Seattle NewBorn Photographer

Simple, timeless newborn photography for families throughout Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Tacoma, and the Eastside.

Every session is baby-led, relaxed, and designed to preserve the tiny details you'll never want to forget.

Tiny Details. Big Love.

You spent months waiting to meet them.

And then somehow, in the blink of an eye, they're here.

The sleepy cuddles.
The tiny eyelashes.
The way their hand wraps around your finger.

The newborn days are filled with so much love, and they pass more quickly than we ever expect.

Newborn sessions are designed to slow things down for a moment and preserve this beautiful season of your family's story. Together, we'll create timeless images that help you remember not only what your baby looked like, but what it felt like to finally hold them in your arms.

A Newborn Session That Fits Your Family

Every family welcomes a new baby differently, which is why I offer two newborn session experiences.

My Lake Tapps studio newborn sessions focus on creating timeless portraits of your baby while capturing all of the tiny details you'll never want to forget.

For families who prefer a more relaxed, storytelling approach, my in-home newborn sessions are designed to preserve the bigger picture—your family settling into this new season together. The cuddles on the couch, siblings peeking into the bassinet, and the everyday moments that make your story uniquely yours.

Whether you choose a studio or in-home session, my goal is the same: to create meaningful images that help you remember not only what this season looked like, but what it felt like.

Find the newborn session that feels right for your family.

The Art of Newborn Photography

My Lake Tapps studio offers a calm, comfortable space designed specifically for newborns and their families.

Using professional studio lighting, timeless styling, premium newborn props, and a baby-led approach, we create beautiful portraits that focus on what matters most—your baby and the love that surrounds them.

This option is perfect for:

• Families who love clean, timeless newborn portraits

• Capturing all of the tiny details you'll never want to forget

• Access to a carefully curated collection of premium wraps, blankets, headbands, bonnets, and newborn props

• Parents who want a fully guided experience from start to finish

• Creating heirloom artwork that will be treasured for generations

• Including parents and siblings in a relaxed, stress-free environment

These sessions are less about elaborate themes and trendy setups and more about preserving this fleeting season in an honest and meaningful way. Every prop and detail is intentionally chosen to complement your baby, never distract from them. The result is a collection of timeless images that remind you not only of what your baby looked like in those first days, but of how it felt to finally hold them in your arms.

Thinking about Maternity Photos Too?

Thinking About Maternity Photos Too?

One of my favorite things about this job is getting to watch families grow.

Many of the parents you see throughout my website first reached out while they were expecting. Months later, I had the honor of welcoming them back into my studio with their baby in their arms.

As beautiful as the newborn days are, there is something so special about the season before.

The waiting.
The wondering.
The excitement of imagining who your baby will be.

Maternity sessions give you a chance to pause and celebrate this chapter before everything changes. And trust me, one day your children will love seeing the photographs that show just how loved they were before they were even born.

If you're interested in documenting both your pregnancy and your newborn's first days, I recommend reaching out during your second trimester so we can begin planning both experiences together.

Whether you're drawn to a peaceful outdoor session or a more polished studio experience, I'd be honored to help tell the beginning of your family's story.

Preserve This Season

The newborn days have a way of slipping by before you're ready.

The sleepless nights feel long, yet somehow those tiny fingers, sleepy stretches, and curled-up toes begin to change in the blink of an eye.

Newborn photography gives you the chance to slow down and hold on to this fleeting season. To remember not only how small your baby was, but the overwhelming love, wonder, and connection that filled those first days together as a family.

Frequently Asked Questions

Seattle Newborn Photography That Feels Like Your Story

Every baby is different, and your newborn session should reflect that.

Some families love the timeless look of a posed studio session, while others prefer the relaxed and natural feeling of an in-home newborn session. My goal is never to force your baby or family into a style that doesn’t feel like you. Instead, I create photographs that preserve these early days honestly and beautifully—from tiny fingers and sleepy expressions to the connection your family already shares.

As a Seattle newborn photographer, I work with families throughout Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Sammamish, and the surrounding Puget Sound area. Whether this is your first baby or your fourth, these images become a meaningful reminder of the tiny details and love that filled the very beginning of your baby’s story.
