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!
