Natural Newborn Photographer – Eugene, Oregon

What Is Natural Newborn Photography?

When it comes to newborn photography, there’s a growing movement toward natural and baby-led sessions—an approach that focuses on capturing the essence of your newborn without forcing or over-staging the moments. As a mom of three, I deeply understand how quickly those first days and weeks fly by. That’s why I believe in creating a photographic experience that honors the raw, beautiful simplicity of this precious time. No awkward poses, no artificial props, just your baby as they are, in their purest form.

Baby-Led Photography: Letting Your Newborn Guide the Session

At its core, natural newborn photography is about following your baby’s cues. Instead of forcing your baby into specific poses or using distracting props, I let your newborn be the star of the show. Baby-led sessions mean that I photograph your little one in the most comfortable, natural positions they want to be in, whether that’s sleeping peacefully in your arms, curled up in a cozy pose, or simply stretching and yawning as they adjust to life outside the womb.

There’s no need to worry about your baby being positioned in unnatural or uncomfortable ways. I believe that newborn photography should feel just as natural and peaceful as the connection between you and your little one. You’ll see your baby as they truly are—without any distractions—captured in timeless moments that reflect their true essence.

Minimal Props, Maximum Focus

I limit the use of props in my sessions because I want all the attention to remain on your baby. There’s no need for over-the-top backdrops or excessive decorations. Instead, we use simple, neutral-colored blankets or wraps that provide a cozy, comforting space for your newborn to rest and be themselves. This way, the focus is always where it should be—on your baby’s delicate features, the soft curl of their tiny hands, and the way they look up at you with those first, wide-eyed expressions.

By using fewer props, I aim to create an environment that feels calm, serene, and authentic. No need for distractions—just your baby, your love, and your connection.

Unique, Not Cookie-Cutter

Every newborn is different, and so is every session. I take a custom approach to every photo session, meaning that your session will be unique to your baby’s personality and needs. There’s no “cookie-cutter” approach here, and I never Photoshop my photos to perfection. Instead, I embrace the natural imperfections that make your baby theirs—whether it’s a wrinkled little nose or a perfect little newborn yawn. These moments are what you will want to remember, and they’re what I strive to preserve in the most authentic way possible.

I want you to look at these photos years from now and feel the emotions of those early days—raw, real, and beautiful. It’s not about achieving a perfect portrait; it’s about capturing the essence of who your baby is and the love you share as a family.

A Personal Touch from a Mom Who Gets It

As a mom to three kids, I’ve experienced firsthand how quickly those first few weeks can pass. I get it—the exhaustion, the overwhelming love, the moments when your baby looks at you for the first time and you just want to hold on to it forever. That’s why I’ve come to value simplicity in newborn photography. In the midst of sleepless nights and endless diaper changes, it’s the raw, unposed moments that I remember most.

Those are the moments that you’ll want to hold onto too. And that’s exactly what I aim to capture—your baby’s story, in the most real and beautiful way possible.
