Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Hadley!


I had so much fun photographing this cute little one! Hadley’s mom (Jena) brought her into my Eugene, Oregon photography studio for newborn pictures last month and it ended up being a great session. Enjoy the photos!

Jena contacted me to schedule a newborn photography session after Hadley was born. The last-minute booking, combined with the fact that I am right in the thick of my busy season, meant that we didn’t have a lot of wiggle room for when we could fit her in. Unfortunately, the day I had open didn’t work for the whole family to come, so we only did photos of Hadley. Jena did schedule one of my fall mini sessions in September, so I will be getting the whole family in front of my camera soon. I’m looking forward to it!

Hadley did an awesome job for me. She was a great little photography subject and gave me a ton of smiles. Baby smiles are always so cute, and Hadley was especially enthusiastic with hers! Her whole face would just crinkle up in the biggest grin—even while she was fast asleep. Since it means spending time with sweethearts like this, is it any wonder that being a newborn photographer is my passion?

We used a traditional pink and white scheme for the majority of Hadley’s newborn pictures. It’s a classic look for baby girls, and one that I doubt will ever go out of style. Flowers and lacy textures accentuated the girly look we were going for.

Hadley comes from a family of sports fans too, so we definitely wanted to incorporate that somehow into our newborn photography session as well. She looked adorable in an infant-sized Oregon Ducks jersey! (As a Eugene, Oregon photographer, I get frequent requests for Ducks-themed baby photos, with the signature green and yellow colors.) We also used a mitt and the cutest bow designed with the red stitching you see on baseballs. Although sports themes tend to be more common with baby boys, there are lots of adorable and creative ways to incorporate your favorite sports icons into your daughter’s pictures as well.

It is one of my favorite things in the world to capture the pure sweetness of newborn babies. Hadley was such a doll, and I can’t wait to see her and the whole family again in a couple of months. I know Hadley will already have grown so much in that short space of time. It will be fun to see how much she’s grown and changed over the summer.

If you’re interested in booking a session with me, please get in touch. I’m always happy to discuss details or answer questions. If you have ideas for your session I would love to hear them, and if not—no worries! I have years of experience in newborn photography and my studio is fully stocked with all kinds of great props and outfits. I would be happy to design the perfect session for you and your little one.

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...
