Eugene, Oregon maternity photographer: Zoey


This gorgeous mother-to-be was interested in a studio maternity photography session, but also loved the idea of a milk bath. Fortunately, there’s really no need to choose between them! For a small additional fee we can roll both types of sessions into one, starting out in the studio and then finishing up with milk bath photos. It’s a great option if you really want both kinds of pictures, and is a wonderful way to add some variety to your maternity photo collection.

Zoey brought her own black dress with boots. Such a simple but sexy outfit! She wore her black dress for part of the studio portion of our shoot, and wore my dark red gown for several of our shots as well. I have a nice variety of maternity gowns at my Eugene, Oregon photography studio, so whether you have your own outfit or not, I’m sure to have something in a color and style that works for you.

Zoey’s husband was able to join us for photos too, which was great. It’s always fun when dad can be in on the excitement of a maternity shoot and all the other preparations for welcoming a new baby. They’re such a cute couple, and I know they’re going to be amazing parents. They were both super excited for their little one to arrive.

After some time in the studio, we headed to my master bath for some milk bath maternity photography. Milk baths are always so pretty, and as a maternity photographer I think they’re a lot of fun to shoot as well.

We had gone with fairly dark colors in the studio, but we decided on a lighter, very feminine feel for the milk bath. I had ordered some beautiful flowers with really soft pinks and purples, and they looked so pretty! Zoey decided to wear my white lace gown for this part of our session, and I love the way these photos turned out. The light colors are a great contrast for Zoey’s dark hair, and really bring out those amazing black and deep brown shades.

It had been quite a while since I did a maternity photography session (I think my last one was before Christmas), and even longer since I did a milk bath, so I really enjoyed doing these photos for Zoey. She’s absolutely gorgeous and it was wonderful to meet her and help her and her husband record that special 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...
