Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Waylon!

 Landon, Garrett, and big brother Grayson brought new baby Waylon to my Eugene, Oregon photography studio in late September for a newborn photo session. I photographed Grayson as a newborn too, so it was great to see the whole family again. Waylon looked so much like his big brother did at that age. If you don’t believe me, I’ve got the pictures to prove it! Be sure to check them out here. I think these two boys are going to look a lot alike!

It’s always fun to have siblings in the studio during a newborn photography session. But some kiddos are more willing to pose with the new baby than others—and Grayson needed some convincing. It’s a problem I run into pretty regularly, so as a Eugene, Oregon photographer I’ve got a lot of tricks up my sleeve to get toddlers to take photos with their new siblings. It’s not always easy though! In this case, Grayson’s Toy Story friends helped a lot. We even got a smile out of him!

With Grayson’s baby pictures we did a lot of blue, but mom and dad wanted something a little different for Waylon. I mentioned in a previous post that olive green is becoming a really popular color in baby photography for both boys and girls, and that’s what we went with for Waylon. We combined it with gray and brown for a really nice, earth-toned session.

This little guy really liked to be swaddled, so we did lots of shots of him all wrapped up in a comfy blankie. We also found out that he looks great in hats! He stayed pretty calm throughout most of our session—although he did wake up for a few minutes and give me a chance to capture those sweet baby eyes!

We didn’t do a ton of props, but we did do a moon and stars setup; and, since it was only a few weeks until Halloween, we used a cute candy corn fuzzy too. Sweets to the sweet, right?

Loved seeing this family again, seeing how much their oldest has grown, and being able to help them welcome the newest member! Capturing these memories for people is what keeps me going. What an adorable family!

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...
