Portland Newborn Portrait Photography with Baby Wells

“I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle.”

– Vincent Van Gogh

John’s Landing Newborn Portraits

After documenting Jamie’s maternity session in October, I was thrilled when she invited me to her home to photograph baby Wells’ newborn photos! Large windows overlooking the Willamette River created beautiful, soft, natural light for each portrait. Baby Wells slept peacefully for most of the session, waking up only at the end to show off his beautiful eyes. We included Jamie’s cello in a few photos as a personal prop. It was lovely to include some precious moments with grandma as well.
