Eugene's Best Photographer's Best Moments of 2025

We look back on an incredible year.

Join us as we celebrate 40 of the BEST moments of 2025!

Local Eugene realtor, Leah Hyland, of Haven Lane Realty chose a custom branding session, featuring some of her passions: a well designed and styled home, her Newfoundland dogs, and the connection shared with her husband.

Ashley and Braden had a wintry engagement session months before they said, "I do." With gorgeous sunlight (and support with our expertise in lighting), these two snuggled up for some romantic and memorable moments along the water's edge at Doris Ranch.

Annie came to us, just shy of her due date, for maternity portraits that would be art pieces to remember this incredible season of pregnancy by. A family member we have worked with a few times before arranged this as a gift for her; it was such a touching gesture of love! This soft, monochromatic scene in our Eugene studio was one of four looks--and a favorite of ours!

Catie is a marketing and communications expert, and knows the power of imagery. Her branding session was a mix of headshots and more, and she left with vibrant photos that have a clear message of expertise and connection.

This Lundquist College of Business student from University of Oregon celebrated the completion of his program with us just before commencement day. From smart style to Duck fan apparel, Braden showed up for this moment--just before his next big step.

The White family shares a love of athleticism in Track Town USA (cross country runners to physical therapists alike) and incredible smiles. We met on a fall morning at Alton Baker--near Pre's Trail, of course--for laughter and family portraits that make a house feel even more like home.

Therapist and owner of Soul Revival, Sophia wanted branding portraits that felt welcoming, warm, and grounded for her prospective and current clients.

Dr. Chrissy of Duality Pelvic Health is passionate about both healing and strengthening. We spent the day between both her clinic space in downtown Eugene and her CrossFit gym in Springfield.

Sandy Brown Jensen is a creator: of art and connection! She is active in her communities (Eugene’s PhotoZone included), collaborative-minded, and a artist with a special touch in a unique gold-leafing technique. Her art pieces became a feature in her studio branding session this year.

Downtown spaces are a favorite for us. So, when another shares the love of things urban, edgy, and colorful, we can hardly wait to create! This family session's backdrop: an iconic mural in the heart of downtown Eugene. This Clark family teen sibling and the vibrancy make us smile!

Senior sessions are time capsules of sort. We see these energetic teens coming into adulthood and wonder at their formation. Their remarkable strengths and talents, their unique passions and interests, and their fashion all deserve a moment to shine! Finn started his session at his Robotic's team (Fibonnaci FTC) room in Fall Creek with a robot he helped program, progressed to a stop at a local record store, and finished on UO's campus nearby.

Thurston High School senior, Jonathan is a multi-sport athlete with a powerful energy. Beginning at THS's football field—home of the Colts!—in his decorated letterman jacket, we later gave a full moment to his spring sport featured here: lacrosse.

The Speer family--along with so many other families--was long overdue for this family portrait moment. We spent a summer day at Mt Pisgah wandering the trails and riverside banks.

Eugene realtor, Katie Wilson of Windermere was ready for an update to the long-held headshot of old. She elevated with branding portraits that speak to her expertise, her kindness, and the hands-on service she provides for her clients.

This Sheldon High School senior wanted it all: an urban edge, a girly moment, and a moment to feature her favorite sport of cross country. Callie's session started at sunrise downtown and finished with a backlit golden field.

Jasmine came for her second session with us, this time, in her professional role as realtor of Sold by Frankly. In our Eugene studio on one of our Branding Event Days, she was able to level up her entire branding suite--and we love it! Check out her website to see more.

Mary was looking for a stand-out moment. As a motorsports marketer, we knew we could step into something unexpected and eye-catching along with a mix of more classically versatile images too.

Local Eugene attorney, Hannah needed a headshot for her Law Office's website. She too came on one of our Branding Event Days to elevate her presence with prospective clients and connections.

One of our photography studio’s beloved hair and makeup artists, DaraLyn was ready for an update to her family portraits, with her little one turning two and her family growing as well. With her request of a location with flowers, our team coordinated with a colorful space with both sunflowers (pictured here) and dahlias too. It was an incredible sight with a family we adore!

