Friends!! This is a VERY special blog because it’s about two of my very favorite people. In high school, I was a proud choir nerd. In choir, I happened to meet this confident, funny, beautiful, and fiery girl named Jamie. Both of us were sopranos, and our friendship began there. We shared many a bus […]

Elizabeth is a new friend–and what a sweet friend she is! She and her husband Seth are recent members of the church I go to here in Bakersfield. I was overjoyed when she asked if I could photograph her for her maternity session!! She has gracefully walked through pregnancy, and I know she will make […]

Taking photos for any couple is special–but taking photos for a couple I adore and admire is a different type of special. Moonstone beach, cloudy skies, a perfect sunset, and the holidays around the corner. This session was just gorgeous. Sarah and Jim are honest, loving, kind, and welcoming people. They are the type of […]

What a d r e a m y session this one was. Lindsey and Chad are such a sweet couple–and maternity sessions are special on their own every time. They met back in 2018 when they found common ground on their phase of life, and actually, Lindsey’s brother is responsible for them meeting. The location […]

I can’t believe how quickly my pregnancy has flown by. As I’m writing this, I’m just over 35 weeks pregnant. It’s so amazing to think that my baby boy will be here soon! I talk about my son every day, and even still, the words “my son” isn’t natural yet. I am so beyond excited […]

Ahhhhh!!! The love I have for the people featured in today’s blog post is about to gush out all over the page. Daniel is one of my brothers, and his perfect family is the focus of this post. His wife Connie wanted to get maternity photos done for her second little boy since she didn’t […]

By Sarah Barrett. We absolutely love this time of year. Hart Park is green again, flowers are blooming, and the temperature outside is perfect. With Bakersfield heat quickly approaching, we are savoring this weather while we can. It was definitely a great day for portraits. Meeting Emily and Ryan for their maternity session was so […]

By Cindy Tomlinson. Today, JD and I are celebrating our five year wedding anniversary. For those of you that don’t know, we took our wedding pictures in an almond orchard here in Bakersfield. I’ve always loved these beautiful white blossoms that only come once a year. I knew if we were going to take anniversary […]
