Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Violet!

Devin and Lee brought their beautiful new daughter Violet to my Eugene, Oregon photography studio in November for newborn pictures. What a sweet baby girl! She had the most luxurious dark hair and beautiful skin. Hope you enjoy scrolling through her photos!

This was a full newborn photography session, so it was an option for mom and dad to join in the pictures too if they wanted. With mini sessions, there’s really only time for baby pictures, but with full sessions family photos are included. It’s always completely up to the parents though. Devin and Lee decided they wanted to just focus on Violet for the duration of our time together, so that’s what we did.

Since we were approaching the holidays at the time we did this photoshoot mom and dad requested a Christmas setup for their little sweetie. I was happy to oblige! It was my first Christmas setup for a newborn that year and got me all excited for the holiday season. Doesn’t she look like the perfect little Christmas gift?

As a newborn photographer, I keep a large collection of swaddles, headbands, outfits, props, and backdrops. There’s no need for parents to worry about anything more than getting their precious little bundle to my studio. That being said, I’m always open to families bringing special items they want to include in their little one’s newborn photography session. These are your photos and memories, so I want them to be unique to you. Mom brought a beautiful floral crown for Violet to wear. It was absolutely gorgeous, and I loved the gentle, muted colors. We also used a selection of headbands from my studio collection. She looked great in everything!

We didn't stick too strictly to a color scheme for Violet’s baby pictures, but since all of our colors (with the exception of the Christmas setup) were very feminine pastels they ended up blending together beautifully. I love all the fun textures we were able to incorporate into these images!

It was a pleasure to have this family in my photo studio and to help them celebrate the arrival of this gorgeous little girl. I love that my work as a Eugene, Oregon photographer allows me to meet so many wonderful families—and cuddle so many precious newborns! Babyhood lasts for such a short time, so it’s very special to help parents capture those memories in images that will last forever.
