Eugene, Oregon baby photographer: Evelyn is ONE!

I can’t believe it has already been a year since I did this cutie’s newborn session! Where does the time go? Evelyn came in for her one year baby photography session at the end of September with her parents, Andrew and Samantha. I was so happy to see all of them again. Evelyn was absolutely adorable—all smiles and totally up for a photo session. Yay! No need to coax this girl to smile! She seemed to know exactly what I was doing with the camera and loving it. She has got the cutest little face too, and boundless energy! We had a great time together.

I usually advise people to keep things simple for a mini milestone photography session, and that’s what we did here. A single backdrop and outfit, and just three props. I keep a well-stocked studio, which can make it hard for clients to choose from all the options, but I can always give some advice if you’re struggling. Since the aim of a mini milestone photo session really is just to provide you with a handful of quality photographs—a professional session snapshot, if you will, of your little one’s current stage of life—simple really is best. In this case, by choosing a distinctive color scheme and a couple of neutral props, we were able to make our photos really cohesive. 

I loved the colors we decided on for Evelyn’s baby photography session. The soft blue and deeper pinks and yellows in our backdrop made our pictures really bright and cheery. Even though we were moving into fall at the time of this session, the photos still have a sunny, summertime feel. And Evelyn’s mint green dress is so cute and comfy-looking. And the tights! Is it just me, or are baby girls in tights the cutest thing ever? She had a great time showing off for the camera and I was glad she felt comfortable. Working with kiddos this age is so fun—and unpredictable! I never have a dull day in the studio, and often feel so lucky to be a Eugene, Oregon photographer. It’s a joy to work with these sweet little ones and their families. 

Mini milestone sessions are an ideal way to record your little one’s growth as they learn how to smile, sit up, crawl, walk, and talk. Babies change so much in the first few years of life, and it’s worth the investment to have professional photos of these milestones.

I was also glad of this chance to have Evelyn in my photography studio in Eugene, Oregon, because very soon she’s not going to be the only little one in the family! I found out that Samantha and Andrew are expecting a little boy next year. I’m so excited for them! We have already started planning maternity and newborn pictures, and I can’t wait to have the whole family back!
