Eugene, Oregon Baby and Child Photographer: One-Year Bubbles and Snowflakes with Glory


The Coleman family was back in the studio in November and I was so excited to see them all! I’ve gotten to know this family really well over the past few years since becoming their family photographer. My first session with them was when their oldest, Goldie, was a year old, and we’ve been meeting regularly to record their family memories ever since.

This was mostly a baby and child photography session to capture Glory (baby number two) for her one-year milestone, but we did some family pictures as well. I had just done my Christmas minis (which turned out great, by the way—be sure to check them out here if you haven’t seen them yet), and they requested that I leave the snow setup I’d used so we could incorporate that as well. I was happy to do it! Amber, Grant, Goldie, and Glory all loved it! It was very popular during my Christmas minis as well. All the fun of snow without any of the cold and wet. What’s not to love?

Glory’s birthday is just a few weeks before Christmas, which is so fun. When she was a newborn, we got to do some holiday-themed photos. Santa Claus even showed up for part of our session! We didn’t see Santa this time, but we did have a ton of fun playing in the faux snow, throwing fluffy snowballs, and posing on my sled.

We decided to do a bubble bath, complete with rubber ducky, for part of this baby and child photography session. I have the perfect size tub for little ones. (I don’t think there’s anything cuter than a baby in a tub. A cake smash followed by a bubble bath is a popular option for one-year baby photography—check out the portfolio for ideas!) Glory loved tub time, and her little grin is just the best! Both of these girls are so smiley and happy. Always have been from the first time I met them!

It’s always a joy to have this family in the studio. Whether it’s for newborn, milestone, or family pictures, we always have a wonderful time together. It was great to see the whole family again (can’t believe how fast the girls are growing), and I’m already looking forward to next time!

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...
