Eugene Oregon twin baby photographer: Kellyn and Quinn are ONE!

Kellyn and Quinn came to visit me in the studio again—this time for their one-year photos! I can’t believe it has already been a whole year of photographing these cuties. As a Eugene, Oregon photographer, it has been such a pleasure to document their growing up, from the time when they were still just a bump in their mama’s belly to now! I was a little bit sad thinking this might be my last chance to photograph them, but luckily for me Mom wanted to schedule an outdoor 18-month baby photography session, so I will get to see them this summer too.

Mom (Betty Lou) is a firefighter and Dad (Shawn) is a policeman. We’ve incorporated props relating to their careers in several of our sessions, and this was no exception! They brought in their adorable police and fire pushcars to represent their careers this time, as well as some super cute outfits, complete with boots! I feel safer already, knowing that Kellyn and Quinn are on patrol!

I have such respect for those who serve their country and community the way Betty Lou and Shawn do, so I thought that an American flag backdrop was appropriate for this part of our baby photography session. 

Although I neglected to include any in this blog post, we did do family photos with the whole gang, including big sister Josie. Quinn and Kellyn are such happy babies, and I loved getting photos of them giggling and smiling! (I also love how curly Quinn’s hair has gotten—isn’t it adorable?)

We knew we wanted to do some cake smash photography to celebrate the twins turning a year old. We decided to hark back to some of our earlier sessions with the color scheme, so used an aqua background. It went great with our outdoorsy, woodland/fox theme, which we had planned to match Kellyn and Quinn’s nursery. 

Little ones of this age can get a bit possessive, so we decided it would be best to order two cakes. The baker I use is super talented, and was happy to get on board with our fox theme. The cakes turned out so cute, and Quinn’s even had a pink bow so we could easily differentiate it from her brother’s. 

They had the cutest outfits for the cake smash portion of our photo session: Kellyn in his little suspenders and tie, and Quinn in her ballet skirt and string of pearls. Kellyn managed to keep his clothes on the whole time, but with all the excitement Quinn decided clothes were an encumbrance she could live without. The pearls went first, and soon she was sitting there in nothing but her diaper. She seemed much happier that way. It’s so much easier to get frosting all over yourself when clothing is out of the picture!

It was great to see this sweet family again for another successful photo shoot. I’ve loved being their baby photographer over this past year, and I’m so glad we can get together again in a few months!
