Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Lyla!


Angelica and Brandon brought their sweet daughter Lyla for a newborn photography session at the end of July. I first met Angelica back in April at the baby expo when she wasn’t even noticeably pregnant yet. Like many expectant moms, she came to the expo to get information on the many services available to new and growing families in Lane County. I was there to share with parents the services I can offer as a Eugene, Oregon photographer, and to meet and connect with the many amazing families in this area. The baby expo is such a fun event, and a great opportunity for parents to learn about all that’s available to help them and their children. Angelica asked for information about newborn pictures, and I was so glad when she reached out for photos!

Lyla is such a cutie and I think she’s going to look a lot like her mama. (I’m secretly hoping she’ll have her mom’s gorgeous curly hair too!) We used pink, cream, and gray for our colors, and Lyla looked great in all of them. She was a good little sleeper for me and we got to try a variety of poses and outfits during our time together. Most of our outfits and props were fairly muted, but we also had fun trying out a brighter floral headband and wrap.

We kept props pretty minimal, but we did decide to use my wooden heart bowl for one of our shots. I combined it with a new backdrop and the cutest lacy cream outfit for Lyla. It was like they were made for each other, and I love the way it turned out! I’m always on the lookout for unique additions to my Eugene, Oregon photography studio, and it’s always exciting to try new combinations with my collection of props, accessories, backdrops, and outfits.

Angelica and Brandon purchased a full newborn photography session, which always comes with the option of parent images. They decided that was something they’d like to do, so we got some beautiful pictures of the whole family, plus individual shots of mom and dad with their baby girl. They are so in love with their precious little one! I loved the chance to capture that new relationship that is already so strong.

I’m so happy that Angelica and I connected at the expo and that I got the chance to meet Lyla and have the whole family together in my photography studio. We had a wonderful session and it was a privilege to work with them. Congratulations to Angelica and Brandon on their precious baby girl. What a beautiful family!

If you’re expecting, I hope you’ll consider investing in professional newborn portrait photography. Newborn photography is my passion and it brings me so much joy to capture those first new days for babies and families. Newborn photography gives you the chance to look back on beautiful images in future years and relive those precious moments. It’s a gift I love to share!

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...

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!
