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 […]

If you look at all my blog posts, you might remember that last year I did a wedding for the sweeetessstttt couple–Jami and Derric. Their son Caleb is now a senior, and having known him since we were both kids, it’s surreal thinking of him being so mature now. Caleb has big aspirations of being […]

I’ve taken photos for the Force family a couple of times now, and this session was quite a bit sweeter than the previous ones. This session, after all, was with their newest addition–Avella Kay. She is the tiniest bundle of adorable baby goodness. From her toes to all the folds of her skin, she is […]

Beckkkiee!!! Let me start by saying that I love the Patrick family. I have known them since I was a kid, and I’ve been amazed at how many times they’ve popped into my life since. What. A. Good. Family. It’s surreal to think that I already did Beckie’s sister Hannah’s senior photos and even more […]

I have to start this blog by saying that I ADORE the Taylors! Every member of their family is kind and full of joy. They have been welcoming of me into their home many times, their kids always give the best hugs, and Sophie is one of my favorite people! Her joy is infectious, and […]

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, […]

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. This time of year, Bakersfield is green, lush, and clear. You can […]
