Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Shaylee!

 Happy Wednesday, everybody! Halfway through the week—we got this! I hope your week is going great, but if not, here’s a little something to brighten it up. Because baby pictures make everything better!

Ashley, Heath, and big sister Shelby brought beautiful new baby Shaylee to see me for a newborn photography session. They made the drive to my Eugene, Oregon photography studio all the way from Drain, and I’m so glad they did! It was a pleasure to meet this sweet family and spend a couple of hours with them capturing memories of this special time.

When I said Shaylee was beautiful, I meant it! Okay, okay, as a newborn photographer I admit, I think every baby I get to photograph is adorable. But with her milk white skin, blonde hair, and big gorgeous lips, Shaylee was seriously perfect and it was a joy to take pictures of her. Plus, she was an amazing sleeper to boot. I couldn’t have asked for better!

Since Shaylee was so cooperative, our session went really smoothly. I have lots of tricks up my sleeve when it comes to calming fussy babies, but it’s even better when I don’t have to use them! We were able to get tons of great shots, both of baby by herself and of baby with her parents and big sister. Shelby was such a sweetie and did a wonderful job with little sis. A lot of times when I do newborn and sibling pictures, it’s with a toddler sibling, so it’s kind of fun to work with kiddos that are just a tiny bit older. We have more posing options since they’re better able to interact safely with an infant, and it’s just fun to see their personalities and how nurturing they are with the newest member of the family.

Picking out colors for your newborn photography session is always fun. We did lots of pale pink with Shaylee, along with some splashes of color and a few black and white pictures to mix things up. Turned out so cute!

What a great experience to meet Ashley, Heath, and their adorable girls! And I’m super happy that I’ll see them in the studio again! Ashley decided to invest in the full first year package, so she’ll be bringing Shaylee in every three months over the first year for milestone baby and child photography sessions. I feel so lucky that I’ll be able to see them regularly, and I’m so excited to watch this baby girl grow! Can’t wait until our next session together!

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...