Dr. Stuart Silberman specializes in stress management and interactive neurofeedback at his Eugene office, and was ready for a fresh take to his branding.

Working with a team of professionals from Affinity Property Group, we created both a headshot for each team member’s use and created this group portrait too. Powerful!

Musicians are often stepping into our studio--and we love that! Heather Mills, a musician herself (trumpet her main instrument) was honored to have a talented conductor and clinician, Bob in studio this year. Also a musician, you can find him featured in local ensembles: Eugene Symphonic Band and Oregon Brass Society.

Claire first came to us for her professional headshots, and this year, for her family and newborn portraits--after she and her husband welcomed their sweet little girl to the world! Their whole family, Scottish Terrier included, spent an afternoon at Owen Rose Garden in the lovely blooms to cherish the season with their newborn.

Bruce and Diane said "I do," enjoying an entire weekend with family and friends-who-are-like-family at Mt Tom House in the Coburg Hills just north of Eugene. It was a beautiful gathering, tastefully coordinated by Becky at Event Crush.

This lovely realtor with Hybrid Real Estate, Amber shined in her branding session. A favorite for us was this black-on-black look for her--it's so sophisticated!

A big re-branding project involved a talented videographer (check out Deej with Innerbloom Studios) and a passionate team at Two Rivers Dental, led by Dr. Matthew Collins. It was a real treat to be on set for the day to provide imagery for the update.

Leigh is a play therapist--and incredibly fun! We love the whimsy and the warmth in her headshot and branding images from our Eugene studio.

The McKenzie Wealth Management offices in Eugene came back to us again this year for a few updates, including Ronda's own headshot.

The Kunze family has been a treasure to us: starting with their oldest daughter a few years ago, and then their middle son, we've had the honor of capturing high school senior portraits, plus family portraits in 2025.

Lucas, a Sheldon High School senior and talented runner (you can find him competing at the top in both cross country and track seasons), had his final of three looks at the SHS track. This was a movie star moment!

A business transformation leader and breathwork coach, Kevin used the last half of 2025 to start building towards something big. We are honored to be a part of his next step in helping others.

New to the Eugene area this year, Kathleen was looking for new beginnings in a years-old passion: theater. What a talent! We can hardly wait to see her take the stage, and see her incredible headshots in the program!

Rowan's high school senior session is one of metal and grunge and a whole lot of edge. With a gothic look in the woods to this model moment downtown, we love to once again say: senior portraits are about the senior—custom, individual, unique.

An individual and relationship coach, Kristin of Collier Connections is passionate about giving others space and guidance in healing and change. We met her at her own Studio Joy and created a set of images that make for a striking rebrand.

Michelle, a digital manager, needed a headshot for the nation-wide company she's a team member of--a perfect fit for our Studio Event Day at our Eugene studio!

From brass (see Bob above) to strings, music in our space delights! Alicia had waited a few years since she first fell in love with our work, and knew when it was time, she'd be in for a real treat! In addition to portraits that speak to her role as a violin instructor at Mora Violin Studio, we also gave her dynamic, stand-out images in this stage-worthy gown.

Jonnie rebranded in 2025--and AI headshots sure weren't cutting it! Her custom session was a mix of indoor (at her downtown workplace) and outdoor moments, all showing off her personality and her style.

When a referral is sent our way, we're truly grateful. This referral came from a fellow Eugene Symphonic Band musician and another area photographer. For this (almost) 50th wedding anniversary, a gathering for family portraits was the goal. 3 generations and whole lot of love expressed in the Wallmark family's backyard made for an unforgettable moment.

It's a milestone that mustn't be missed celebrating: pregnancy! Courtney came to us for her maternity session, and celebrate we did! With florals, fabrics, fun color, and more!

There are so many more moments to share... but not all publicly! To see the Best of 2025's for boudoir, you'll have to jump on over to our Private Facebook group HERE. We'll see you there, ladies!
