Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Christian


Everyone, please welcome Christian! He is such a cute little guy, as you can see. Enjoy the photos!

This sweet baby boy and his parents came into my photography studio in Eugene, Oregon near the end of January for a newborn photography session. They are a beautiful family and it was a pleasure to work with them and to record this beginning of the great adventure for his mom and dad. It is an amazing and awe-inspiring experience to become a parent! I only spent a short while with them, but I could tell they’re going to do great.

I love Christian’s little gray onesy outfit with the fluffy tassels. Isn’t that just the cutest thing? For some reason it reminds me of Maurice Sendak’s beloved children’s story, Where the Wild Things Are. Unlike the chaos-causing Max, the protagonist in the bedtime story, Christian was extremely cooperative and happy to go to sleep in any setting whatsoever! At this point, I don’t think he has a wild bone in his little body. We’ll see as he gets older! That smile has a touch of mischief in it, if you ask me.

I also loved this cute little cowboy boot setup. With that look of intense concentration on his face, I think Christian might be dreaming about the future day when he’s big enough to rope cattle. Hold your horses, Christian. I think you’ve got a ways to go yet, little cowboy. Take a look at the upper left-hand photo below, as well. He may not be old enough to tie a lasso, but he can still wear cowboy boots. He pulls off that look spectacularly, I might add.

I really liked the blues and browns that Christian’s parents chose for the color scheme. I think they go together really well, and are great for a little boy.

As a newborn photographer, I have a passion for capturing those moments of brand new babyhood, but I also love highlighting the relationships of the families that new babies are born into. I could tell Christian has a wonderful mom and dad, and it was great to have an opportunity to catch the special relationship of parent and child on camera. We got individual shots of Christian with his mom and dad, as well as one with the whole family, and they all turned out beautifully. I think Christian’s going to grow up to look just like his daddy, what do you think?

Look at that cherubic little face. And those tiny toes! It doesn’t get much better than a sleeping baby. 

It was a pleasure to work with Christian and his mom and dad during this newborn photography session. They are a beautiful little family, and this is such an exciting time for them as they begin their life together. I was honored to be invited to record the momentous and life-changing occasion of Christian being welcomed into the world and into his family. 

I hope you’ve enjoyed the photos. Stop by again soon!

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...
