Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Luca!

Dustin and Angela brought their adorable new son Luca to my Eugene, Oregon photography studio last month for newborn pictures. What a sweetheart! He was a few weeks early so we adjusted our schedules a little bit to get him in. I was more than happy to do whatever it took to meet this cute little guy!

As is common with babies who arrive a bit early, Luca was very sleepy during his newborn photography session. He slept like a dream the whole time! Just a few days before he came in, I had had another super easy baby in the studio. We got done with her session in just under an hour, which I think might be a record for a full newborn session. (To give you an idea of just how quick that is, I should mention that I always book three hours for a newborn session.) I was stunned at how quickly it went, and then less than a week later in comes Luca: Another incredibly easy little one and we wrapped up his session in right around one hour. Yet another rocket fast newborn photo shoot!

Luca’s last name is Fox, so I had the perfect hat for him to wear! We also used my lion hat for him. No particular reason, other than that he looked so irresistibly cute in it! I do have a weakness for baby hats—but as a newborn photographer my collection comes in handy almost every day.

We used classic blue as our main color in Luca’s newborn photo session. Always a great color for either gender, but an especially popular choice for baby boys.

Luca was such a handsome little man. He had beautiful skin, and his features are so masculine, even as a newborn. You can’t always tell just from looking at a newborn’s face whether it’s a boy or a girl, but it’s easy to see that this little guy is all boy!

As with all of my full newborn photography sessions, I offered mom and dad the option of doing some family pictures during our time together. They took me up on it and I’m so glad they did! What a beautiful family! I loved photographing the three of them together and then getting shots of Angela and Dustin individually with their baby boy. Although that parent-child relationship lasts forever, babyhood is so fleeting. Before you know it your infant is more interested in exploring than in being held, so I’m always glad when parents choose to get those pictures that capture the precious newness of that bond with their child.

What a fun session! It really was a joy to be the Eugene, Oregon photographer for Dustin, Angela, and Luca. Even though our time together was quite a bit shorter than expected due to Luca’s amazing temperament and sleepiness, I enjoyed every minute of it. I’m so happy for this wonderful couple and the great new adventure they’re embarking on together! Best wishes to this threesome!
