Eugene, Oregon baby photographer: 6-month mini with Aiden



Aiden came to see me again last month for his six month mini baby photography session. I love seeing him every three months! It’s great to see how he’s doing, to see all the changes as he grows, and to snap a few shots as a record of this precious time. I also enjoy catching up with his parents, Andy and Ashley. They’re such nice people and so happy to have Aiden in their lives. It’s fun to hear about their parenting adventures! Since this was a mini session, we only got a small selection of photographs, but Aiden made every single one unique and special. Enjoy!

Aiden is so adorable! He is a chunky little fella with the cutest round face, and the absolute best chubby cheeks. And those dimples in his hands! Completely irresistible. I love the outfit his mom brought him in too. Bow ties and baby boys were clearly designed to go together, and I thought the orange and blue combo was great. Since we had such a fun, cheerful color scheme ready-made in Aiden’s outfit, we really didn’t worry about working any other colors into our session. Ashley chose a very simple backdrop that was totally perfect and made Aiden the center of attention in every shot. We only used a couple of props, also in very neutral colors, and I really like the simplicity and flow that our minimalistic approach gave to this baby photography session.

As a Eugene, Oregon photographer, one of the best things I find about watching babies grow is seeing their little personalities blossom. Aiden was very animated for me during his session, and gave me a wonderful variety of facial expressions that were really fun to capture. His mouth and eyes are so round when he’s curious about something—and he was definitely curious about me and my camera! He also gave me some really sweet smiles—the infectious kind where you can’t help smiling back! He had a great time talking to himself, playing with his toes (something I really wanted to do too, but had to resist!), and staring at my camera trying to figure out what in the world it was. He’s clearly a very happy baby, with a talent for entertaining himself and everybody else! Mom and Dad were sure lucky to get such a chill and contented little guy. 

It was fantastic to welcome Aiden and his mom and dad to my photography studio in Eugene, Oregon for another visit. They’re always such a pleasure to work with, and it’s a privilege to be a small part of their family’s journey as I record some of the exciting milestones in their lives. I hope I get to see them lots more in the future! Aiden brought a smile to my face as I took these pictures, and his sunny disposition was exactly what I needed in the middle of this cold, wintery weather. He’ll always be a welcome visitor in my studio!

Eugene and Springfield, Oregon Newborn Photographer: Welcome Bennett

Sweet little Bennett is so lucky to have such a great family.  His big brother is absolutely adorable and his parents are just so nice :)  I thoroughly enjoyed my time with them!  Bennett is an alert little guy!  He wants to be awake and look at my light and take everything in around him :)  Reminds me of my older daughter.  Enjoy!

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...
