Eugene Springfield, Oregon Newborn Photographer: Katie Anderson Photography 1:1 Mentoring Session

I had the amazing experience this past week of a 1:1 Mentoring Session with the wonderful Katie Anderson Photography in Salem, Oregon.  We scheduled months ago and I have been anxiously waiting for the date to finally arrive!  For about an hour we talked business, pricing and did some prepping for the sessions.  Katie had 2 models coming in for us with lunch in between sessions and we had about an hour at the end to go over some editing and more business talk.  It was just a great opportunity for me and I'm so glad I did it.  And so glad we snapped some pictures of each other while hard at work :)  Thanks Katie!

Forrest and his mama arrived and we got working on parents shots right away.  Katie has an adorable studio in downtown Salem and she just set up a bed so we wanted to use it for sure :)  Forrest's mama, Sam, was just adorable inside and out and she was a joy to photograph.  Forrest woke up when we were posing him on the bean bag so we did some awake shots.  But he didn't want to go back to sleep!  Little stinker.  He was just so adorable though.

After a delicious lunch from Wild Pear courtesy of Katie, we had baby Lauren, her parents and her sweet big sister Emma in the studio.  Lauren slept like a dream and Emma was an amazing and adorable little model for us!

Eugene and Springfield, Oregon Newborn Photographer: Welcome Bennett

Sweet little Bennett is so lucky to have such a great family.  His big brother is absolutely adorable and his parents are just so nice :)  I thoroughly enjoyed my time with them!  Bennett is an alert little guy!  He wants to be awake and look at my light and take everything in around him :)  Reminds me of my older daughter.  Enjoy!

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...
