Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Tyson!


Jessica and Terran brought in their adorable new son, Tyson, about a month ago for his newborn photography session. He is such a little cutie and was amazing for me as a photography subject. I’m so excited to share his pictures with you!

Tyson is such a handsome boy, with beautiful clear skin, fair hair, and an absolutely cherubic expression! I mean seriously, look at that face!

Appearances didn’t deceive with this little guy either. He didn’t fuss at all and slept like a dream through the entire session, totally oblivious to me and my camera and the fact that I kept shifting him into all sorts of different positions. I could definitely get used to it if all my newborn photography sessions were this easy! Because he was so chill and relaxed we were able to get quite a variety of pictures with him in several different outfits and positions, so that was a lot of fun too.

His parents wanted all neutral colors for his session, which is a little different than what I’m used to—normally I work with a mixture of neutrals and brighter colors—but I’m always up for switching things up a little and the pictures turned out better than I expected. I guess it just goes to show you that mom and dad always know what’s best!

With his fair complexion, Tyson actually looks great in all the grays, creams, and browns we used, and the different props and outfits provide variety without needing to rely on color for added interest. Plus, it’s a cinch to put together a collage or mix photos together for announcement cards when all the colors flow together so nicely.

Although Tyson was obviously the star of the show, we also included mom and dad in a few of the photos—and this little family looks so sweet together! The parent and baby pictures I take as a newborn photographer often turn out to be some of my favorites from the session, maybe because that relationship between parent and child is such a close, special one, and I love being able to capture it in those first stages. I know from personal experience, and from seeing it almost every day during my work as a Eugene, Oregon photographer, that as strong as the love of a parent for their child is during those first weeks and months of life, it just keeps growing stronger and becoming deeper and more complex as that baby grows. It’s one of those everyday miracles that I’m so lucky to be reminded of on such a frequent basis.

It really was a pleasure to have this family in my photography studio in Eugene, Oregon—and not just because Tyson was such an easy baby to work with! I’m so glad I got to do this session with Jessica, Terran, and Tyson. They are truly wonderful people starting off on such a huge adventure together, and I couldn’t be happier or more excited for them!

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...
