Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Abigail!

This newest little Oregon Ducks fan is just too cute! I did this little lady’s session towards the end of April. It was so wonderful to meet her and see the family again! (I did big sister Penelope’s newborn photography session a couple of years ago.) Always love seeing past clients back in the studio! It’s fun to catch up and see how much little ones have grown since I photographed them as babies.

Baby Abigail was a teeny tiny thing that looked so much like Penelope did as a newborn! (Penelope was born early, so she was very little too. Not anymore though! Look how much she’s grown. Such a gorgeous girl.)

One of the many fun things about being a Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer comes from the fact that Eugene is a college town—and we love our college football! I invested early on in some baby-sized jerseys and outfits in the colors of Oregon’s two rival teams, the Ducks and the Beavers, so that no matter who parents root for, they can get baby’s team spirit on from day one! Parents Miah and Robert are Ducks fans, so when Penelope was born we made sure to include a picture with a green and yellow football outfit along with all the girly photos. Of course, we had to do the same with Abigail!

We used lots of pinks and purples in Penelope’s session (classic for girls), but decided to do something a little different with Abigail. For our newborn and family photos we used a neutral color palette with lots of grays, whites, and blacks. You really can’t go wrong with basic colors like these, whether you choose to use them as standalones or as the backdrop for some pops of primaries or pastels. And neutrals tend to be great for family pictures since they work well for both genders and most people have several basics in their closet, so it’s easy to coordinate outfits.

For our newborn-only baby pictures, we chose yellow as our main color. So fun! Yellow isn’t a very common choice, but I absolutely love it. It’s so sunny and cheerful, and at the height of spring it was the perfect way to welcome this little ray of sunshine into the world.

Eugene, Oregon baby photographer: Hattie is ONE!

Hattie’s mom, Shanna, brought her in last month for a one year birthday cake smash photography session. Shanna (yes, her name is both spelled and pronounced the same as mine!) wanted to do a strawberry theme to go along with the banner and adorable outfit she had made for Hattie. What a talented lady! Looks like when it comes to the sewing machine she is a force to be reckoned with! Both the outfit and the banner were so cute and I was more than willing to figure out something a little different to match.
