Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Glory!

Amber, Grant, and big sister Goldie brought in the beautiful new addition to their family last month for a newborn photography session. Glory is such a perfect little baby, and I can already tell she’s going to look so much like her sister. They have the same mouth and perfect lips!

I’ve worked with this family many times before in my capacity as a Eugene, Oregon photographer. We’ve done photos for birthdays, milestones, and Christmas in past years. Our most recent session together was Amber’s maternity session when she was pregnant with Glory. They are so much fun, and it is always a pleasure to see them.

Goldie was absolutely smitten with her baby sister. It was so cute to watch her carefully hold, cuddle, and love on the new little one. Some older siblings get jealous of a new baby and want nothing to do with them, but Goldie was clearly on the opposite end of the spectrum. She always wanted to be touching her, and didn’t want anyone else to hold her. It was clear that she viewed Glory as her baby! She was so upset when she and dad had to leave so I could finish up the baby pictures!

Glory did a fantastic job for me. She slept really well and we were able to get all the shots we had planned on. What a beautiful little girl! I don’t blame Goldie one bit for being possessive of such a precious new baby!

We divided this newborn photography session into family and newborn pictures, and also had a couple of different themes. One was a traditional pink, cream, and white color scheme—a classic for little girls. We used lots of lacy textures during that portion of our session, to keep a very feminine feel, and also did some neutral-colored family shots with lots of white. The photos turned out so pretty!

With the holiday season coming up, Amber also wanted some Christmas themed photos. We used some gorgeous reds and greens for these, and Santa Claus even popped into my photography studio in Eugene, Oregon to get some shots with this sweet little bundle of joy! I’m glad Amber thought ahead to the Christmas season. We got some beautiful pictures, and she picked out some adorable Christmas card birth announcements with her photo package.

This is one of my favorite families and I feel so lucky to be their family photographer! We always have such a wonderful time when we see each other and I love to get together with them for each new session. Goldie is always so much fun and I’m excited to get to know Glory and see how their relationship as sisters grows. It’s obvious that Goldie is going to take her responsibility very seriously, and Glory is certainly lucky to have such an amazing family.

Congratulations to Amber and Grant and their family! I hope that they, and all of you, have a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!
