Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Ace!


Brittanie, Colby, and Knox brought in new brother Ace for his newborn photography session last month. I’ve been photographing for this family ever since Brittanie was pregnant with Knox, doing maternity, newborn, and milestone sessions. Their maternity sessions have been especially fun since Colby and Brittanie love travel and the outdoors: We did a mountain maternity shoot at Odell Lake for their first pregnancy, and when they were expecting Ace we did a coastal shoot near the Heceta Head Lighthouse in Florence. And of course it’s been so much fun to have Knox in my Eugene, Oregon photography studio every few months. Now it’s Ace’s turn!

Ace was such a cutie! I thought he looked a lot like his big brother did as a newborn, but of course every baby is different. You can check out Knox’s newborn photos here if you want to do your own comparison. They had the same chubby little face and chunky build though. I think the biggest difference is that Ace didn’t have as much hair as Knox did! He was totally adorable and slept wonderfully for me. I love how round his face is!

We wanted Ace’s newborn photography session to have some similarities to Knox’s, but also to have its own unique feel. One way we did that was to recreate the same parent/infant shots we had done in our previous newborn session with the same poses, but against a different backdrop. We also used similar colors in both sessions: lots of grays and creams, with a splash of blue.

Knox was amazing with his new little brother! He is always so smiley and happy whenever I see him, and he has the cutest grin. (And I am totally loving the little man-bun he has going! Is that not the cutest thing ever?) He was just as cheerful as ever this time around, and so good with Ace. It was really adorable to watch them together.

Brittanie and Colby are planning to do milestone sessions for Ace every three months or so, just like they did for Knox during his first year of life. I’m super excited that I’ll get to continue seeing them regularly in my photography studio! I love photographing these adorable babies as newborns, and then getting to watch how much they grow and change. I’m so happy for this awesome family, and feel very lucky to be their Eugene, Oregon photographer.

Eugene, Oregon baby photographer: Hattie is ONE!

Hattie’s mom, Shanna, brought her in last month for a one year birthday cake smash photography session. Shanna (yes, her name is both spelled and pronounced the same as mine!) wanted to do a strawberry theme to go along with the banner and adorable outfit she had made for Hattie. What a talented lady! Looks like when it comes to the sewing machine she is a force to be reckoned with! Both the outfit and the banner were so cute and I was more than willing to figure out something a little different to match. 

Eugene, Oregon maternity photographer: Milk bath with Kelsey

Kelsey came in for a milk bath maternity photography session last month. She was expecting a little boy in early November. Needless to say, he is here now! I did his Fresh 48 photos in the hospital shortly after he was born, and will be doing his newborn photos as well. He’s such a sweetheart! Be sure to keep an eye on the blog   for his pictures!

Eugene, Oregon baby photographer: 6-month milestone session with Lily

 Oh my goodness, you are going to love the photos of this sweet baby girl! What an angel face! Audrey and Daniel brought Lily to my Eugene, Oregon photography studio at the end of March for her 6-month milestone photography session. Most of the 6-month-olds I photograph are little ones I took pictures of as newborns, but Lily and her parents were first-time clients. It was wonderful to meet them. And we had so much fun together! I usually set aside an hour for milestone sessions, but I very rarely use the whole time with 6-month-olds because they tend to get tired by about the 40 minute mark. Not Lily! She was sweet-faced and smiley the entire hour. I didn’t even want to stop at that point because we were having such a good time. And honestly, she was probably one of the most gorgeous, photogenic babies I’ve ever photographed. She seriously has the most perfect little face! She loved the camera, and the camera definitely loved her! Because Lily was so happy and cooperative, we go...
