Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Emmett!

This little guy was so precious! Sarah and Brian brought in their new cutie Emmett for newborn photos back in November. (I’m actually having a hard time believing we’re already through the first quarter of 2022! Is that just me?) He was a total sweetheart! Parents are always welcome to bring special items from home. In this case, mom and dad brought a colorful quilt that a family member had made. Even though our session took place in the fall, the quilt’s bright colors reminded me of spring! It also gave us a beautiful splash of color, since most of our photos were with all-white backgrounds. A blue beanbag and heart from my studio collection of props matched the quilt perfectly. Since this newborn photography session took place just a month before Christmas, mom and dad requested a holiday setup. This is always a fun option if your session takes place shortly before a major holiday like Christmas or Easter. It’s generally easy to work in just a single holiday-themed setup, and these k

Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Charlotte!

Erin and Dylan came to see me with their new baby girl, Charlotte, for newborn photos. She was so cute! I had met Erin before and it was great getting to know Dylan as well. Since both parents were there I convinced them to do family pictures even though they’d decided they were going to bypass those. A lot of times new parents feel super tired and are worried they don’t look their best, or they were too tired to get ready before their little one’s newborn photography session. We’ve all been there! New babies are a lot of work, but family is everything and I really believe it’s worth it to have photos with your little one no matter what. And, as I told Erin and Dylan, the beauty of digital images is that there’s no commitment. You can choose whether you want to purchase them or not, so there’s no harm in taking a few just in case! They ended up loving the family images as well, so I’m really glad we did those shots, even if it wasn’t quite according to plan. They will treasure those

Eugene, Oregon Newborn Photographer: Welcome Thiago!

Karla and Francisco brought in their new baby boy to my Eugene, Oregon photography studio. Isn’t he adorable? Their two older kiddos came too and we got some sibling and family photos, but I decided to just share some of the newborn-only shots today. Here are a few of the baby pics from Thiago’s newborn photography session. Enjoy! Thiago had the best hair! Tons of it, and so soft and fluffy! He was also super squishy, which I can’t resist. 😊 He slept great and was very easy to pose. We used cream, white, and blue for his pictures. What a dreamy color combo! It was perfect for my moon and stars props. And I also just happened to have a cowboy hat that we knew he would look amazing in. We were right! Whether you keep it simple with just a couple of swaddles or go all out with hats and outfits, it’s always fun to play dress up with these little guys.  There are so many options to choose from at the studio, so I’d definitely recommend that you take a look at my newborn gallery and past

Eugene Oregon Twin Newborn Photographer: Welcome Kash and Kenadee!

I’m so excited to share the photos from this twins newborn photography session! Corina and Joshua brought their new bundles of joy—a boy and a girl—to my Eugene, Oregon photography studio for pictures. Kenadee and Kash were absolutely adorable! Newborn photography with twins is always so much fun! For reasons of both safety and convenience, I have an assistant lend an extra hand when there are two babies. This ensures that both little ones are totally safe, secure, and comfortable through the entire process. Although my full newborn photo sessions come with the option of doing parent/sibling pictures, mom and dad wanted to just focus on the babies and not do any family images. Corina also told me she’s not a big fan of hats and headbands, so we kept it pretty simple. When it comes to color schemes for twins newborn photography, there are a ton of options—especially when you have a brother and sister! Dressing baby boy in blue and baby girl in pink is a popular choice, as is choosing g

Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Aila!

Aida and Aziz brought their gorgeous new baby daughter Aila to my photography studio in September. This little pumpkin was absolutely perfect! Many times clients will choose a single theme for their newborn photo session. But there’s no reason you can’t choose a couple! Mom asked for baby pictures with rainbow baby, moon and stars, and fall themes, and we were able to capture all of them. Aila was super cooperative as we changed setups, switched out props, and got her in and out of various swaddles. Since we were working with several different themes, we didn’t really stick to a particular color scheme. Mom just picked out whatever caught her eye and we ended up with a really fun and beautiful variety of pinks, purples, yellows, and neutral colors in addition to our themed pictures. When it comes to choosing colors and props, it really is all about how you’re going to use your finished newborn photos. Some people like to do complementary colors because they’re going to have several pho

Eugene Oregon cake smash photographer: Olive is ONE!

Happy first birthday, Olive! It was so fun to have this little sweetheart and her family back in my Eugene, Oregon photo studio again. I have been photographing this group ever since big sister Violet was a newborn. It’s been such a pleasure getting to know them and helping them capture the big milestones in their family’s life! This time we were celebrating their youngest daughter’s first birthday with a cake smash photography session. It was extra fun to have Jacoby and Violet with us too! For some reason, although I do a lot of cake smash sessions, it’s almost always just baby and parents who come to the studio. Maybe because they want the focus to be on the birthday boy or girl—but I think it’s a great idea to get family photos at the same time. After all, if you’ve got one kiddo being photographed already, what better time to get some adorable sibling photos, right? We even took a little time out to get individual portraits of all three kiddos plus some family shots. Olive was the

Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Bryson!

Happy New Year, everyone! I don’t know about you, but it felt to me like 2021 went by in the blink of an eye. I had so much keeping me busy as a mom and as a photographer—all great things, and I’m looking forward to new experiences and memories in 2022! The new year is a time for new beginnings, so what better way to start it off than with a post about a newborn photography session? As a photographer who specializes in newborns, I’m lucky enough to be reminded of the blessings of new life almost every day. It’s just one of the many reasons I love capturing the first days with these sweet little ones! Nakayla and Joseph brought new baby brother Bryson to my Eugene, Oregon photography studio along with older siblings Braxton and Brooklyn. This was the first time I’d met this family, and I loved them immediately! They were so sweet and loving with each other, and big brother and sister did an absolutely stellar job participating in their little brother’s newborn photos! I also loved the
