Eugene, Oregon baby photographer: 6 months with Kellyn and Quinn!


Guess who I got to welcome back to my photography studio in Eugene, Oregon? That’s right! Kellyn and Quinn are growing up so fast and in July it was time for their six month mini milestone session. I have been the baby photographer for these cuties since they arrived: I photographed these sweet twins a couple of times shortly after their birth and have seen them every three months since—which I love! It’s great to see their little milestones as they develop and to capture that action-packed first year of life.

I noticed that both of them have gotten much more smiley and expressive since I last saw them. Their little grins are just adorable and they both seem to love tummy time! They are very close to sitting up independently, but we still propped them up when we did any seated shots during this session to make sure they didn’t fall over. That’s never fun, and I always want people to have a good time in my studio!

Kellyn was quite a bit bigger than his twin sister when they were born, but Quinn has slowly been catching up with her bro in terms of size, and I think she’s finally done it. I love her rolls of baby fat—both of these babies are so round-faced and cute! They’re old enough that it’s easy to tell them apart now—I think Kellyn especially looks a lot like his mama.

Their daddy, Shawn, wasn’t able to make it to this baby photography session, but mom (Betty Lou) and big sister (Josie) joined in on some of the shots, which was a lot of fun. Josie is doing great with her younger siblings, and was fantastic for me in the studio. She always is! I can only imagine how busy life must get when you’re taking care of twins, so I’m sure Josie’s parents are glad to have such a big helper. 

We did lots of denim and white, kind of a throwback to their three month session, and also used the same blocks prop we had used last time (changing the numbers, of course, to show how very grownup they’re getting!) We added some orange and teal in this session as well, matching the colors Josie had in her pretty sundress, and (aside from the blocks) tried different props than we had used previously. Sometimes it’s fun to use a prop repeatedly at different stages of baby’s life, but sometimes it’s fun to just mix things up and keep it new!

It has been so much fun to be the Eugene, Oregon photographer for this family over the past several months, and I’m looking forward to continuing that relationship. Quinn and Kellyn are doing so well, and I already can’t wait to see them for their nine month session. Six to nine months is actually one of my favorite ages for babies: they are so curious about the world, so happy to interact with you, and of course, unfailingly adorable!

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...

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!
