Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Noah!


New parents Sandra and Cam brought their little guy Noah to my Eugene, Oregon photography studio about a month ago. What a cutie! I’m so glad I was able to get him into the studio—we didn’t schedule this mini newborn photography session until after Noah was born. Sometimes when sessions aren’t prescheduled well in advance my calendar fills up and I’m not able to take new clients. Luckily I had an opening this time and was able to fit Noah in—I’m so glad it worked out!

If you’re expecting and are considering investing in professional newborn photography, I’d encourage you to contact me as soon as possible. Newborn sessions are ideally held when baby is between seven and fourteen days old, and since little ones often have their own ideas about due dates, it’s important to book your session as far in advance as possible.

Noah was a chunky monkey and I just loved him! Baby fat is the cutest and Noah’s chubby cheeks and rolls were the best! He also had the most wonderful hair! Soft and black and absolutely tons of it. I could have played with it all day, but since my mini photo sessions are only an hour long I had to control myself and get down to business. Not easy, let me tell you.

This little man also had lots of personality—I could tell already. I was a little worried he would wake up, because he kept making lots of noises as I posed him, but he was a champ and stayed asleep the whole time. I think he’s going to be a talker! He also liked to scrunch up his toes just slightly, so that they curled in towards his feet. So cute!

Since this was a mini newborn photography session we decided to keep things very streamlined and simple. We used swaddles and hats as our outfits, since those are so much quicker and easier to change baby in and out of than a full set of clothes. And we even limited our use of hats because we wanted to show off that amazing hair! We also used just a couple of backgrounds: a clean white one and then my fluffy gray-blue blanket for Noah to curl up on. We also did lots of naked baby shots. They don’t require any extras in the way of props, and they are adorable every time!

It was wonderful to spend some time with this family as their Eugene, Oregon photographer. Noah was a good sport and so easy to work with. I’m excited for his mom and dad as they start on this journey of parenthood. It’s quite the adventure (as I can attest from experience) and I have a feeling they are going to be great at it!


I hope you’ve enjoyed the baby pictures of this handsome little guy! Please get in touch if you’re considering a session or have any questions at all. I would love to hear from you!

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...
