Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Twins Kellyn and Quinn!

Betty Lou, Shawn, and big sister Josie brought their new twins to my photography studio in Eugene, Oregon last month for a twin newborn photography session! Kellyn (a little boy) and Quinn (a little girl) were so good for me and my assistant, Kim. They were amazing little sleepers and both slept almost the entire way through the session, with only one short break for eating. 

I’ve been looking forward to having these two in the studio for months now. Doing Betty Lou’s maternity photographs and a Fresh48 session at the hospital shortly after the twins were born just made me anticipate this newborn session even more, so I’m really glad it went so well. Kellyn and Quinn are so cute, and I loved all the photographs we got of them. 

Betty Lou really wanted gray, aqua, and coral for our color scheme, to match the twins’ nursery, so those are the main colors we went with. It must be a challenge designing a colorful nursery for a boy and a girl at the same time, but I think Betty did a great job. These colors are beautiful together. For several of the pictures we used aqua for Kellyn and coral for Quinn. It’s easy to tell who is who, but the colors make it even easier! I like that the aqua and coral give a nod to the traditional blue for boys and pink for girls, but that they’re a touch different, and not so strong that the color scheme looks either too masculine or feminine. 

As a newborn photographer I always have plenty of props in my studio, and we used a few for this session, but we mostly used the props that Shawn and Betty Lou brought with them. Shawn is a police officer, so we incorporated his uniform, duty belt, and hat into some of our photographs, and he also wore his uniform for part of our session. Betty Lou is a firefighter, so we also included her boots and helmets. They are such great people, serving their community and keeping everyone safe. I admire them and am so grateful for their service! Josie, Kellyn, and Quinn are lucky to have such amazing parents. 

Josie was adorable with her new baby brother and sister. She was really gentle with them and so good about posing for pictures with her family. I think little Quinn is going to look a lot like her. 

When I blogged about their Fresh 48 session I think I mentioned that Kellyn was quite a bit bigger than Quinn. (A little greedy about food before he was born!) Quinn has done a great job catching up over the last few weeks, but she’s still got a little ways to go. Even my scale prop can tell the difference!

I’ve enjoyed every minute I’ve spent with this family, and this twin newborn photography session was wonderful. I’m so lucky to be a Eugene, Oregon photographer and get to spend time with incredible people like this!
