A Session That Fits Your Story

Before the sleepless nights, before the tiny fingers wrapped around yours, there is this.

The waiting.
The wondering.
The quiet excitement of knowing your life is about to change forever.

Outdoor maternity sessions are designed to slow things down for a moment and celebrate this beautiful in-between season. Surrounded by soft light and the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, we'll create timeless images that help you remember not only how you looked, but how it felt to be waiting for your baby.

Find Your Perfect Session

The Beauty of the Pacific Northwest

The Pacific Northwest offers some of the most beautiful backdrops for maternity photography, from quiet beaches and coastal views to open fields, forest trails, and mountain landscapes.

One of the things I love most about photographing maternity sessions in the Seattle area is the variety of locations available. Discovery Park remains one of my favorite places for maternity photography, with its soft natural light, grassy fields, winding trails, and breathtaking views of Puget Sound. For families who love mountain scenery, locations like Rattlesnake Lake and Meadowbrook Farm offer a different kind of beauty while still being accessible and comfortable during pregnancy.

But these sessions are about more than the location itself.

Rather than focusing on perfect poses, my goal is to create space for you to slow down, connect, and simply enjoy this season together. The best photographs often come from the quiet in-between moments — a hand resting on your growing belly, the way your partner looks at you, or the anticipation of meeting the little person you've been waiting for.

Many of the families I work with travel from Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Sammamish, and Tacoma for their maternity session. Whether you're envisioning a peaceful beach at sunset, an open field filled with soft evening light, or a location that feels uniquely meaningful to your family, I'll help you choose a setting that complements your story.

These sessions are perfect for parents who:

• Love natural, candid moments over stiff posing

• Want a relaxed experience that feels effortless and enjoyable

• Are drawn to timeless, organic imagery inspired by the Pacific Northwest

• Want photographs that preserve not only what this season looked like, but what it felt like

The Simplicity of the Studio

If you prefer an indoor setting, I also offer maternity sessions in a beautiful natural light studio in Seattle.

Filled with soft window light and neutral tones, the studio provides a calm, comfortable space to slow down and celebrate this season before your baby arrives. Without worrying about the weather or distractions, the focus remains on you, your growing baby, and the connection you already share.

This option is perfect for:

• A clean, timeless aesthetic

• Mothers who prefer an indoor environment

• Beautiful natural light year-round

• A relaxed experience that feels simple and effortless

Many mothers choose the studio for its ease and simplicity. Just beautiful light, a cozy space, and an opportunity to pause for a moment and remember what it felt like to be waiting for your baby.

The Art of Motherhood

My Lake Tapps studio offers a different experience from my outdoor and natural light sessions.

Using professional studio lighting and a carefully curated collection of gowns, we create timeless portraits that highlight the beauty of pregnancy in a simple and artistic way.

This option is perfect for:

• Mothers who love an elegant, fine art aesthetic

• A more polished and intentional look

• Access to my studio wardrobe

• Creating heirloom portraits to pass down to your children

These sessions are less about trends and more about creating something lasting. Images that remind you not only of how you looked during this season, but of the incredible journey that brought your baby into your arms.

Planning Newborn Photos Too?

Many of the families you see throughout my website first reached out during pregnancy and returned again once their baby arrived.

While maternity sessions are all about celebrating this season of anticipation, newborn sessions preserve the tiny details that change before you even realize it — sleepy snuggles, tiny fingers and toes, and those first days together as a family.

If you're thinking about newborn photos as well, I recommend reaching out during your second trimester so we can reserve space around your due date.

Whether you prefer a cozy in-home session or timeless studio portraits, I'd love to help you document this next chapter too.

Preserve This Season

Pregnancy is one of the shortest and longest seasons all at once.

Days can feel slow, yet somehow this chapter passes before you know it.

Maternity photography gives you the chance to pause, celebrate your growing baby, and remember the anticipation, excitement, and love that already surrounds them before they arrive.
