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, 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...
