My brother and sweet sister in law just moved back to California to the coast, and I am over the moon! For those of you who have followed me since the beginning of my professional journey here, you’ll know Cindy used to be my business partner. She is one of my closest friends, an amazing […]

Bakersfield has been absolutely breathtaking recently. This rain has brought out the shapes and full detail in the mountains surrounding our valley, color form the landscapes, little flowers in the fields, and clear skies. The Force family made the scenery even more stunning. There really was no better time for family photos! Little Vander’s smiles, […]

There must be something in the valley air because so many engagements have been happening! I love it. Dani and Easton go to my church here in Bakersfield, and after church one Sunday, Easton approached me about photographing his proposal to Dani. There’s nothing quite as sweet as the ear to ear grin of a […]

Going to a client’s home is always super special for me, but going to a client’s home in another state?? Insane. This client also happens to be one of my wonderful brothers and his wife, so I’d go any distance for that. If you were here from my early days of business, you’ll remember Cindy […]

The Bakersfield hills were truly alive as Julie Andrews would sing. Kate and Christopher are such good friends of mine, and it would be really easy to sit behind my computer and gush over them endlessly. So I’ll try not to do that.

There’s nothing quite like a sunset of many colors. These downtown Bakersfield senior pictures had colorful skies and smiles to last forever. I’ve known Hannah for a pretty long time. So long, in fact, that I can’t even remember when I met her. I just know we were both youth. I might’ve been in junior […]

Hart Park is always a sweet place for photos here in Bakersfield. While it was pretty chilly outside this particular day, the Grissom family braved the air for the portraits. It was a joy to see the dynamic of their family play out in their interactions with one another. Laurie is truly the rock of […]

It was such a joy to be able to photograph the Schoneveld family for a second time. The last time I took photos for them, I had just started my business. It was definitely exciting getting to see them all again! With everyone in town for Thanksgiving, the cool fall air, and a beautiful home, […]

Hart Park in Bakersfield, California is my favorite place to take my clients locally. In the fall, this is especially true. When you scroll through this blog, I know you’ll see why! The soft colors of the trees and the unbeatable sunset is one of the many reasons I adore the park at this time […]
