Eugene, Oregon baby photographer: Makenzi and Cameron are ONE!


Kelli and Joe brought in Cameron and Makenzi with big brother Jackson for a baby photography session last month to document the twins turning one year old. I can’t believe how big they’ve gotten! It seems like just a couple of weeks ago I had them in the studio for their newborn pictures, so seeing them again was a reminder of just how much time has flown by!

We thought it would be fun to pose the twins on my little white bed for one of their photos, just like when they were newborns, as a way to show off how much they’ve grown! It’s always fun to include a prop from baby’s newborn pictures in later sessions as a bit of a throwback. It’s something memorable to look back on, and, as in this case, can sometimes serve as a physical marker of baby’s growth. As you can see, the bed they were able to snooze in together a year ago is now only big enough to hold both of them when they’re sitting up on it like a couch—and quite a small couch, at that. They are too cute (then and now!)

In addition to the bed, we were able to work quite a few props into this one year baby milestone photography session, which made for a very adventurous time with our two little stars. These two didn’t just spend their time sitting around. Oh, no. Not only did they get to go boating together, but Cameron even managed to squeeze a hot air balloon ride into the hour he spent in my photography studio in Eugene, Oregon. Busy times!

I think Cameron looks like a miniature version of his brother, Jackson, and I can see a lot of her dad in Makenzi. Both of the twins did an awesome job for me, and were too adorable in their “wild one” shirts! They were both really smiley as well, and Makenzi especially liked making faces at the camera! I remember even when she was a newborn she was the one we had to keep an eye on: Cameron slept peacefully the whole time, but Makenzi wanted to make her voice heard! It’s super cute when babies start asserting their personalities that early on, and it’s good to know that Makenzi still likes to express herself. (And that she’s getting a little more creative with it: I’ll take making faces over crying any day!)

It was great to get pictures of everybody together this time around. I loved including some parent and sibling shots in our baby photography session, and they turned out so fun! Kelli and Joe should be so proud of their family! This is a great group and I’m glad that I get to be their Eugene, Oregon photographer. I hope I’ll continue to see them every once in a while as the kiddos continue to grow, because I love to document those exciting changes in the lives of little ones and their families.

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...
