Amber and Alex contacted me recently and booked a Fresh 48 photography session as well as
a newborn session for their sweet baby boy, Jax. It’s always exciting for me to
visit a family and their new little one, just introduced to the world, so soon
after the birth. It really is a privilege to witness and capture some of those
first intimate, life-changing moments. I was able to visit this family at Riverbend
hospital shortly after Jax was born and get some wonderful pictures of his first
few hours of life. Enjoy!
Amber and Alex moved to Eugene from Florida not too long ago
to open the popular Eugene and Corvallis Orangetheory gyms. I haven’t tried
either of them out yet, but I hear they are great places to work out and get your
sweat on! I’m going to have to pay the Eugene location a visit soon and try it
for myself. I’m always on the lookout for the perfect gym. Amber is originally
from South Africa and Alex is from New Zealand, and I quickly noticed their amazing
accents. I feel like we don’t get a lot of variety in accents in this part of
the world, so I just loved hearing them talk! I’m so glad they moved here and that
I had the chance to meet them in my role as a Eugene, Oregon photographer.
Jax was a gorgeous little guy. He has his mama’s lips, and
he was awake almost the whole time I was there, which was a real treat. I love
those big gray baby eyes, and that adorable way new babies move their tiny tongues
and mouths. So cute. As you can see, Jax’s beautiful eyes were wide open for
most of our pictures. I think he was eager to check out this big world he’s
been waiting to see for the past nine months! He was also way more interested
in eating than in posing during my visit, but that was okay because we did some
nursing pictures until he was full, and then I was able to get some photos of
them all as a family and do some brand new newborn
photography of little Jax by himself.
We did this session near the beginning of May, and then Jax
and his parents came to my photography
studio in Eugene, Oregon a little over a week later for his full newborn
session. We got some fantastic pictures there too, and I’ll be posting them to
the blog probably next week sometime, so be sure to keep an eye out for those. You
won’t want to miss them! It was great to meet this beautiful family and be a
part of welcoming Jax into the world. I wish Amber and Alex lots of luck in
their venture here and tons of happiness in this exciting new phase of their
lives. They are going to be great parents and I hope I’ll see them in the
studio again at some point!
