Seattle Maternity, Newborn & Family Photographer

I create warm, natural photographs of your family as you are now—the expressions, the connection, and the small details you want to remember. You’ll have clear guidance throughout your session.

Based in Kirkland, I photograph families across Seattle and the Eastside.

In the Studio, Outdoors, or at Home

I photograph families from Seattle and the Eastside, with settings to suit different sessions and the photographs you have in mind.

My Kirkland Studio

My private Kirkland studio is designed to feel welcoming to families and cozy for newborn photography. I also photograph maternity, milestone, birthday, and family sessions here.

Outdoors Around Greater Seattle

Outdoor maternity and family sessions take place at selected locations around Greater Seattle, with natural scenery and room to move. Location options depend on the session you choose.

In-Home Newborn Sessions

For Seattle-area in-home newborn sessions, I come to you. I photograph your baby and family together, with the familiar surroundings of your home as the setting.

The Experience Behind Your Photographs

Natural-looking photographs are thoughtfully made. I draw on experience to know when a little direction will help, when to adjust, and when to let an interaction unfold.

Preparation That Helps You Feel Ready

Your prep guide explains what to expect and how to prepare for your chosen session. The online styling service helps you coordinate outfits that photograph well together without everyone dressing alike.

Guidance That Adapts to Your Family

I’ll show you where to stand, how to turn, or what to do with your hands, then adapt to how your family responds. A child who wants to move may need a different prompt; a newborn’s cues may call for a pause. You’ll know what to do, with room for expressions and interactions that come naturally.

Visual Choices That Work Together

I use light, posing, and composition to draw attention to the people in the photograph. In a family portrait, a small change in how you’re positioned can help show your connection. For styled newborn portraits, I choose colors, wraps, props, and backgrounds that complement your baby. Editing brings the gallery together, with natural-looking skin tones and a consistent finish.

My aim is a cohesive collection that brings you back to this time in your family’s life—not only how everyone looked, but something of how it felt.

What Families Say

We booked Lana, for the first time for our holiday cards. We have two teenagers, a six year old and a four year old. Lana managed to wrangle us all, was so quick and efficient, and was professional and kind. Our photos turned out amazing!

Lana is a true artist. She took great care in creating beautiful images of our family. We did an outdoor maternity shoot with our toddler followed by a newborn session in her studio. Both exceeded our expectations. She was wonderful with both our toddler and our newborn.

My husband and I absolutely loved our experience. We worked with Lana for a maternity shoot and are thrilled with the results. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera (which is quite a feat), she was clear in her instruction and guidance, and made it a very fun environment overall.

Meet Lana

Hi, I’m Lana—a photographer and mom of three.

I love making portraits that are beautifully composed and personal. A familiar expression, a small gesture, the way two people look at each other—those are the details that hold my attention.

Your session may be our first together or one of many. For returning families, there’s a familiar face behind the camera and new photos that feel at home alongside the ones we’ve made before.
