Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Harrison!


Here’s another newborn photography session from December. This one took place just a few days before Christmas. December tends to be a busy month for everyone, but I’m always glad families make the time to visit the studio and bring their sweet babies to see me. Jessica and Terry brought in their little guy Harrison for photos shortly after they welcomed him to the family. He was such a cutie! Enjoy the photos!

Harrison was a great little sleeper, which is always great for me as a newborn photographer. Sleepy babies are so easy to work with and make the session go really quickly and smoothly. He was also so handsome and had just the most amazing skin! I barely had to retouch it at all in Photoshop during the editing process, which is actually pretty rare for a newborn. It’s not uncommon for newborn skin to be a little jaundiced, or to have red or flaky patches. With the magic of editing technology that kind of thing isn’t a problem—I just fix it later when I edit—but with Harrison’s perfect skin I felt like I barely had to edit at all.

One of the decisions parents have to make when they bring baby in for photos is what colors to use. I have tons of options at the studio, so everyone is sure to find a combination that’s perfect for them. Gray and blue is a pretty popular color combination for baby boys, but I really love the shade of blue mom and dad chose for Harrison’s newborn photography session. Such a nice color—just a touch darker than sky blue, but since it’s brighter than navy it provides a really good contrast to the gray.

It was wonderful to have this handsome little guy and his parents in my Eugene, Oregon photography studio. Harrison was such an easy baby to work with and I had tons of fun posing and photographing him. I love the beautiful images we were able to create, and hope you’ve enjoyed looking through them!

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...
