There’s nothing more fun than getting a message asking if I have last minute availability for a session that ends up working out perfectly. I don’t photograph in downtown Bakersfield that often in the winter, so this shoot ended up being *extra* fun in that regard. My friend, Cindy, ended up asking if I had […]

It is such an honor every time someone reaches out about newborn photos. It’s such an intimate time in a couple’s life, and it’s a joy to be able to step in and photograph it all. Luke was such a snuggly little sweetheart. He loves his time with mama, and his dad and brother adore […]

Taking family photos for friends is always something I enjoy, but this one was a little *extra* fun. Shot at a family property in Shafter, this session went so well! The sun set beautifully over the orchard trees and vineyard, but the real standout was getting to watch Seth and Elizabeth interact with one another, […]

It’s time for some previews for my dear friends, the Harmans. The Harman family are some of the most genuine people I’ve met. They’re hospitable, kind, generous, and fun. They make time for countless people in the community and their church. Rossely has become a dear friend since we both have boys around the same […]

I have to say that I’m quite nervous about today’s post. It’ll either be a hit, or a flop, haha. Addy is the absolute SWEETEST senior, and she specially requested a glowy edit to her photos. It was really fun pushing my creative limits to edit these for her. The sunset at Hart Park that […]

It’s a joy to spend time with the Taylors! Every member of their family is kind, sweet, funny, and full of life. Sophie and Andrew are the best people, and it’s obvious that they’re the reason their children are the wonderful people they are. To the Taylor family, I hope you love your pictures this […]

You might remember Elizabeth and Seth from their maternity shoot not too far back–and I’m so excited to be sharing their sweet boy’s newborn photos today! Seeing two people become parents for the first time is one of the many special parts of life. The exhaustion and daze of it all melts when that baby […]

Hart Park for Mother’s Day photos? Yes pleaseee! Have you ever thought of booking a photoshoot with your family as a gift for your mom? It is SUCH a good idea. Moms are constantly taking photos but rarely get to be in them. It’s a stereotype that is all too true. When one of these […]

One of my favorite parts of this job is the variety of things I get to shoot. When Maggie reached out to me to ask if I could take photos of her daughter playing piano, I got so excited! If you know me, you know my dad owns a music store, and I’ve grown up […]

Lifestyle newborn sessions are always so sweet. There’s nothing quite like a scrunchy and adorable little one who commands all the attention. Sweet little Asa was born to his parents, Suhaytie and Tim, and he and mama certainly went through a lot to get him here. Because of a difficult and unexpected birth journey, this […]
