Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Choosing a Baby Boy Name in 2020


Expecting a boy? One of the many exciting things you’ll need to consider is the perfect name. There’s a lot to think about when choosing a baby name for your son. Do you want a family name or something completely new? Something unusual or more traditional?

If you’re having trouble choosing, it can be helpful to research baby naming trends so you have an idea of what types of names are on the rise and which are on the downturn. I’ve done a little research to get you started, so read on to see what boy baby names are predicted to be popular in 2020!

International – With an increasingly global society, names inspired by travel are on the rise. Austin, Diego, Easton, and Miles are popular, and names traditionally used in other countries are being used in the U.S. too. Luca, Asher, Soren, Axel, Muhammad, Ezekiel, Leif, and others from around the world are climbing the charts.

Movies and TV Shows – Popular culture has always been a big influencer on baby names. Currently Star Wars and The Bachelor are leading the curve. You can expect to see more names like Kylo, Cassian, Brooks, Hayes, and Cruz in 2020.

Nicknames – Shortened versions of boys’ names are becoming popular in their own right. Ricky, Leo, Randy, Mickey, Ted, Theo, Rudy, Jack, Jace, and more are on the rise.

Traditional – Names for baby boys are generally more stable than girl names, so if you lean towards a more traditional name for your son, you’ll have plenty of company. Names like William, David, Noah, James, Elijah, Matthew, David, and Joseph aren’t going anywhere.

Whatever name you choose for your son, it’s important that it feels right to you, and that you believe it’s a name that will suit him from babyhood all the way through his adult years. With hundreds of thousands of names to choose from, it can be tough to narrow it down—but you’re also guaranteed to hit on one you love!

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...
