As the best maternity photographer in Seattle for parents seeking film-inspired studio photography I believe pregnancy is pure magic. It's a fleeting time when you’re growing a life, dreaming of the future, and radiating a beauty that deserves to be celebrated.
I encourage Seattle parents to get maternity portraits taken most of all because they're the photos I wish most of all that I had. I flip through my son's baby books, and my heart just hurts missing those precious moments - wishing I had beautiful portraits of a time I felt so connected to my baby boy and to the world at large in such a special unique way.

Printed artwork is the finished product.
Time moves faster than we expect, and I know this not only as a Seattle maternity photographer but as a mother. I told myself I would document my pregnancy when life felt calmer, and then suddenly I was too big and uncomfortable, the nursery was finished, and then my baby was in my arms. There was no clear sign that now was the time to document that sacred season; it simply flew by. Motherhood has taught me that pregnancy does not wait, which is why now matters, and why turning this chapter into printed artwork is essential so this fleeting season is not just remembered, but honored and preserved in your home for years to come.

I’ll guide you with styling and playful prompts so your session feels more like family time than posing. These lighthearted moments are often the ones parents treasure most.

Styling has always been such a big part of how I tell a story. Over the years, I’ve slowly built a client closet filled with pieces that feel like something out of a memory… soft light, quiet mornings, a little bit romantic, a little bit nostalgic. I’m endlessly inspired by elegant, old-world styling, so every dress I bring in is chosen to feel elevated without ever feeling like too much.

Is family included in our Seattle maternity photography session?
When do I get my maternity portraits taken?
What should I wear for my maternity photos?
I love family maternity sessions. It's all about the connection. Whether it’s just you, your partner, and the baby belly, or you’re welcoming your third kiddo, it’s important that everyone is included.
However, if you prefer we can make this moment all for you. Let's put on your favorite music, wear a pretty dress, and find just the right lighting all for you mama.
I typically photograph Seattle maternity portrait sessions between when you're in your late 2nd early 3rd trimester. The aim is to capture your gorgeous round belly before you reach the uncomfortable stage of pregnancy. This timeframe usually achieves that, though there are always exceptions, such as when you're expecting twins.
I'm so glad you asked! I offer a growing client closet that accommodates the bump, plus a few options for small siblings. Normally, these dresses by brands like Nothing Fits But, Doen, and Worth Collective cost hundreds of dollars - but you can wear these for your session at no extra cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I reserve my maternity session?
Where do i go for hair and makeup?
what locations do you photograph?
I always recommend doing this early in your second trimester, to ensure that we have availability on our calendar. Most families also reserve their Seattle newborn photography session at the same time, too!
For every session I hold, I send an email with a list of amazing makeup artist professionals who can create natural and neutral looks that won't overpower your gorgeous face. I highly recommend hiring a makeup artist, but if that's not your preference, I've also included DIY tips to make your portraits shine.
I rent several different studio locations so you always have a choice of location that fits your story. I love natural light studios and lifestyle locations that feel and look elegant and upscale. Reach out via inquiry or schedule a phone call to get the full information and chat.
