Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Dane!

I hope everyone had a healthy, happy, and fun-filled holiday season! I had a wonderful time being with my family and enjoying the traditions and festivities. This is always a busy time of year, but the excitement on my kiddos’ faces on Christmas morning makes it all worth it. It’s fun to make the magic happen. I also love the beautiful decorations and festive props I get to use in my photography sessions as a Eugene, Oregon photographer.  

Last month, although I did lots of holiday-themed photo shoots, I was also able to do some season-neutral newborn photography and family photography. One of these sessions was for this sweet little boy, Dane. He is such a cute baby and I had a great time doing this photography session with him and his parents and older sisters. I first photographed this family for Briella’s newborn pictures, when Evie was just a couple years old. They are still as adorable as I remember them, and I loved being able to see what beautiful girls they are growing into, to catch up with mom and dad, and to help the family welcome their newest member. We got some great pictures, and I hope you enjoy them!

Dane’s daddy, Jeremie, is an electrical lineman by trade, but his passions are hunting and fishing, so we represented fishing with my boat prop and hunting with a cute deer outfit that Dane’s mom, Angie, brought for us to use during this newborn photography session.

We used blue, brown, and cream for the color scheme of Dane’s baby pictures. It’s a classic and flexible combination that is interesting enough to stand on its own, yet still allows for the insertion of occasional splashes of other colors, like the red bow in Briella’s hair or Evie’s plum-colored dress. 

Briella and Evie were so good with their new little brother. It was really sweet to watch them all together, and the girls were wonderful about posing for photographs. They are both naturals in front of the camera and I love their smiles! Evie definitely takes after her mom with her darker coloring, while Briella inherited her dad’s lighter hair. It looks like maybe Dane is going to look like his daddy as well—although it’s always a little difficult to tell this early on. Babies change so much during the first couple years of life.  

Dane was such a good boy for me while I took pictures. He was sleepy and adorable, and quite happy to be held and cuddled, changed into new outfits, and posed in different positions. As a newborn photographer, it’s always nice to have such an easygoing baby as a subject! He was a sweetheart who was a pleasure to work with.

I’m so glad this family is doing well, and I’m delighted that I had another chance to welcome them to my photography studio in Eugene, Oregon and to record this exciting change in their lives! I’m sure they have a wonderful new year ahead of them.
