Eugene, Oregon baby and child photographer: 6-month milestone with Zeplin!


Is anyone else missing the sunshine? We had such a gorgeous month of October, but now that November is here it seems like winter is setting in. I have to admit, the foggy mornings and damp air are making me miss those bright, crisp autumn days. Oh well. The clear weather was great while it lasted. And hopefully these photos of Zeplin will bring a bright spot to your day. I know he was a bright spot in mine!

Samantha and Christopher brought this adorable little guy in for a six-month baby photography session in early October. What a cutie! He was such a happy baby and did great for his photos—so smiley, and gave me tons of cute expressions. It was a delight to meet and photograph him.

Zeplin is at such a fun age. Little ones are definitely still babies at this point, but they’re also starting to become very responsive and interested in people. Zeplin is a people-oriented little guy, for sure! He smiled and giggled and flapped his little arms for me in that uncoordinated, new baby way. I had no trouble at all getting him to look at the camera. He was super interested in what was going on! He’s also still young enough to enjoy tummy time, but I can tell he’s getting ready to start crawling and cruising around on his own.

Mom and Dad decided they didn’t want any family photos during this milestone baby photography session. They just wanted to focus it all on Zeplin. That was okay by me: I could have photographed this sweet little man all day!

We stuck to a pretty neutral color scheme—although my little toy wagon gave us a splash of color, and Zeplin loved sitting in it! He also loved rolling around on my bed, gurgling at me happily the whole time.

One-year milestone photos for babies are probably the most popular type of milestone session, but I love when parents decide to capture earlier stages of their child’s life too. Babies grow and change so much in that first year! As a Eugene, Oregon photographer, I love recording those precious, fleeting memories for 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...
