Eugene, Oregon maternity photographer: Affinity

I’m excited to show off these gorgeous maternity pictures! Affinity and her husband Shawn came in last month for a session. They are expecting their 5th child and this will also be their last baby, so they wanted to do something extra special. Since they hadn’t done maternity photos when Affinity was pregnant with any of their other kiddos, they decided a maternity photography session would be the perfect way to remember this special time of growing their family. I couldn’t agree more!

One of many clients’ favorite things about their maternity photo shoot is the pampering that happens beforehand! As an expecting mother—especially if you have other children—it is so nice to get the spa treatment every once in a while. Moms, you know what I’m talking about! That’s why my maternity sessions include professional hair and makeup, so you can not only look your best for pictures, but really feel like you’re doing something special for yourself. Affinity told me she loved the pampering and the relaxed feel of having her hair and makeup done professionally at my Eugene, Oregon photography studio before we got the session underway.

Affinity wasn’t the only one who got pampered during her session. She had a really clear idea of what she wanted her photos to look like, so I got to relax too as she let me know her vision and the look she was going for. It was really nice to have so much direction! As a maternity photographer, I have lots of experience and ideas, and I’m happy to jump in with suggestions if needed—or even direct the whole show—but I do love it when clients know exactly what they want and I just have to follow directions. Makes it easy on me!

Affinity chose a beautiful wine-red maternity dress for most of her photos. It looked so good with her skin tone! We also did some nude shots, a couple of other outfits, and some couples maternity photos with both Affinity and Shawn (aren’t they a gorgeous couple?) All of our images turned out so beautiful and were exactly what Affinity wanted. I’m so glad she decided to treat herself to something special as she and Shawn get ready to complete their family circle. Pictures like this are such a treasure!

Getting ready to welcome a little one to the family? I’m so happy for you! I know there are a ton of things you have to do to prepare, but believe me, one of the most memorable is to invest in professional, personalized maternity photos. This is such an amazing stage of life, and maternity photography is a way to remember these days forever.

As an award-winning Eugene, Oregon maternity photographer, I would love to help you record your pregnancy. As you’ll see from scrolling through my maternity portfolio, I have tons of options and am happy to customize your session and make it completely unique to you. No matter what style you have in mind, I’d be honored to help you create exactly the session you’re hoping for!

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...
