Please join me in welcoming baby Brinley! This little angel was super sleepy and snoozed happily all through our newborn photography session. I couldn’t have asked for an easier subject. She is a beautiful girl, with amazing skin and such a precious face. She just looks so contented and happy in all of her photos—which turned out beautifully. Not many babies smile in their sleep, but Brinley does, and it’s absolutely adorable. 

This was such a beautiful maternity photography session! Everything was so perfect, the weather was on our side, and we got some absolutely amazing pictures! 

I am excited to introduce you to Clara! It was a pleasure to have Clara and her mom, dad, and big brother in my photography studio in Eugene, Oregon last month for a newborn photography session to welcome her to the world!

Please join me in welcoming Isla to the blog!

I am so excited to introduce you to Bruxton! Some of you might remember that I recently did a maternity photography shoot at Fern Ridge Lake for Bruxton’s parents, Jen and Adam. If you missed it, you can take a look here .  Bruxton decided he didn’t want to wait too long for his own newborn photography session and a chance to be in the limelight, so he arrived about a month earlier than expected—not that anyone’s complaining! We are all just super happy that he’s here and we finally get to meet him. I’m pleased to report that he is a healthy, happy, handsome baby boy—and very much loved by his parents. It’s a feeling that I think everyone who meets him will share.

I had a wonderful time photographing this fantastic family, and I hope you’ll join me in welcoming them back to the blog! Carianne and Corbin are a wonderful couple who have been coming to me since their oldest son, Oliver, was born and I did his newborn photography session. I also did their maternity photography shoot for them when they were pregnant with their younger son, Ryder, and then did Ryder’s newborn photos after he arrived, and it has been a pleasure every time.

Please join me in welcoming Robert to the blog! I welcomed Robert to my photography studio in Eugene, Oregon near the end of April for his newborn photography session, and had a wonderful time with both him and his family. They are familiar faces in my studio since I was lucky enough to photograph Robert’s older sister, Wilma, many times during her first year of life. It was great to see her again. She is becoming such a big girl—and such a cutie! She’s got a great smile. I know she’ll be a great big sister to Robert, and I’m sure they’ll have lots of fun times together! 

Happy birthday, Michael! I can’t believe that an entire year has passed since I had this little guy in my photography studio in Eugene, Oregon for his newborn photography session. The time has flown by and once again I am amazed at how much babies grow and change in one short year. It was so much fun to have Michael in the studio again and to celebrate his first year of life with a birthday cake smash!
