Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Truxton!

I’m happy to welcome Truxton to the blog!

This handsome little fellow came down from Florence with his family for his newborn photography session, and we had a wonderful time. Truxton must be one of those kiddos who loves car rides, because by the time he got to my photography studio in Eugene, Oregon he was so sleepy and content. He was super easy to work with and we got some great photos—which I hope you all enjoy!

Truxton’s big sister is two years old, and absolutely adores her new baby brother. She was very well-behaved throughout our session and loved holding and cuddling Truxton. She’s such a cutie pie, too! I think she and Truxton are going to have such a great time growing up together. 

Both Truxton and his sister have the best smiles, as you can see in the photo collage above. I love the upper left hand photo of Truxton smiling happily to himself in his sleep. Babies must have the greatest dreams! Makes me a little jealous, actually. I can’t remember the last dream I had that made me smile like that!

We went mostly with grays and blues for this newborn photography session, both of which look great on Truxton with his blond hair and fair complexion. I particularly like the photo below. I think the colors work so well here! We mixed in some cream and black with some of the other photographs as well, just to add a little drama. 

I really didn’t use a lot of props in this session, just my tree trunk and big wooden star bed, but Truxton looks amazing in hats, so we did try several different ones. He just looked cuter and cuter in every one we tried! Very calm babies like Truxton make it easy to change them in and out of different outfits, so I love to take advantage of that when I can!

We also tried something a little different by experimenting with some side-by-side shots where Truxton is in similar poses and/or outfits, such as this one:

And this one:

I really love these paired photographs. Aside from the fact that Truxton is adorable, so any picture with him in it is bound to be amazing, coupling these photographs effortlessly added an additional artistic touch to Truxton’s newborn photographs. Not to mention that they’re perfect for announcements, cards, or baby pictures to give to grandparents and other family members. 

I’m so glad I got to be the newborn photographer for this little guy, and that Truxton and his family were able to make the drive over from the coast. Truxton and his big sister were both so sweet and fun to photograph, and I always enjoy being able to spend some time with my subjects’ families and get to know them a little. I hope I will be able to see Truxton and his family in my photography studio again at some point, and I hope you’ve had fun looking through his pictures!
