Olympia Family & Maternity Photographer

 

Olympia has such a special charm—nestled at the southern end of Puget Sound, it’s known for waterfront views, family-friendly neighborhoods, and a welcoming community. As an Olympia newborn and maternity photographer, I love capturing the joy of new beginnings, whether that’s a cozy newborn session in my Lake Tapps studio or maternity portraits surrounded by the natural beauty of Olympia.

Studio Newborn & Milestone Sessions

My Lake Tapps studio, about an hour from Olympia, was designed with babies and parents in mind. It’s warm, quiet, and fully stocked with everything from soft wraps and tiny outfits to cozy blankets and props. Families can simply relax while I focus on creating portraits you’ll treasure.

In addition to newborn and maternity portraits, I offer milestone sessions, including first birthday cake smashes. Many Olympia families also choose to create heirloom albums, beautifully crafted keepsakes designed to preserve these memories for generations.

Favorite Olympia Photography Locations

Olympia is full of beautiful outdoor spots for maternity and family portraits:

  • Percival Landing Park – Waterfront boardwalk with sailboats and Capitol views.

  • Priest Point Park – Mossy trails and forest backdrops with space for kids to explore.

  • Burfoot Park – Evergreen-lined beaches with year-round charm.

  • Heritage Park & Capitol Lake – Golden-hour water views.

  • Tumwater Falls Park – Waterfalls, bridges, and lush greenery.

  • Tolmie State Park – Forest trails and Puget Sound beach access.

  • Nisqually Boardwalk (Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually Wildlife Refuge) – Wetlands, long boardwalks, and mountain views on a clear day.

Local Favorites in Olympia

Families often like to make their photo session a special day by stopping at local favorites like Olympia Coffee Roasting or Left Bank Pastry before or after their session—a sweet way to celebrate the occasion.

Preserve Your Olympia Family Memories

Whether we’re photographing newborn portraits in my Lake Tapps studio, maternity photos at Capitol Lake, or family portraits along the Nisqually Boardwalk, my goal as an Olympia maternity and newborn photographer is to capture these fleeting, beautiful moments in timeless images that your family will treasure for years.
