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

Every day comes with choices…This dress or that one? One more coffee or call it a day? 😄But here’s the thing—The little choices we make (with heart, humor, and maybe a bit of indecision) shape the life we’re creating.So choose what feels good. Choose what brings peace.And if all else fails—choose the cuter dress. 😉💛What kind of choice are you making today—big or small?.#melodiphotography #bakersfieldportraitphotographer #bakersfieldbabyphotographer #bakersfieldnewbornphotographer #bakersfieldfamilyphotographer

Tiny toes, sleepy yawns, squishy cheeks… and those little smiles that melt your heart. Every session is a reminder of how fleeting these early days are—and I get to freeze them in time for families to hold onto forever. 💛Honestly? I love what I do. And I’m so grateful I get to do it. 🙏🏻#melodiphotography #bakersfieldnewbornphotographer #bakersfieldbabyphotographer #babyphotographer #newbornphotography #lovemyjob #tinyhumansbiglove #bakersfieldphotographer
