Gig Harbor newborn and Family Photographer
Real reasons parents hesitate—and why it’s still worth it.
Bringing home a baby is overwhelming. Between sleepless nights and endless to-dos, the idea of planning a photo session might feel like the last thing on your mind.
But this tiny chapter? It goes by in a blink.
I’ve designed my newborn sessions to be calming, simple, and baby-led—so even if you're running on coffee and cuddles, we’ll make it easy (and beautiful).
Common Concerns + Gentle Reassurance
“I’m too overwhelmed.”
Just show up. Everything’s taken care of—from wraps to wipes to soft music. You can nap, sip coffee, or watch Netflix while I gently guide the session.
“My baby’s already 3+ weeks old.”
No problem. We’ll create heartfelt, natural images at any stage. It’s never too late.
“It feels like a big expense.”
I offer flexible pricing because I believe these memories are worth holding onto.
“I don’t like being in photos.”
You don’t have to pose. You just get to be present—and if you'd prefer the spotlight on baby, that’s always an option too.
Why It’s Worth It:
These photos are for today and ten years from now.
They’re for when your baby asks, “Was I really that small?”
This is your beginning—let’s capture it beautifully.
Gig Harbor is one of the most picturesque towns in the Pacific Northwest—filled with waterfront views, charming shops, and a close-knit community that makes it such a wonderful place for families. As a Gig Harbor newborn and maternity photographer, I love capturing the joy of new beginnings, from the quiet sweetness of newborn portraits to the playful energy of family sessions by the water.
Studio Newborn & Milestone Sessions
Many Gig Harbor families choose my Lake Tapps studio, just a short drive away, for their newborn and milestone portraits. The studio is designed to make your experience stress-free—it’s warm, calm, and fully equipped with soft wraps, tiny outfits, and cozy blankets so you can simply relax while I create timeless images of your baby.
I also offer milestone sessions, including first birthday cake smashes—a joyful way to celebrate your little one’s first year. To preserve these memories, families often add an heirloom album, beautifully designed and crafted to last for generations.

For families who prefer outdoor portraits, Gig Harbor offers some incredible backdrops:
Downtown Gig Harbor Waterfront – Boats, docks, and views of the harbor make for charming, timeless images.
Skansie Brothers Park – A small park on the waterfront that captures the heart of Gig Harbor.

After a session, many families love to stop at local favorites like Cutters Point Coffee or Java & Clay Café for a treat. Turning your photography day into a little outing makes the experience even more memorable.
