Eugene Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Ethan!

 Hope you’ve all been enjoying the beautiful sunshine—and that you enjoy scrolling through the photos from this adorable newborn photography session!

Eugene Oregon newborn photographer

Elizabeth and Dan brought sweet new baby Ethan to my Eugene, Oregon photography studio in March for his photos. He was just an angel and the cutest little guy. He was awake for a bit at the beginning of his session, but was completely calm and just kept looking around. Babies this age can hardly ever stay awake for long (unless it’s three in the morning, right, moms and dads?) so it wasn’t long before Ethan got drowsy and drifted off to sleep so we could do our pictures.

He slept great the rest of the time and we got so many cute photos of this little man in all kinds of different poses and outfits. He had the best chubby cheeks—had to get a closeup of those!

I have all kinds of great props at the studio, but there’s nothing like personalization, so if you feel like bringing in something special, just let me know! Dan wanted to bring in some deer antlers to pose Ethan with, so we did a setup with the antlers and one of my rustic baskets. I think Ethan and his dad are going to have lots of fun in the great outdoors as this little guy gets older!

As well as newborn portraits, we also got some newborn and family photos of Ethan with his parents. I love doing these kinds of pictures! A new baby—especially a first baby—is such an amazing change for parents, and it’s so special to capture that relationship just days after baby’s arrival. Love the beautiful images we were able to get of this sweet family during Ethan’s newborn photography session. So wonderful to spend some time with them, recording this first stage of their lives together!

I love capturing the many special milestones of life for families throughout Oregon, including maternity, newborn, baby and child, and family photography. While I love recording every one of these stages, I’ll admit, newborn photography is my very favorite. Photographing these brand new little ones is what started me on the road to professional portrait photography in the first place.

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...
