Say hello to Evan!
This adorable baby boy came in to my photography studio in Eugene, Oregon with his mom, dad, and older
sister for a newborn photography
session around the middle of January. It was a pleasure working with him and
his family! Evan was a happy little guy, as you can see, and did a great job
during the session. Don’t you love that cheeky smile? Whatever he’s dreaming, I
sure wish I could see it!
As well as being happy and well-behaved, Evan is as handsome
as they come. I love his soft, thick, brown hair—there’s so much of it! The
brown overalls don’t hurt any either. He has the cutest little nose, and his
contented grin is contagious—I dare you not to smile whenever he does! He just
looks so darned happy…with maybe just a touch of mischief in there too. Look
out, mom and dad!
Evan’s parents chose a Paddington Bear theme for his nursery—such
a cute idea for a little boy—so we made sure to tie that in with his session
using teddy bears (including the marmalade-loving, duffel coat-wearing Paddington
Bear himself), a suitcase, and the tree stump. We also used a soft yellow
blanket in the tree stump, reminiscent of another famous bear’s love of honey,
and of Paddington’s partiality to marmalade. And, of course, no bear theme
would be truly complete without a hat with bear ears. There’s no danger of this
little guy getting left behind at Paddington Station…it’s tough to even take
your eyes off this much cuteness!
We also squeezed in some baby and child photography during the session, featuring Evan and
his sister, as well as a nice family shot. They look fantastic together, don’t
they? It was especially fun to watch Evan’s big sister interact with him. She
clearly loves her new baby brother to pieces, and it was sweet to see how
gentle she was with him. Evan is lucky to have such a wonderful sis, and I’m
sure she’ll do a great job looking after him as he gets older. It was a treat
for me to capture their budding relationship as siblings.
We used an
old-fashioned baby buggy for Evan to snooze in while his sister posed for the
shots. Aren’t they so sweet together? I love her frilly dress and golden curls.
She is really a beautiful little girl. I think these brother and sister photos
have a somewhat Victorian feel, which is obviously a bit earlier than
Paddington’s era, but still ties in nicely with the gently retro/British feel
of this newborn photography shoot.
It was a real pleasure having Evan and his parents and
sister in the studio with me. I love my job as a newborn photographer and I think with these pictures it’s easy to
see why. I am so lucky to be able to spend my days with wonderful families and adorable
babies, and to use my skills as a photographer in such a rewarding way! I hope
you enjoy the photos!
