Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Connor!



Do you remember Courtney and Poul and their daughter Emma? If you missed the photos from their session, don’t worry, you can check them out here. I did Courtney’s maternity session a few months ago in preparation for the arrival of their son, and guess what? Here he is!

Connor, the newest member of this great family, is such a sweetheart! I have been looking forward to having him in my photography studio in Eugene, Oregon for a while now, so I was very excited to see him. He was well worth the wait!



We chose brown, blue, and gray as the colors for Connor’s session, and I think those darker shades complement his blond hair and golden complexion perfectly. It’s not always easy to tell a baby boy from a baby girl with infants this young, but Connor has very masculine features. He is such a handsome little man, and was so sweet and sleepy throughout his newborn photography session. He was happy to snooze in whatever situation we put him in, be it on a bed, in a tree stump, or snuggled in the arms of one of his family members. Such an easy going little guy! I fell in love with him right away.

I’m definitely not the only one who’s in love with him, either. Connor’s big sister, Emma, was so adorable with him, and is clearly ecstatic to have a brand new baby brother to love and cuddle. She is a natural at being the protective older sister, and was happy to sit with him during our newborn photography session and show him off for me. I thought it was so cute the way she just wanted to kiss his head over and over again. You can see from that beaming smile how happy she is! (Especially in the family photo—is that not the biggest grin you’ve ever seen?) I can’t say I blame her. If Connor was my baby brother, I would be pretty excited too.

Aren’t they such a great looking family? We made sure to get a family shot, as well as individual pictures of Connor with his mom, dad, and big sis. Those will be so wonderful to look back on as Connor and Emma grow. Connor obviously knows he’s in excellent hands, and with those stunning good looks of his, he fits right in.

It was a real treat for me to meet this sweet baby boy, so fresh to the world, and to spend some more time with his family. They are all wonderful individuals, and even better together, just as families should be! As a newborn photographer, that is one of my favorite things to see, and I love being able to capture some of that essence in my pictures. It’s wonderful to witness so much love in a family, and I hope Connor and his parents and sister just keep growing closer together in future years. It’s pretty obvious that they were made for each other!

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...
