Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Henry!

 Happy February, everyone! Last year felt like it lasted forever, but I think this year is going to fly by. Seriously, it was New Year’s yesterday, right? Hard to believe it’s already time to start shopping for Valentine’s treats. It’s also hard to believe that it’s already been three months since Rustin and Carlina brought in their adorable new baby boy, Henry! I hope you enjoy the photos from his newborn photography session!

I was so excited to see this little guy in late October. Both his arrival and his photos had been long awaited, so it made me extra happy to watch this family expand with Henry’s arrival—and so special to be able to record it for them! Memories like this are so incredibly precious, and that stage of infancy goes by in the blink of an eye. That knowledge is one of the things that led me to my current profession: After my first daughter was born I knew I didn’t want to lose a single moment of watching her grow. With photos, there’s a way to hold on to those memories forever.

Henry was such a sweetheart for me. Cute as a button, and nice and curly so we could get some of those classic newborn poses. Working with babies like this reminds me of just how lucky I am to be pursuing my dream job as a newborn photographer! I love all kinds of portrait photography, but there’s no question that my passion is working with these tiny new babies. Although working with newborns requires extensive training and is a unique challenge, it’s also my favorite thing ever!

Mom and Dad decided to go with lighter colors than I usually see for boys—which I’m all for! Although I’m always happy to offer suggestions and help people figure out what might work for them, I also love it when parents have their own sense of style and know exactly what they want. These are your baby pictures, so you should absolutely use the colors, styles, and props that capture the feeling you want.

Loved having Henry and his parents in my Eugene, Oregon photography studio. They are fantastic people and I’m so happy for 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...
