Mama & Son


This dreamy motherhood session at Blooming Ridge Ranch in Cherry Valley,CA was filled with golden light, blooming lilacs, and sweet moments between a mama and her little boy. As a family photographer based in Beaumont, CA, I’m always excited to discover hidden Inland Empire gems like this that make capturing real connection a total joy.


Some photo sessions just hit different—and this one at Blooming Ridge Ranch was exactly that. I found Blooming Ridge about a month before this shoot, and after walking the property and seeing how the light moved through the trees and fields, I knew I had to plan a session there.


As a family photographer, I'm always on the lookout for unique Inland Empire locations that feel a little like an escape—and this spot delivered big time. So I put out a model call (because my clients are seriously the best and always show up when I need them), and this amazing mama reached out. She was so down to go with the casual western chic vibe I was dreaming up—she even bought outfits to match the look! Her white dress and the cutest cowboy boots were everything, and her little guy was just the sweetest. He was totally happy to run around, play, and just be himself while we explored the ranch.


It was the height of the lilac bloom, and wow… the flowers were stunning. The light at Blooming Ridge Ranch is truly something else. It peeks through the trees and lilac bushes in a way that honestly feels heaven sent. We wandered the property, said hi to the horses, and just leaned into the magic of it all.


The best part? This session didn’t feel like a shoot. It felt like a quiet evening where a mama and her son got to slow down and just enjoy each other. Laughing, cuddling, chasing each other through the field—and me, just tagging along with my camera, capturing the little moments that tell the big story.


Motherhood sessions like this one are why I love what I do. If you're in Beaumont or anywhere in the Inland Empire and have been thinking about capturing this season with your babies, I’d love to help you freeze those moments before they slip away. Let’s make some magic.


With love & grace,

Heidi
