in capturing hope – one photograph, one smile, and one step closer to a world free from childhood leukemia. Together, we can make a difference.

All donations are greatly appreciated and tax-deductible. You can follow this link to my fundraising page: https://pages.lls.org/voy/cca/bako24/iataman

On behalf of leukemia patients everywhere, thank you for your support.

With gratitude,

Ipek Ataman

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.📍 Bakersfield baby photographer📅 Now booking baby milestone sessions
