Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Orian!


Parents Chelsea and Daniel and big brother Ryder brought adorable Orian to my Eugene, Oregon photography studio last month for his photo debut. What a cutie! I fell in love with him immediately and loved taking pictures of him in all his precious brand newness! I hope you enjoy the photos!

Everything about Orian was perfect, but I loved loved loved his hair! So thick and soft—and so much of it! I just wanted to keep touching it. (Can you blame me?) Even though I have a ton of adorable hats and so many of them would have gone perfectly with the colors mom chose for this newborn photography session, I was very reluctant to cover up Orian’s hair. At mom’s request we did end up using a few hats (including my Dumbo-eared elephant cap—always a winner), but mostly we kept his head uncovered so we could show off those luxuriant locks!

Big brother Ryder did an awesome job with the new little one. A lot of times during a newborn photography session I’m working with two- and three-year-old siblings who are still just babies themselves. I love working with this age group too, but there’s no denying that it can be tricky to get the shots we want. Sometimes I have to create composite images to make sure I keep everybody safe and happy. Ryder was five years old though, so a bit more mature. He was great at following directions and holding baby Orian, and he’s such a cutie himself. Mom and Dad are lucky to have such a responsible helper!

We got several family photos during our session. This is an option that a lot of families take advantage of during a full session, and I always encourage it. As a newborn photographer, I enjoy recording not only the first stage of a baby’s life, but also the love that surrounds them as they’re cradled in the arms of parents and siblings. Of course, every session is unique, and some parents prefer me to focus entirely on the little one when I do photographs, which is absolutely wonderful as well! I want your baby’s session to be exactly what you’ve envisioned and to be completely tailored to you. Just let me know what you want and I will do everything I can to make it happen.

This was such a sweet and beautiful family! I’m so glad they chose me to be their Eugene, Oregon photographer. It was a pleasure to meet them and I loved the time we were able to spend together. Congratulations to Chelsea and Daniel on another adorable little man!

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...
