  • Why are newborn portraits so important?

    This timeframe is so brief for a family, but it's life-changing. You have been dreaming about what this little piece of you looks liked for 9 months and what better way than to document the first precious weeks with professional portraits of your newborn baby. 


    The newborn phase usually goes by so fast for mothers and fathers. It is all a blur because of the sleepless nights, and stressing over every little breath and movement. Booking newborn portraits is a way to preserve those fleeting precious memories. These images will be looked back on when your baby is all grow and perhaps has babies of their own.

  • When is the best time to book my newborn photography session?

    The best time to book your newborn photography session is actually anytime during your pregnancy! I can photograph newborns up until they are 4 weeks old. I prefer between 12 days and 21 days old as they are squishy and easily poseable for multiple prop options. If your baby is a preemie, message me as these timeframes are quite different. Of course, I'm able to work with you to get the best time possible.


    These sessions are booked tentatively off of due dates and within 72 hours after birth, you contact me to get on the schedule. I limit the number of newborns I take each month, so the sooner the better to ensure your session.

  • Where will the photography session take place?

    All newborn and milestone portraits are taken at my private studio in Junction City, OR 97448. This location is ideal for anyone in Eugene, Springfield, Junction City, Harrisburg, Veneta, and surrounding areas.


  • How long does the newborn photography session take?

    Newborn photography sessions usually take between 2-4 hours allowing time to feed, change and soothe your baby in between sets. 


    Please be sure to bring snacks and entertainment for siblings. Or if you live close by then having someone that can take siblings home after their participation, is best so we can focus on just newborn after family poses.

  • Do I need to bring anything with me to my session?

    Nope - I am a full-service newborn studio, if you choose to include anything personal please just let me know ahead of time so I can plan how to incorporate it. Parents and siblings are asked to dress in solid neutral clothing for parent shots. I also carry some gowns for mom so please bring nude panties/strapless bra, please let me know if this is something you may be interested in.

  • What props do you have?

    I have a large variety of beautiful photography props, each hand chosen by me. Prior to your session, you will be asked to fill out a questionnaire so that I know more about you and your little one to help me prepare for your session. From there, we can discuss different themed sets, a rainbow of colors, textures, outfits, wrap choice options, and much more.


    I am constantly updating my inventory with current trends. 

  • What is my galleries expected turn around time?
