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.

Tis The Season

I can't believe it's almost Christmas! I feel like it's all happening so fast that I'm missing it! I have been so busy with family photos and Christmas cards, but it's coming to a close in the next few days and I will have a 2 week break to enjoy with my kiddos. There is so much work involved in a photo shoot and the majority of it is at my computer. Don't get me wrong, I totally love it but it does take a lot of time from my family. Next year I will be starting much earlier with Christmas pictures and not overloading myself at the end.... that's what I've learned so far this year!
I have a lot of photo ops planned for the new year. I plan to take a beach trip in February and schedule beach sessions for that time. Then we have the awesome wild flowers that show up in the foothills in March. Followed by Easter photos which I hope to have real bunnies for, then Senior pictures over the summer as well as another beach trip, which will take us into early fall when I will be starting family sessions for Christmas 2010! See how time flies? And of course all the other day to day sittings in between. I will be doing some pregnancy pictures soon.... which leads to newborn pics. Also, coming soon is little girls in tutu's! Lots of color! So fun & exciting. I can't wait to see my own creations. If any of the above photo ops interest you, make sure you email me so I can put you on my list of people to notify. I will be announcing the beach sitting very soon and have only a few spaces, so I'm sure they will go fast. I'm working on a package deal and pricing, as well as exact dates now. So, stay tuned. :)
Something NEW that I am so excited about is my new website!!! www.aprilcooperphotography.com If you haven't seen it yet, go there next. With my site I can now post my clients pictures in a proofing gallery for them to see, make print selections to order and pay using PayPal (allows you to use your credit card) or make arrangements to pay me directly. It's so easy to use!
I want to thank all of you who have allowed me in your life to "capture your moments." Each photo sitting leaves me inspired and gives me great ideas to carry on with me. This has happened so fast, it's unbelievable! But, it's been a great creative outlet for me during this crazy year I've had. I want to wish you all a very Blessed Christmas! I'm going to leave you with some of my favorite photos I've done recently.... enjoy!=)
