Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Adrienne!

Lyndley, Matt, and big brother Alex brought new baby Adrienne to see me at my Eugene, Oregon photography studio at the end of July. Alex is in the same class as my youngest daughter, so I’ve gotten to know this family through school over the last few years and they are the sweetest people you’ll ever meet. I was very excited when I heard they were expecting another baby, and thrilled that they asked me to be the newborn photographer for their daughter.

Adrienne made an early and scary arrival, but I’m happy to report that all is well now. She had us all worried, and I’m so relieved that she was able to receive great care and that everything ended happily. Having a baby is such an emotional experience anyway, and when it’s accompanied by a scare like that it can be such a hard thing. Adrienne was still on the small side when I photographed her, but she is healthy, happy, and doing great.

This little sweetheart is a rainbow baby, so we knew we wanted to tie that in. As a loss mom myself, I know personally how important it is to remember and honor the little ones we can’t hold in this life. I keep a special selection of rainbow accessories at the studio especially for amazing rainbow babies like Adrienne. In this case, we chose a rainbow headband, blanket, and backdrop to combine with my moon and stars prop.

Mom was very excited about my black and white striped backdrop with the gold hearts because it matched Adrienne’s nursery perfectly. That’s one of my favorite backdrops for little girls—bold, but still totally girly—and I’ve found that it works really well with a surprising variety of color schemes.

As a Eugene, Oregon photographer, I also keep a few sports-oriented outfits and props on hand. 

Eugene is a university town and we love our local college sports team—the Oregon Ducks. Adrienne looked so cute in her tiny college jersey, hugging a miniature football that was still almost as big as she was!

We made sure to get some family pictures during this newborn photography session. I loved capturing the happiness of this sweet family, and big brother Alex did such a good job holding his new baby sister and posing for pictures with her. I am so happy for all of them and wish every member of this beautiful family all the happiness in the world!

If you’re considering a professional newborn photography session for your little one, I would love to hear from you! Believe me, this type of an investment is one you will never regret. Photos are tangible memories—moments you can hold and treasure for years to come. And these moments of newness with your baby go by so quickly! Newborn photography brings me so much joy—and I would love to share that joy with you! Please feel free to contact me anytime—I’m looking forward to it already!
