Eugene Oregon Maternity Photographer: Chandni and Family
Happy January, everyone! The end of the December and the beginning of January is always an interesting time as I wrap up one year and look forward to another. I feel like life is always changing—whether you’re welcoming a new little one to the family or adjusting to smaller shifts and transitions. No matter what changes life brings, January always feels like a season of new beginnings, so I think it’s only appropriate that we start this year off with some lovely maternity pho

Eugene Oregon Christmas Photographer | Pictures with Santa
Merry Christmas! As we look forward to Christmas this week I thought today would be the perfect time to share a little holiday cheer. All of my Christmas sessions happen on one busy day, usually in November, and it’s always one of my favorite parts of the year! Nothing beats the excitement of kids during the holidays, and it’s so fun to see their faces light up as we capture special moments together. Usually I do about half the day with Santa and half without, but this year I

Eugene Oregon Newborn and Family Photographer: Welcome Noriel!
The temperatures are getting colder out there, but there’s nothing that warms the heart like a sweet newborn and family photo session.

She didn’t do professional photos with her other children and wishes she did. I can totally understand this. As a new mom, things are so busy…and they don’t get any calmer whe

Eugene Oregon Maternity Photographer: Amanda and Maisy
A maternity session is more than photographs—it’s a love letter to your future self! I was so honored to help record this part of Amanda’s journey. Amanda did an outdoor maternity session with me earlier, but she also wanted to come to me for a studio session with her daughter Maisy. I photographed Amanda when she was pregnant with Maisy and also did newborn photos for her, so it was wonderful to spend time with the two of them in my Eugene, Oregon portrait studio. First, it

Eugene Oregon Milestone and Family Photographer | Julia's 6-Month with Family
I had so much fun looking back at this pretty springtime session from earlier in the year. I’ve been photographing Jerome and Kristina’s family for several years now and it is always such a pleasure! This time, they booked a combination 6-month milestone for their younger daughter Julia plus family photos. Julia is just one of the smiliest and happiest babies in the world. She is always such a cutie and so much fun! I couldn’t believe how much she’d grown already. And big sis
