Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Ezra!

Hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July weekend! I don’t know about you, but for me it feels like the summer is going by way too fast. So many fun things to do (including outdoor mini sessions!) and not enough time! I’m loving the sunshine while it’s here though. Speaking of—this little guy certainly brought a ray of sunshine to my Eugene, Oregon newborn photo studio back in April when the weather was still being gray. Can’t wait to share his pictures with you!

Brisa and Kishon brought gorgeous Ezra in for baby’s first photoshoot. This is their first little one and they are totally in love with him. I’ll admit I fell pretty hard myself! Ezra had the squishiest little face and did wonderfully for me from start to finish.

Mom and Dad liked the neutral colors, so we did lots of creams and grays. It ended up being a great color scheme for mixing with some black-and-white photos. (Black-and-white shots go great with any colors, but they just blend in so seamlessly with the neutral colors, making it easy to create collages and pair photos together.)

They also preferred a minimalist look, so we didn’t do many props: Mostly beanbag poses and swaddles. I have some clients who like to keep things simple, and others who love trying lots of props, outfits, and bright colors. Either way is great! I have lots of options to choose from and you really can’t go wrong. The biggest thing is just to take your own style into account when planning your baby’s newborn photography session—as long as you do that, baby and I will take care of the rest and you will love your finished artwork!

Ezra was a good sleeper and snoozed happily through every pose I positioned him in. We were able to get some great baby-only pictures and also some beautiful portraits of parents and baby. Can you feel the love?

So fun to spend time with this beautiful family! Brisa and Kishon are a lovely couple and super sweet—and Ezra fits right in! I loved meeting them, and loved every minute of our newborn photo shoot!

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...
