Welcome

Thanks for visiting my blog! I am a newborn, child, & family photographer in Bakersfield, California. I am also mom to 2 gorgeous little girls and a part time L&D nurse. It's a busy life, but I wouldn't change it.

Catching Up...

Where does the time go? I have been so busy lately! Delivering babies at the hospital, taking pictures for people, and trying to keep up with my own family! I'm really enjoying my photography sessions. I've got to see friends that I haven't seen in a long time, which is so nice. I've been having a hard time falling asleep at night because my mind just races with new ideas I want to try with my pictures... if only there were more time in a day.
I am working on a logo or just a cute way to write my name, to watermark my pictures with and to use for letterheads, business cards, etc. I wasn't planning on starting a business when I started my photography classes... I just wanted to take great pictures of my kids ... but one thing has led to another and it looks like I'm becoming a photographer! I have been flooded with requests to take pictures for people I've never even met! And of course several requests from my friends too. It's very exciting. Thanks to everyone for your support and feedback, it really means a lot to me. Be sure to check out my facebook photography page too, there is a link on the upper right side of this page. I post more pictures over there because the upload is much faster.
Other things I'm working on are Christmas photo cards, photo package deals, and price sheets. Everyone wants to know how much? I'm working on something I can post. I am also planning to start a website if things continue to stay busy for me. So check back often. :)

I'm leaving you with a card I just created for my friend Janie. I used the pictures of our pumpkin patch shoot. She's a cutie! Click the image to enlarge it.


Pumpkin Patch!

I absolutely love fall. It is my favorite season. I love the warm smells of baking with cinnamon & spices, the warm fall colors, the bright pumpkins, the cooler weather.... I love it all. Each year I look forward to taking pictures out at Banducci's pumpkin patch. It is so darn cute out there! This year was even more exciting since I know how to use my camera now! Here are a few of the many pictures I snapped the other day. Did I mention that I have the cutest kids ever? I know I am a little biased. ;)






Twins Birth Announcement

Here is another style of birth announcement that I put together for the twin boys, Chance & Jonathan, I photographed last week. :)



Birth Announcement...

I am in the proces of designing templates for birth announcements and holiday cards, so now is a great time to get family photos done that I can put right into a Christmas Card for you. Here is a birth announcement I just did for baby Rider. It is designed in a perfect 5x5 square and is ready to be printed. Click on it to see the details.


I am so excited that fall is here... it's my favorite season. More exciting is taking pictures at Banducci's Pumpkin Patch! I take Emma there every year. The bright pumpkins make for the cutest pics. I'm excited to take Sophia too this year, she is 10 months now and I know she is going to love slapping those pumpkins. I'll post the pictures I take so keep checking back!

Sneak Peak for the Dahl's...





Chance & Jonathan....Twins!

My friend Lisa just had twin grandsons and I had the pleasure of photographing them. Newborns are the perfect subjects... when they are sound asleep! I'm learning that getting & keeping them asleep isn't easy. With twins you have to coordinate their sleep, which wasn't really happening so I only got one good picture of them together. Below there are several individual shots of both boys, though you probably won't be able to tell them apart. Thanks to Lisa and her daughter Leah for letting me "practice" on their precious babies. Also, big sis Zoe was a great model and I got some shots of her too.
