Heidi Rakas Photography

NICE TO MEET YOU! Hi there, I'm Heidi, the lady behind Heidi Rakas Photography. I specialize in natural, timeless newborn photography that captures the quiet, emotional moments of your baby’s earliest days. My approach is relaxed and baby-led, ensuring a stress-free experience for you and your family. With a cozy home studio in Eugene, I’ve created a warm and inviting space where parents can truly enjoy the session—complete with a play area for siblings, lattes for parents, and a thoughtfully curated client closet. I also offer in-home and Fresh 48 sessions for those who want to document these fleeting moments in a familiar setting. My style is organic, minimal, and emotive, blending traditional newborn portraits with lifestyle photography to create images that feel both natural and deeply personal. I focus on preserving these moments as heirloom-quality artwork, offering beautifully crafted albums and fine art prints so your memories can be cherished for generations. Every family’s story is unique, and I’m honored to help tell yours through heartfelt, timeless images. With a background as a special education teacher, I bring patience and understanding to every photography session, especially when working with children. It’s such a gift to photograph timeless keepsakes that celebrate the love and connection within families, and I’d love to share it with you!
