Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Alivia!

Loren brought her adorable new daughter Alivia into the studio about a month ago for a newborn photography session. Miss Alivia is so cute! She has such round cheeks and the sweetest little dimpled chin.

Mom mostly wanted photos of the new baby, but she said she’d also like some shots of the little one with her big brother, who came to the studio with mom and sis. My full newborn photography sessions include parent and sibling shots, if desired, so I was easily able to work those pictures in. Big brother Landon is quite the cutie himself. He’s still a big young to hold his baby sister without an adult helping him, but there are still lots of options for posing siblings and newborns in a situation like this. I’ve learned how to be flexible and still end up with beautiful pictures.

Although we didn’t do it in this session, I’ll sometimes use the bed in my studio so siblings can lie down behind or next to the baby without holding them. Sitting on a comfy rug near their new sibling, like Landon did, is another pose that works well. If the older kiddo just really isn’t wanting to cooperate in any joint shots with this tiny intruder who’s suddenly appeared in their lives, we can always fall back on composite images.

It’s amazing what you can do in the editing process! Digital technology combined with years of practice as a newborn photographer allow me to combine images seamlessly. For composite shots with a newborn and sibling, I’ll take separate pictures of baby and big brother or sister by themselves using exactly the same backdrop and lighting. Later, when I’m at the computer, I can overlay the two shots and blend them into one. You’ll never be able to tell the difference, I promise!

We chose purple and gray for Alivia’s newborn photography session. She was so darned cute she would have looked great in any colors we chose—and the sky is the limit when it comes to choosing a color scheme for your little one’s photos. I have tons of selections in my Eugene, Oregon photography studio—the hardest part for most people is narrowing it down. I’m happy to provide recommendations if you have trouble deciding. Whatever look you’re going for, I’m sure we can make it happen!

Like many of my clients, Alivia’s family are Duck fans, so we had to get a shot in sports regalia. As a Eugene, Oregon photographer, I make sure to keep some baby-sized outfits in Ducks colors for the little future athletes that come through my door! They’re a very popular option and there’s something irresistible about a baby in a tiny jersey.
