Eugene and Springfield, Oregon Photographer: Spring Mini Sessions at Detering Orchards

I've always been envious of Salem and Portland photographers who can do beautiful sessions down by the water with the numerous cherry trees when they blossom.  Eugene doesn't have cherry trees like that and I really really wanted to do photo sessions with tree blossoms.  And then, an epiphany!  We have apple orchards!  And not just any apple orchards, but the beautiful Detering Orchards!  Last year I got a hold of the owner, Becky.  She is seriously just the sweetest woman!  She was so welcoming and I think as excited as I was for the photo sessions!  The only problem was I contacted her right after the trees blossomed.  So I had to wait almost an entire year.  But the time came, and with multiple days prior spent stressing about the weather, we got super duper lucky and had zero rain during all 10 sessions Saturday and Sunday!  It actually started down pouring as I was driving away after my last session on Sunday.  Yay!  So without further ado, here are pictures from each session.  I am so lucky to have such nice and beautiful clients :)  Enjoy!

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...
