Eugene, Oregon baby and child photographer: Isabel is ONE!


Guess who just turned one year old? That’s right—it’s Isabel! It was so fun to see this sweetie again! I did her newborn pictures and six-month milestone photos, and it was a real treat to do her one-year baby photography session earlier this month. Although I’m a Eugene, Oregon photographer and her family lives about an hour away in Florence, I love that they make time to drive over regularly for updated baby pictures.

John (Isabel’s daddy), unfortunately wasn’t able to make it to this session, but Grandma and Grandpa were able to come, which was wonderful. These are Brooke’s (Isabel mom’s) parents. They told me they moved to Florence not long ago in order to be closer to family. It must be so nice to live close to family that like. They love getting to spend lots of time with Miss Isabel and being able to watch her grow. And she’s so lucky to have her grandparents right there all the time!

Grandma and Grandpa being there meant that we could get some generational photos, which are always so much fun! We got some really sweet family pictures with all three generations. Don’t they look great together?

Isabel is such a cutie, and an absolutely beautiful baby. Seriously, she could be a model. Perfect hair, soft round eyes, gorgeous skin—and a smile that could melt your heart! She did such a great job for me during this baby and child photography session. Last time she was at the studio for her six-month pictures, she was cooperative, but not super smiley. This time she seemed much more comfortable and happy to pose for me. Being able to play with blocks probably helped! It’s such a lot of fun getting to know these little people and seeing their personalities blossom.

We did a fall setup with pumpkin and leaves for some of our photos, in honor of the season, but stuck mostly to light grays, pinks, and greens. Isabel looks so pretty in those really soft colors. Mom has a great eye and always picks out the best shades for her.

It was wonderful to have Isabel, her mom, and her grandparents in my Eugene, Oregon photography studio for pictures. Being a baby and child photographer is tons of fun and always an adventure. It’s truly a pleasure to capture these special milestones and memories for little ones and their families.

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...
