Ashley and Eric brought their beautiful daughter, Merida into my photography studio in Eugene, Oregon the day after Fourth of July for her newborn photography session. Isn’t she a cutie? She was so good for me and I had a great time meeting her and getting to know her family. 

Keolaokalani’s moms, Kathleen and Stephanie, brought their cutie in to my photography studio in Eugene, Oregon at the end of last month for his six month milestone pictures. What a sweetheart he is, and so handsome! He has the perfect little round face, big brown eyes, and such a cute, inquisitive expression. We got some great photos, so enjoy!

This was such a fun maternity photography session! Brandi is my hairdresser so we’ve known each other for a while, and I did her maternity photos when she was pregnant with her daughter, Macie, as well as doing Macie’s newborn pictures. It was fun to see Brandi and her family again this time around as they get ready to welcome a new little boy!

Sweet Grace is already a year old! Seems like yesterday I was doing her newborn pictures. There’s nothing like being a baby photographer to remind you of the march of time! Grace came to the studio last month for her one year baby photography session, which was a combination of general baby pictures and a birthday cake smash. Believe it or not, I have had this session on my calendar since before Grace was born! Her parents, Michael and Cassandra, are way more organized than I will ever be, and booked it well in advance. 

I met with Tanya and Don and their beautiful new daughter Arabella last month for a newborn photography session. What a lot of fun we had! Arabella was such a sweetheart for me, so well-behaved and a great little sleeper (which, by the way, gave me plenty of opportunities to admire her amazingly long eyelashes! Am I jealous? Yeah, maybe just a little.)

I did this maternity photography session last month with Skylar and Malcolm. They are the most wonderful couple! We got some lovely photos during our time together and we just barely squeezed this session in before baby’s arrival. I’m so glad we did!

Jennifer brought her adorable new daughter, Alikiaja, in to my photography studio in Eugene, Oregon last month for a newborn photography session. What a beauty! Alikiaja had the prettiest dark hair, lovely skin, and such a sweet little face.
