Ashley and Danny brought their sweet baby girl, Emma, to my photography studio in Eugene, Oregon last month for a session. As I mentioned in a previous post, I was lucky enough to have two newborn baby girls to do pictures for that day, which kept me very busy—in the best possible way! I always love welcoming these adorable little visitors, and enjoy every minute I get to spend with them. I can’t think of a better to wrap up a month than with back to back baby bookings!

Sophia booked me quite a while ago in anticipation of her daughter’s birth to schedule a mini newborn photography session, and late last month it was finally time! I was so excited to meet little Olivia, and she surpassed all my expectations by a mile. Wow, was she ever a doll! This little peanut is just the cutest, and she has the most amazing hair in the world! It’s so soft, and it fluffed up all over her head like baby bird feathers at the slightest touch of my hand. I fell in love instantly, and I have no doubt you will too!

Do you guys remember sweet Paizleigh? I did her newborn pictures almost a year ago, but you can be forgiven for not recognizing her—she has grown up so much! Her mama, Dezirae, brought her to one of my favorite fields in town, Willow Creek, for her one year baby photography session, and we had the best time! This was a mini session, so we kept it short and sweet, but we got some absolutely beautiful photos and I loved the unique look of a birthday photography session done outdoors. I usually do these types of sessions in the studio, so it was fun to try something a little different and it turned out really well. 

Isn’t Declan a sweetheart? His parents, Alexis and Robert, brought him in to my photography studio in Eugene, Oregon last month for baby pictures, and I loved getting to meet him! He is such a handsome fella and was a great little sleeper and a wonderful sport for me. We got so many beautiful pictures!

It was great to get together with Josh, Annabelle, and their two adorable daughters, Annalise and Thea, last month for a photo shoot of the girls. I have been photographing pretty regularly for this family since Annalise was a newborn, and it has been a delight to be a part of their lives. They are such nice people, and their girls are just the cutest!

I got to have sweet Amira in the studio last month for a baby photography mini milestone session. Amira is three months old now and such a cutie! Her parents, Nakkia and Jesse, made the drive all the way from Toledo and Albany (a drive of three hours and one hour, respectively, from my photography studio in Eugene, Oregon ). Talk about dedication! I’m so glad they were able to make it and think it’s great that they both wanted pictures together with their daughter and were willing to put forward that extra effort to make it happen. Amira is lucky to have such an amazing mom and dad who both love her to pieces!

Cori and Toby brought in baby number three last month for his newborn photography session! Little Lennon is the third newborn I have photographed for this wonderful family, which is a new milestone in my career as a Eugene, Oregon photographer , so it was extra special to have them in the studio this time. Older siblings Harrison and Holland came as well, and it was so fun to see them again!
