Eugene, Oregon Baby, Child and Family Photographer: Christmas Minis at the Holly Farm

I was so excited to use this location!  I usually go to different Christmas tree farms around the Eugene area and I like the setup to look different every year.  And on my way out to Belknap Hot Springs this Summer, I drove past Spring Creek Holly Farm and thought it would be a gorgeous backdrop for my outdoor minis.  It has a beautiful white farmhouse and white fence around the property.  Dick and Martha, the owners, are just an adorable couple and they were so happy to share their beautiful piece of this Earth with myself and my clients :)

I decided to do outdoor sessions in October this year and loved the idea of making a make-shift bedroom in the middle of a Holly Farm.  So of course that meant Christmas Jammies!  Which are actually very difficult to find in October!  But many of my clients were able to and I just loved how they turned out.  And it was a beautiful Fall day so perfect weather!  Santa was even available again this year and was happy about the earlier date as well since he gets busier the closer to Christmas we get!

I was so pleasantly surprised by the holly trees.  I guess I always imagined them as bushes, but when I visited the farm to figure out where I was going to set up, I saw they are huge!  Tall as the evergreen trees in our backyard :)  Which is great in providing shade for midday sun.

I am already planning my sessions for next year!  I just love doing these and I know my clients love them as well.  Just remember, I open them up to current clients first and I have sold out in HOURS the last 2 years and new clients don't even get a chance to book.  So if you want the in for next year, make sure to schedule a session for this year so you'll get on my client list ;)  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...
