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 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...
