Eugene Oregon baby and child photographer: 6 months with Zya!

 I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I know the holidays are looking different for a lot of folks this year, but every time I do a photoshoot I’m reminded that family is the most important thing and as long as we have each other we have a lot to celebrate! Of course, as a baby photographer I also believe that nothing spreads good cheer quite like pictures of adorable little ones. 😊 Although I did this milestone photography session a couple of months back, sharing these pictures seems like the perfect way to usher in December. Cutest baby girl ever!

Zoe and Andrew had to wait a long time to bring little Zya to my Eugene, Oregon photography studio. She was born in March, just a week or so after I had to close the studio due to COVID. Since things were so uncertain and up in the air at the time, mom and dad decided to just hold off until Zya was six months old instead of doing a delayed newborn session. Sometimes if you’ve missed the newborn window, waiting until 6-9 months to do baby pictures can be a great idea. Babies can usually sit up mostly unassisted by that age, so it gives us more options and variety as far as posing and props. Plus, at that age babies also tend to be super smiley and haven’t really developed stranger danger yet, making it really easy to capture all kinds of adorable images.

I was hoping that that would be the case with Zya—and she did not disappoint! She was such a happy baby and had so much fun during our baby and child photography milestone session. She loved tummy time and sitting up by herself. What a big girl! She also gave me the cutest expressions and made us all laugh. I’m sure there is never a dull moment at their house.

Although I’m sad we couldn’t do a newborn session back in March, I’m so glad that I still got to see Zya and her parents in the studio and that we could capture these adorable pictures! Although this year has been crazy, it’s also been pretty inspiring to see how people adjust to the changes and carry on. Zoe and Andrew may have had to change Zya’s session date, but we still got to have a wonderful session and I know these images will be a treasure for them.

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...
