Lifestyle In-Home Newborn Session

I continue to follow along with the Doyle’s first year of parenthood and document their new normal after bringing sweet baby Elodie home to their townhouse in Portland, Oregon. (We started with their maternity session at Pittock Mansion)

The simple white onesie, do you know why I love it? These teeny babes are so new and so fresh, their world is just as simple as that onesie. They don’t have a favorite color or character, they are a blank canvas 🖤

whole world began to change.⁠

One of the first questions I’ll ask when you book your lifestyle newborn in-home session is, “Where’s the best light?”

I’m a sucker for a gorgeous window full of light. You can have the tiniest home and all you need is one window to create beautiful moments.

You can see how dark their rest of the room is behind mom and dad, but that soft, overcast Portland light creates such an incredible spotlight on this family.

Little bits and pieces can spotlight what time of year you bring your baby home.

Is there anything more perfect than watching your babe sleep on the couch with your partner? It’s so sweet how safe they feel.

Looking for a newborn photographer?

Do you live around Portland, Oregon and are expecting a baby this year? There’s not much I’d rather be doing than photographing you in your “new normal” snuggling and bonding with that sweet babe. Reach out today and cross newborn photos off of your pre-baby checklist if you’ve decided I’m the photographer for you.

    a bittersweet farewell…

    It is with a heavy heart that I announce the closure of Meg Ross Photography. After much reflection and consideration following the death of my husband and children's father, I have made the difficult decision to close my business. This decision was not made lightly, and it comes after a great deal of contemplation about healing from grief and how to best show up for my children..

     

    I want to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for allowing me to be a part of your special moments. It has been an honor and a privilege to capture the beauty and emotion of childbirth for so many families. Your trust and support have meant the world to me, and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of your lives.

     

    Hugs and oxytocin,
    Meg Ross
