Babb Family Fall 2019 - Miss you guys so much and I hope I get a chance to come photograph you again soon!!

Hello Facebook World! It has been more than two years since I have posted here. Let's be honest, that last two years have really been different and I sort of took a backseat to photography and focused on my family and my kiddos to help them get through this wild and weird time. I am slowly creeping my way back into doing photography and want to share a few things I have worked on. I have kept photography connections with some of the coolest people and they deserve to have their photographs shared! Enjoy!

The whole reason I went to Bakersfield in September was to photograph some of my favorite people getting married. I wasn't going to miss this event for anything! Stephanie Cordova and I met years ago at another wedding I was photographing and I immediately connected with her and her sister Danielle Thompson. Stephanie is an insanely talented hairdresser and so I sit in her chair from time to time and she sits in front of my camera from time to time. If you know this family then you know how special and amazing they are. Then Stephanie met Mike Cordova and they made themselves the perfect little family. Mike is equally and thoughtful and sweet as his bride. I cried at least seven times throughout this day because of the beauty spoken and seen. (Thanks to you Ross Thompson) I wish you both the happiest marriage and life together and I can't thank you enough for including me in all these previous memories....ENJOY!

Oh my baby Penelope, could you be any more perfect?!?! Happy 6 months baby girl!! Leah Armstrong and Joe, you sure did make a beautiful, happy, and precious human. Thank you for sharing her with me. Enjoy!

Three times I have photographed this family in their home, and I honestly believe it gets better and better each time! Love you Richardson Family!! :) Alan Richardson Elizabeth Richardson

This beautiful mom-to-be is my husbands cousin (and mine too right?) and she has been through hell and back and back again. It is amazing to see her in this time of life and to witness her fighting daily for herself and now for this precious gift she carries. Can't wait to meet that sweet little miracle boy!

Our trip a month ago started out with meeting with friends in Disneyland and doing a fast and quick session. We were treated with an unusually quiet day at Disneyland. Jennifer Cantelmi- Barker is embarking on a new journey and she is the absolute best fit for this job. If you are ever planning anything Disney related for your next vacation, then she is your girl!! She knows and loves all things Disney and will help you to find the best deals out there while providing you with friendliest and happiest service. Check out her page and like it because she will be providing tips and deals that you don't want to miss!! Also, how adorable is her family?!?! Magical Vacation Planner by Jenny

Taking it back again to my time in Bakersfield...I had the honor of photographing my cousins beautiful family in their special place; their home. We did a fast quick shoot but in that short time, it was evident how much love flows through that home. Kara is a mother who loves unconditionally and gives her children the love, laughter, and support they need. Jason is a father who is attentive, playful, and supportive as well. These two kiddos are artistic, HILARIOUS, talented, and a blast to hang out with. Enjoy! Kara Michelle Coleman Jason Coleman

The past month has been INSANE and with work, homeschooling, and traveling, I haven't been able to post sessions I have delivered a month ago. Time to get back to it! These families were so awesome, they deserve the spotlight! Starting with this beautifully large family with equally large hearts. :)

My Bakersfield trip was fast a furious and I was able to fit in 10 family sessions and a beautiful wedding!! PHEW! I want to share these sessions because I have been a bit absent on here. :) First up is the sweet Salyer/Mashburn cousins. Bakersfield was a blistering 101 this day and it was muggy and humid. It was so sweet to watch these older boys take care of their little cousins and be so loving despite all the sweat and stickiness of it all. :) Aren't they all the cutest?!?!

Happy Summer Bakersfield!! I have finalized my travel dates and am headed your way this September. I will be booking sessions September 5th, 6th, and 8th. I would like to book as many in-home sessions as possible but understand if you want an outdoor session. Send me a message if interested. Please let me know if you are interested in a 15 min ($75), 30 min ($250), or 1 hour ($400). As always, you will get all your photographs delivered to you on your own website with color and black and whites.

I have said it before and I will say it again! I LOVE FAMILY SESSIONS AT HOME!! If you haven't had your family photographed at home, then stop what you are doing and message me. You need to have photos of your kiddos surrounded by their childhood! You will look back at these photos and remember all the things you loved about this stage you are in right now. I will be back to Bakersfield in September! :) Chelsey Hall I sure loved hanging with you guys!
