Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Austin!


Mara and Jesse brought in their adorable son Austin about a month ago for his newborn photography session. What an absolute sweetheart! This little guy was so precious and handsome, and his session couldn’t have gone better – I enjoyed every minute of it.

Mara and Jesse were referred to me by Dana and Josh Cooley, and I’m so glad they sent them my way! (For more information about my referral program, click here.) You may remember from my blog post a couple months ago that Josh was our realtor when my husband and I moved, and that I did the baby pictures for their little guy back in March. As it happens, his name is Austin too! I guess it was meant to be.

As a Eugene, Oregon photographer, I love developing relationships with my clients, and I’m delighted when they trust me enough to send their friends to me. Mara and Jesse are such nice people and I feel so blessed to have met them. It was wonderful to spend some time with them and their brand new baby boy!

Jesse is into motorcycles, so he brought his helmet and we got a picture of little Austin in it, giving us a big, sleepy yawn. Or maybe it’s not a yawn and he’s just excited to be sharing in dad’s interests and hobbies so soon! Either way, he is sure a cutie, and fits into his daddy’s helmet very comfortably. I hope Jesse hangs on to that helmet and years down the line he can pull it out to show to Austin and try to convince him that, yes, he really was small enough to fit in there once upon a time! Such a fun memory.

Austin had so much beautiful dark hair – really tons of it for a newborn – and I’m kind of obsessed with it. Newborns are always adorable, and I can’t help oohing and aahing over every single one who comes into my studio, but I’ll admit, I do have a thing for babies with a full head of hair. I also loved his perfect, full lips and the way he pouted them just so for me, and his skin was beautiful too. He slept great the whole time and was so easygoing about everything. He did every pose I wanted, no problem at all, and looked perfect doing it every single time. I really couldn’t have asked for a better subject for a newborn photography shoot.

It really was a great experience to have this family in my photography studio in Eugene, Oregon. I felt like we were able to get a ton of pictures because Austin was just so chill and relaxed, and the variety of poses and outfits we were able to use was so fun. I’m glad I was able to meet Austin and his parents at the beginning of their great adventure together. Whether on the motorcycle or off it, I have a feeling it’s going to be a great ride!

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...

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!
