Eugene, Oregon baby and child photographer: 6-month mini with Bennett!

Amy and Kyle brought Bennett back to my Eugene, Oregon photography studio for his six-month mini milestone session. I photographed him as a newborn and it was great to see him again! He is such a character and a total show-off in front of the camera! Our session went way too fast. I could have spent all day taking pictures of this sweetie!

I loved the cute and colorful dinosaur outfit Bennett wore for our baby photography session. It set the tone for a fun, bright session, and that’s exactly what we did. We incorporated my multi-colored raindrop background for an extra splash of color (pardon the pun—I couldn’t resist), and a beautiful rainbow blanket. It turned out great and was exactly what we were looking for. All the colors give it such a happy, cheerful feel. Bennett is also a rainbow baby, so it was appropriate in that way as well. I think incorporating rainbows is a wonderful way to remember and honor an older sibling who has passed on. After the storm comes a rainbow—and Bennett is one of the brightest rainbows I know!

The bright colors really do reflect Bennett’s personality. He is such a happy baby and his smile just lights up the room! He did a wonderful job for me and was so good throughout the entire baby photography session. Occasionally I’ll get a six-month-old who is fussy or overstimulated by the new environment, but not Bennett. He had a great time and I loved watching him giggle and grin for the camera. I remember he was super easy for his newborn pictures too, so he’s been a very contented little guy right from the get-go.

Bennett is getting to that age where he’s figuring out how to scootch around on his tummy and move from point A to point B without mom and dad’s help. He’s not quite there yet, but I have a feeling he’s going to be quite the little adventurer once he’s mastered the whole locomotion thing. Look out, mom and dad—nothing is ever the same once a baby works out how to cruise around on their own!

We used my wooden airplane and hollow log props to add an extra element of fun to our six-month photos. Bennett loved laying on his belly on top of the airplane (with a nice cushy blanket to keep him comfortable, of course), and gave me the most adorable expressions.

I’m looking forward to being the baby photographer for this young man again in a few months, when we’re planning to have him back in the studio for one-year photos. It is so rewarding to connect with amazing families like this one, and to watch these precious kiddos grow. To me, my work as a Eugene, Oregon photographer is much more than a career: it’s an art form, a passion, and a gift I’m blessed to share with others. I love forging a special relationship with my clients and celebrating these exciting milestones with them!
