Eugene, Oregon baby photographer: Cooper is ONE!



I am excited to reintroduce you to Cooper!

Isn’t that the cutest toothy grin you ever saw? Makes me laugh every time I look at it. He is such a handsome cowboy in his blue and red plaid shirt. 

Cooper is another little one that I photographed as a newborn, and, once again, it’s amazing how quickly time passes when kids are this age! I just shake my head at how much they change in such a short period of time. I really enjoyed having Cooper and his family in my Eugene, Oregon photography studio for another round of great pictures and great memories! 


Cooper’s dad has been a good friend of mine for many years. In fact, my husband and I named him godfather to our eldest daughter when she was born. So it was extra special to have him, his wife, and little Cooper in for Cooper’s one year baby and child photography session. They are such a sweet family and we got some great pictures. Of course, Cooper was the star of the show this time around, but he’s not going to be the only child for long! His mom and dad are expecting a new baby later this year (September, to be exact), and we made sure to get a photograph of the whole family, complete with sonogram pictures, to announce the coming arrival. I’m so excited for them! It’s such a thrilling experience to see a family grow and change. Life just gets better and better!

It will be interesting to see how Cooper reacts to a new sibling. It’s always an adjustment for the oldest kiddo to find that they have to share mom and dad’s love and attention. I think the bottom middle picture may be evidence that he has mixed feelings on the subject. What do you think? Only kidding. I’m sure Cooper will love the new baby when it comes, and that he will make an awesome big brother, too.

Cooper was an especially fun subject to photograph because he has such an expressive face. As I looked through the photos I realized that he seems to have a different expression in every picture: every time I thought he was out of new faces he pulled a new one. Do I sense a class clown in the making? We kept props to a minimum in this shoot, but Cooper’s wide range of facial expressions provided plenty of variety! No need to keep switching out props and backgrounds when you’ve got a face like his. He is such a funny little guy. I just love him. 

It is always a wonderful treat to have old friends in the studio. Cooper’s family and I had an amazing time together, and I am already looking forward to September, when I can use my skills as a newborn photographer to help them welcome the newest member of their growing family! I hope you’ve enjoyed the pictures—keep an eye out for more later this year!

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...
