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.

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...
