Eugene, Oregon baby and child photographer: Annalise and Thea milestone session


I have been photographing this adorable family at least once a year ever since Annalise was born. They are some of my favorite clients! I love seeing Annalise and Thea grow up as I record the milestone of each passing year in my work as a Eugene, Oregon photographer. Parents Annabelle and Josh booked this annual session to celebrate their girls’ birthdays a while ago, but the time flew by! When I saw them, I couldn’t believe how big the girls had gotten! Hard to believe that Annalise is four already and Thea is two. It was great to get together with them again for another wonderful session!

I did a joint milestone baby and child photography session for these girls last year too, so it was really fun to do another sisters’ session with them—this time at the location we had originally planned on for last time. We did an outdoor photo session last year as well, and had chosen Dorris Ranch in Springfield, but due to construction and maintenance closures we had to find a last-minute replacement location. Since the weather was beautiful and we are blessed to live in an amazing part of the country it didn’t end up being a problem. Dorris Ranch was open this year though, so we decided to go for it. They still have some construction going on, but only by the barn, so we just used other areas of the park. There are so many pretty spots there!

Annalise is getting to be such a character! There is nothing shy about her. She had me laughing the whole time with her silly faces and big smile. She had no problem at all showing off for the camera! Thea looks up to her big sister so much and it was adorable to watch the two of them together. Little sis loves to follow Annalise’s lead, so we got some silly faces out of her too!

I brought a few props from my Eugene, Oregon photography studio, and mom and dad brought an amazing balloon, but for the most part we just used the beautiful scenery as our photo setup. Getting kiddos to relax and play is part of my job as a baby and child photographer, and I find that the outdoors is always a great setting to accomplish that. And bubbles help too! Annalise had a great time blowing bubbles for me.

I’m glad we finally got to do our Dorris Ranch photo session! I’m already looking forward to the next milestone photography session with these two cuties!

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...
