Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer: Welcome Charlotte!

Erin and Dylan came to see me with their new baby girl, Charlotte, for newborn photos. She was so cute!

I had met Erin before and it was great getting to know Dylan as well. Since both parents were there I convinced them to do family pictures even though they’d decided they were going to bypass those. A lot of times new parents feel super tired and are worried they don’t look their best, or they were too tired to get ready before their little one’s newborn photography session. We’ve all been there! New babies are a lot of work, but family is everything and I really believe it’s worth it to have photos with your little one no matter what. And, as I told Erin and Dylan, the beauty of digital images is that there’s no commitment. You can choose whether you want to purchase them or not, so there’s no harm in taking a few just in case! They ended up loving the family images as well, so I’m really glad we did those shots, even if it wasn’t quite according to plan. They will treasure those pictures forever!

Of course, most of this newborn photography session was focused on baby. Charlotte had the best lips and such beautiful dark hair. We picked out some really pretty rose pinks and mauves and combined them with neutrals for a very warm, feminine look. Bucket poses are really popular right now, so we did some of those, and we also used my wooden heart bowl (another client favorite) surrounded with flowers.

I loved the way Charlotte liked to wrinkle up her little face while she was sleeping!

I’m so glad I could be the Eugene, Oregon newborn photographer for this beautiful baby girl and her parents. If you’re looking for your own newborn photos, I hope you’ll get in touch! (Don’t worry, if you really don’t want to do parent photos I won’t force you.) 😊

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...
