Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Vivaansh!

Swetha and Vivek brought their beautiful little boy, Vivaansh, in to my photography studio in Eugene, Oregon to see me in early October. He is such a handsome little guy, and I can’t wait to share his photos with all of you!

I did Swetha’s maternity session in September at Zumwalt Park. She had some gorgeous, brightly colored maternity gowns that she brought, and it was a beautiful session which Vivek was also able to be involved in, along with their oldest son, Reyaansh. If you missed their session, you can check out the photos here.

All of my full newborn photography sessions include parent and sibling images if the family would like them, but Swetha and Vivek wanted to focus exclusively on Vivaansh for this particular session, so that’s what we did. I know big brother Reyaansh wasn’t super excited about having his picture taken when I did his mom’s maternity session a couple of months ago, so I’m sure he was happy with the decision! 

Vivaansh was excited to get here and was born a bit early—it was only by a couple of weeks though, so nothing to cause complications or worry—just an eager young man ready to get started in the world! Maybe he knew that we just couldn’t wait to meet him! He really is an absolutely beautiful baby, with the most amazing skin. I love his full head of dark hair and those sweet lips! They form such a cute little O when he’s relaxed—and Vivaansh seemed totally relaxed the entire time! He was the perfect little photography subject and slept great during the entire session. He was also really good about posing, and looked so sweet and peaceful in every position we tried. Photographing him was a breeze!

We chose mostly blue with a couple of yellow highlights for Vivaansh’s newborn photography session. Blue is a very traditional color for baby boys here in the United States, but Swetha and Vivek changed it up a little by using much lighter, brighter blues than I usually see people choose. The lightest is almost a robin’s egg color, which I thought combined surprisingly well with the brown we used for some of the backgrounds in the collage. And it was a perfect choice for the moon and stars prop we posed little Vivaansh with. I love it when clients pick fun and unique color combinations, because they so often hit on combos that are new and interesting in the best ways, and that almost always turn out looking great in the pictures.

It was so exciting to meet this new little guy and to get some wonderful photos of him. He really was so well behaved and a delight to have in the studio. I’m glad I was able to be the maternity and newborn photographer for this family. I’m sure Swetha and Vivek have many happy days ahead as they raise their two sons, and I’m so happy for the joy that little Vivaansh has added to their family!
