What to Wear for Spring Family Photos | Eugene Oregon Photographer
This is an unpopular opinion but as a Eugene, Oregon based photographer, I believe spring is the best season for family photo sessions in Oregon. Here’s why: Spring is a magical time for blossoming new life! The earth is lush with greenery, ferns, and moss. Wildflowers grow merrily. The days are getting warmer and the sun is starting to set later. Flowy dresses that dance in the fresh breeze against moody skies just makes sense. Plus, as most creatives would agree, I am in a more inspired space as a photographer after the slower pace of winter. If you’re thinking, that all sounds amazing! But what to wear for spring family photos? Then read on because this post is for you.

Where are the best spring locations?
For local Eugene spring locations, I love Hendricks Park, Mt Pisgah, and Alton Baker. But for truly epic views, Horse Rock Ridge, Bohemian Mountain, or Finley Wildlife Refuge are some of my favorites that are worth turning your sessions into a memorable experience and are guaranteed to create some truly priceless art for your walls.
What time is sunset in the spring?
Spring is the perfect balance for sunset timing because it’s still early enough for toddler’s bedtimes. I prefer to meet 1-2 hours before sunset, so sessions typically start around 6pm in the spring.

I am a lifestyle photographer based in Eugene, Oregon. I specialize in candid family and maternity sessions set against stunning locations like the Oregon Coast or Cascades. I also have a big love for intimate in-home family and newborn sessions.
In cultivating a lighthearted and welcoming atmosphere, my goal is to foster a relaxed and friendly dynamic during your photo session. My interactive and joyful approach focuses on capturing genuine moments. Parents who encourage their kids to be kids and explore nature, while trusting in the beauty of authentic connection, are my kind of families. I will provide direction as needed, but I will also step back and photograph your family not just for what you look like, but for who you are. Resulting in imagery that illustrates your family's unique story as masterful works of art.
I am also a wife, mama to two wild little things, yogi, nature lover, and dance party enthusiast. To me, family is everything. It's my main inspiration in life and I absolutely love connecting with others who share the same view.
