Little Sophia arrived a few weeks early and was just so itty bitty!  She gave me so many great smiles and was such a good little sleeper :)  I just love how her session turned out.  Enjoy!

Oh this little boy is so adorable!  And he has 4 older siblings that are going to take such good care of him :)  I love his cheeks and his rolls and he loves sticking the end of his little tongue out :)  So cute! Enjoy!

Alexander's parents are so absolutely in love with him!  And who could resist that hair and those cheeks and those rolls!!  Love!  He is absolutely adorable.  Enjoy!

Sweet Addison came to the studio for a newborn mini session and she rocked it! Mini sessions can be tricky because there isn't much time for me to soothe the baby or for mom to feed the baby, so it always is best if baby shows up asleep and stays asleep :)  And that is what Addison did!  She is absolutely beautiful.  Enjoy!

Sweet little Nora has the most beautiful skin tone, hair and lips!  Oh and those lashes :)  She's the 4th girl for mom and dad!  And they are all gorgeous so their daddy better be ready ;)  Enjoy!

This sweet little family came to see me again and besides pictures on Facebook, I haven't seen Jensen since his newborn session.  He is so adorable and I just can't get over his outfits that his mama put him in!  We did a little bit of Fall and a little bit of Christmas for his session.  Enjoy!

I was so excited to use this location!  I usually go to different Christmas tree farms around the Eugene area and I like the setup to look different every year.  And on my way out to Belknap Hot Springs this Summer, I drove past Spring Creek Holly Farm and thought it would be a gorgeous backdrop for my outdoor minis.  It has a beautiful white farmhouse and white fence around the property.  Dick and Martha, the owners, are just an adorable couple and they were so happy to share their beautiful piece of this Earth with myself and my clients :) I decided to do outdoor sessions in October this year and loved the idea of making a make-shift bedroom in the middle of a Holly Farm.  So of course that meant Christmas Jammies!  Which are actually very difficult to find in October!  But many of my clients were able to and I just loved how they turned out.  And it was a beautiful Fall day so perfect weather!  Santa was even available again this year and was happy about the earlier date as well s

My demand for Christmas minis is so high, that I decided to add a day of in-studio mini sessions.  This way I didn't have to worry about weather and was able to find a weekend that gave me enough time to edit the images so clients had them back in time to order Christmas cards.  I absolutely loved by backdrops and props for these sessions!  I think they turned out so adorable :)  Enjoy!

Erin and Eric are so excited Caleb's first Christmas and I loved being able to get some adorable shots of their little family and of Caleb.  Enjoy!
