Shanna Chess Photography

My girls and I headed up to Washington again in May to visit family and take my nephew Harrison’s 9-month photos. My daughters absolutely adore their little cousin, and there was no way they were going to miss a chance to see him! He has gotten so big since our last visit in February. He has crawling down to a science and is always on the move! With some help from his mom and dad he’s also figuring out walking. It was so cute to watch him take those unsteady baby steps, clinging to his parents’ fingers, and with the biggest grin on his face! Harrison is such a little daredevil already too. Nothing scares him and he’s ready to try it all—especially if it’s edible!

It was so fun to see Amber, Grant, and the girls in my Eugene, Oregon photography studio last month! I have been photographing this family since Goldie was a year old, and they’ve been coming to me regularly at least once a year ever since. I’ve done family, milestone, and baby photography for them, and most recently did a maternity and then a newborn shoot as they welcomed their second daughter, Glory, to the family.

I was so excited to see Miss Arabella again for her one-year baby photography session a few weeks ago. I photographed her as a newborn (be sure to check out some of the photos from her session here ), and she was such a sweet baby. When Tanya and Don contacted me about doing some milestone photos for their family I was delighted that I would get to see them all again.

Brandi brought in adorable Macie last month for a four-year-old milestone mini session. I’ve been the Eugene, Oregon photographer for this family ever since Macie was born, and have photographed this little girl and her brother on multiple occasions, as well as doing maternity sessions for mom when she was expecting each of them. It was great to have Macie in the studio again for some special birthday photos!

Dustin and Angela brought their adorable new son Luca to my Eugene, Oregon photography studio last month for newborn pictures. What a sweetheart! He was a few weeks early so we adjusted our schedules a little bit to get him in. I was more than happy to do whatever it took to meet this cute little guy!

I was so happy to see this family again and to finally meet Amanda’s husband, Jared. Last time Amanda just brought the kids to the studio, so it was wonderful to have everyone together for this family photography session.

Cassi, Chuck, Anna, and Christian brought new baby Ava to the studio last month for a newborn photography session. I was so excited to meet her, and to have the whole family in my Eugene, Oregon photography studio . Cassi and Christian were the only ones who were able to make it to Cassi’s maternity session back in February, so it was wonderful to have the whole family together for pictures.
