Happy New Year - 2015 Round-Up: Eugene, Oregon Photography
It is with a profound sense of gratitude that I close the book on 2015. The year marked the most fulfilling and productive for my little photography business. I cannot adequately express the appreciation I feel towards each and every one of you that has given me the opportunity to create memories for you and your family. Each photo I give to each client has a piece of me in it - I look at all of your smiling, laughing, joyful faces (and some other expressions as well!) and ca
Wyatt Newborn Session: Eugene, Oregon Family Photographer, Lifestyle Newborn Sessions
Throwback Thursday to one of my favorite shoots I've ever done, my second sweet nephew, Wyatt. Newborn photo shoots are hard. They take patience, expertise, experience, and TIME. The vision of a new baby in that beautiful snug-as-a-bug-in-a-rug photo with their sweet new addition propped up on his or her hands in the froggy pose wearing an adorable bonnet is what many potential clients have in mind. That is something I'm not equipped to do! Photography is not my full-time job
Adrianne's Maternity - Eugene, Oregon Maternity, Newborn Photographer
Another day, another beautiful new mama-to-be! Adrianne owns Hot Shots Coffee in Creswell (one of my frequent haunts) and one of her baristas approached me about getting Adrianne a maternity session gift certificate! Of course, I loved the idea :). We were lucky enough to get another gorgeous, winter day as well as a beautiful location. Adrianne brings new meaning to the term "pregnancy glow" as she was absolutely radiant! I mean, it was sort of ridiculous! Cannot wait to mee
Jennifer + Junior Engagement, Eugene, Oregon Wedding Photographer
Who would have guessed that a weekend in February would be so beautiful? These two young lovebirds and I headed south to a location we knew would be green even in winter and ended up being in awe of the perfect weather and light that we had! Jennifer was in a tank top! This session was fun and easy and the gorgeous images just kept coming and coming. Jennifer and Junior are so sweet and in love - I can't wait to shoot their wedding this August! Here are SOME of my favorites -
Michele & Kyle Engagement - Eugene, Oregon Wedding Photographer
A gorgeous fall day with less than gorgeous weather...Enter Oregon. Because it's Thursday, I felt I could get away with a little bit of a throw back. Not far, just to the fall of 2014 :) Remember, I'm playing catch up a bit here on the blog. Michele and I had been emailing about the beautiful fall colors. The day of the scheduled photo shoot came and it was POURING rain! We emailed in the morning and discussed maybe having a super cute umbrella to pose with or even postponing
Tara's Maternity Shoot - Eugene, Oregon Maternity Photographer and Family Photographer
I'm going to be honest from the get-go here...I am in LOVE with this photo shoot! It doesn't hurt that my friend since 2nd grade, Tara, was the lovely subject matter along with her baby bump; but the lighting, the colors, the location...all perfect! I loved Tara's color choices - they contrasted, but didn't conflict with the winter atmosphere of February and then we were lucky enough to get gorgeous, warm light. It was so exciting to be able to get such a beautiful shoot even
Lifestyle Newborn Session - Baby Michael: Eugene, Oregon Family and Newborn Photographer
Lifestyle Newborn session #2 in a three day period :) Baby Michael was less pleased to cater to the paparazzi as Baby Clyde had been before, but his mom eventually convinced him it was okay to take a brief nap. That is the beauty of lifestyle sessions, even with a reluctant newborn, because we are in the home environment, we can be flexible. For Baby Michael, his sisters ended up taking the reins of the photo shoot and cuddling with him on their bed. Ultimately, the sibling p
Lifestyle Newborn - Baby Clyde. Eugene, Oregon Lifestyle Photographer. Newborns, Maternity, Families
Remember me? I used to blog my photo shoots? Well, hopefully, I am back. I know that staying connected with my clients and followers is very important and it is my plan to be better at it in 2015 (try to avoid looking at the calendar and noticing that I am already almost 3 months behind in this resolution!) This year has already been beautiful and productive for me behind the lens. I had the unexpected thrill of THREE newborn boys being born in a 7 day period, all of which I
Year in Review - 2014 - Eugene, Oregon Wedding Photographer, Family Photographer
Happy New Year! As I started to prepare this blog post, I (shamefully) noticed that my last post was MONTHS ago - back in September. Rest assured that no news is good news and I have been so wonderfully busy that, unfortunately, the blog has taken a back seat! Of course, that leads to 2015 Resolution #1 - at least attempt to stay more up to date on the blog. I know that it is fun for my clients to see some featured images and read the recap of their shoot and so I plan to del
Madison, Senior Rep - Eugene, Oregon Senior Photographer, Senior Portraits
I am so excited to finally share with you Madison's gorgeous, breathtaking (insert more, endless adjectives here) senior rep session. My July and August have been blissfully busy and, as a result, the blogging has lagged...but I will be catching up in the couple weeks ahead (will I, though?) On to Madison - my very first official senior rep for Kelsea Joann Photography! Yay! She will always hold an extra special place in my heart just for that - not to mention that she was, h
