Eugene, Oregon child and family photographer: Amber, Grant, Goldie, and Glory


It was so fun to see Amber, Grant, and the girls in my Eugene, Oregon photography studio last month! I have been photographing this family since Goldie was a year old, and they’ve been coming to me regularly at least once a year ever since. I’ve done family, milestone, and baby photography for them, and most recently did a maternity and then a newborn shoot as they welcomed their second daughter, Glory, to the family.

This year Amber and Grant wanted to schedule a three-year milestone photography session for Goldie. It turns out that the girls’ birthdays are six months apart, so it worked out perfectly to do some six-month baby pictures of Glory as well. And while we were at it, we decided to snag a handful of family photos as well. We had an hour after all, so we decided to make the most of it and get a smattering of everything! My full baby and child milestone sessions include optional parent and sibling images, so it’s a great opportunity for some updated family shots.

We did a few different setups for this session. I think my favorite was the lemonade stand. I originally built that stand for my own daughter’s four-year-old photos, so it brought back some great memories as I set it up again for Goldie and Glory. The two of them are so darned cute! I’d buy lemonade from them any day, wouldn’t you?

Goldie has always been a total ham for the camera, and not shy at all about posing. Even at our very first session together she didn’t need any time at all to warm up to me, and was all smiles the whole time. She has always had the biggest grin too! She lights up any room she’s in and keeps everyone laughing with her silliness. And that curly blonde hair is the best! I set up my carousel horse for her to sit on for some of our pictures, and she loved it!

I hadn’t seen Glory since I did her newborn photos, so I was excited to see her again and figure out her little personality during this baby and child photography session. I found out that she loves having her picture taken too! It made my job super easy. Glory has gorgeous big eyes and such a cute, expressive little mouth. Her lips pinch into an adorable heart shape when she’s really curious or focused on something, and it is the cutest thing! We had her do some tummy time on one of my rugs, but she loved being a big girl and sitting up for most of the photos.

I love being the Eugene, Oregon photographer for this awesome family! It is always so much fun to get together with them, whether it’s at the studio or in the great outdoors. We had a great time doing this combination family photography and milestone photography session, and got so many wonderful pictures. I’m already looking forward to the next time I see them!

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...
