Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Knox!

Brittanie and Colby welcomed their new son in early March, and I was so glad to see them in the studio a couple of weeks later! I did Brittanie’s maternity session before baby’s arrival, and I’ve been looking forward to meeting him ever since. He was totally worth the wait. Little Knox was one of the cutest babies I’ve photographed: he was just a little ball and so squishy! It was impossible not to fall completely in love with him. We got lots of great photographs during this newborn photography session and I’m so excited to share them with all of you! They turned out great. 

Knox was a hungry little guy for some of our session, so we had to pause a couple times so he could get some food into his tummy. Once his belly was full though he was happy to cooperate and slept like a champ. During one of his snack breaks he even stayed awake long enough to let me take a picture of his beautiful gray-blue baby eyes. Isn’t he such a handsome fella? I love that his hair has that little tinge of red! I’m guessing that will darken pretty quickly as he grows, but it’s sure adorable while it lasts. 

We stayed very basic with our color scheme for this newborn photography session: almost entirely grays, with an occasional splash of blue or green; and cream, black, and white for the photos of Knox with his mom and dad. I love how the family photos turned out. Brittanie, Colby, and Knox look so perfect together.

Since this is Eugene and our resident sports team is the Oregon Ducks, we had to incorporate a sporty baseball cap for our little man to wear. Dad wanted to make sure Knox had his sports loyalties in place right from the get go, and as a Eugene, Oregon photographer I was happy to oblige! I have to say, Knox looks great in green. 

We also got a photo of him with a Seattle Mariners cap, which we included in our collage below. He’s got a bit of growing to do still before that particular cap will fit him!

I think my favorite photo in the collage is the one on the lower left. Seriously. Are those not the best cheeks you’ve ever seen?

Our gray color scheme made it perfect to include a fuzzy Where the Wild Things Are outfit. He looks so precious in it! I don’t doubt that he will become more of a wild thing as he grows and will keep his mom and dad very busy—but for now he is a pretty mellow baby, content to eat and sleep and let his parents love on him to their hearts’ content. 

I enjoyed every minute I spent with Knox and his parents in my photography studio in Eugene, Oregon. They are such a wonderful family, super easy to work with, and very photogenic! What newborn photographer could ask for a better combination?
