Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Cardin!


I’m excited to share these photos with you from a session I did in mid-January. I had a little break over Christmas and New Year’s, but I was ready to jump right back into it after the holidays. This mega-cute little man was my first session of 2020—he got me off to a great start!

Kara and Eddie brought big brother Braylon and new baby Cardin to my Eugene, Oregon photography studio for a newborn photography session. I did Braylon’s newborn and one-year milestone sessions, so it was super fun to see him again. Couldn’t believe how much he had grown and changed since the last time I saw him. I always love seeing my little clients again—even when they’re not so little anymore! (By the way, if you missed Braylon’s baby photos, you have got to check them out! He had the most incredible hair as a newborn, and we did the cutest lumberjack session for him when he turned a year old.)

Braylon is an amazing big brother and did such a great job with new baby Cardin. Two-year-olds aren’t always the best with babies, but Braylon totally rocked it. He just loved loving on Cardin. Are they not the cutest thing together? That photo makes me smile every time I look at it.

We did gray and blue for Braylon’s newborn photography session when he was a little guy, and we chose the same basic color scheme for Cardin—just with a darker blue. It worked great, and a similar color scheme will make it easy for Mom and Dad to color-coordinate photo displays in their home.

Mom and Dad also brought in a personalized swaddling blanket for some of our shots. Big brother had one very similar when he came in as a baby, and now Cardin has one of his very own too. So sweet!

One of my favorite shots from Cardin’s session is the suspended image. I love the simple but dramatic effect of the black background, and I find that these types of images really add some flair. Don’t worry—even though it looks like Cardin is suspended high in the air, he’s actually being securely held only a few inches above a nice soft beanbag, with hands close by to make sure he’s completely safe the whole time. As a newborn photographer, I take your infant’s safety very seriously, and would never do anything to jeopardize that. I use tried-and-true infant posing techniques combined with technology and editing to achieve beautiful and unique images like this one.

It was a delight to have Cardin and his family in the studio. I have loved being their Eugene, Oregon photographer over the last couple of years, and hope we have many more years of photos and memories ahead of us!

Thanks so much for visiting the website! If you have questions or would like to book a session, please contact me here. I can’t wait to hear from you, and I look forward to photographing your beautiful family!

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...
