Eugene, Oregon baby and child photographer: 6-month mini with Hadley!


Hope you’re all staying well and healthy! It’s a bit of a crazy time right now, but I’ve loved continuing to see my clients and know that they are happy and thriving. Little miss Hadley came to my Eugene, Oregon photography studio near the middle of November for her six-month mini milestone photography session. I was so excited to see her again!

It’s hard to believe six months have already gone by since I did her newborn pictures. (She was actually one I wasn’t sure I would be able to squeeze in as a newborn, because we didn’t get her session scheduled until after her birth and it was right in the middle of my busy season. I’m glad we did manage to find an open slot though—not least because it meant I got to see her as a return client for her milestone session!)

Milestone baby and child photography sessions are a great way to capture your child’s development and personality at those significant milestone markers. Some clients choose to schedule milestone sessions every three months throughout baby’s first year, which is always so much fun! Others choose to just focus on the really big ones, like six months or one year. And don’t feel like you have to limit baby and child photography to milestone sessions. Sitter sessions are another fun option. These take place whenever baby starts sitting up on their own, which varies from one child to another. And of course, there’s no bad age to take pictures. I’m delighted to record precious memories of your little one at any stage of life, from newborn to high school senior!

Hadley was so adorable and did such a great job for her session. She gave me the cutest little smiles as a newborn, and she had such cute expressions this time around too. I got some sweet little baby giggles out of her (contagious in the best possible way), and loved watching her face.

We chose to do pink and white for Hadley’s six-month milestone session—the same color scheme we used for her when she was a newborn. We even got to use the same fluffy prop in both sessions! It was so great to see this little sweetheart again. She is an absolute doll!

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...
