HI, I AM GABY HERNDON
Your Bakersfield photographer, storyteller, and calm presence behind the camera.
Thank you for stopping by! I’m a Bakersfield-based photographer serving Kern County and beyond. I’m a Mexican-born Latina, a wife, a mom, a lover of Jesus, and someone who has always found joy in traveling and documenting the beauty around me.
My love for photography began while living abroad in Spain in 2014. I loved capturing the places I visited and the everyday moments along the way. Although photography became a passion of mine then, I didn’t officially start my photography business until 2022. I began part-time while working in higher education, a career I genuinely loved and where I had the opportunity to serve my community.
In early 2026, I took the leap and began pursuing photography full-time. Today, photography gives me a sense of peace and purpose, and I feel incredibly grateful to turn something I love into a career.
I believe photographs are about more than just creating beautiful images. They allow us to hold onto the people, places, and moments that matter long after they’ve passed. My hope is to create timeless photographs that feel true to you and bring you back to how it felt to be there.
I’d love the opportunity to connect, hear your story, and capture a season of life that you’ll want to remember.
