Devin and Lee brought their beautiful new daughter Violet to my Eugene, Oregon photography studio in November for newborn pictures. What a sweet baby girl! She had the most luxurious dark hair and beautiful skin. Hope you enjoy scrolling through her photos!

Is anyone else ready for spring? The sun has been peeking out a little bit the last couple days and I’ve seen a few daffodils in bloom. I am so looking forward to warmer weather! No matter what the weather is like though, these pictures should bring a ray of sunshine to your day.

The Coleman family was back in the studio in November and I was so excited to see them all! I’ve gotten to know this family really well over the past few years since becoming their family photographer . My first session with them was when their oldest, Goldie, was a year old, and we’ve been meeting regularly to record their family memories ever since.

It’s certainly cold outside, but that’s the perfect weather for a snow sports themed baby photography session in the warmth of my studio. Shirree brought adorable Graham in a for a mini “sitter” session before Christmas. He did such a great job and I love the way our pictures turned out!

Time to put together a baby registry! It’s easy to get lost in all the accessories and high-tech newborn gear, so we’ve simplified the process by putting together a list of baby registry must haves for 2020.

Tawni brought in adorable Logan for a shark-themed cake smash at the end of last year. I haven’t seen them since I did Logan’snewborn pictures , so it was wonderful to have them in my Eugene, Oregon photography studio again. Logan’s gotten so big! He was a preemie, but did a great job putting on weight and getting big and strong right from the start. Loved seeing him a year out and getting to know his fun personality.

Expecting a boy? One of the many exciting things you’ll need to consider is the perfect name. There’s a lot to think about when choosing a baby name for your son. Do you want a family name or something completely new? Something unusual or more traditional? If you’re having trouble choosing, it can be helpful to research baby naming trends so you have an idea of what types of names are on the rise and which are on the downturn. I’ve done a little research to get you started, so read on to see what boy baby names are predicted to be popular in 2020!
