Lavender Field Maternity Photos: Summer Session Near Seattle
Dreaming of lavender field maternity photos? Discover a private Sequim farm, styling tips, and why the two-and-a-half-hour drive from Seattle is worth it.
Not sure where to have your maternity photos? You’re not alone.
Many expecting parents explore parks, beaches, and city backdrops, yet find none of them feels quite special enough.
You want something beautiful—something that feels a little different—but choosing the perfect setting for your maternity photos can feel surprisingly overwhelming.
Why I Head to the Lavender Farm Every July
Every summer, I reserve a handful of evenings at a quiet lavender farm in Sequim, WA, tucked into one of the prettiest corners of the Pacific Northwest.
Here’s what I love about it:
- Colors you won’t find anywhere else: the violet blooms, green stems, and peachy sunset sky do half the styling work for us.
- Private, crowd-free bliss: I rent a small section of the farm, so it’s just us—no spectators or photo-bombers.
- Sunset magic: The low sun turns the field into a soft, glowing backdrop that
makes the colors pop.
- Instant calm: The scent alone lowers shoulders and slows heartbeats (science backs this up—visiting a lavender field creates a soothing experience).
The Road Trip: Part of the Fun
From Seattle or Bellevue, it’s about two hours via Bainbridge ferry or 2 hours 15 minutes via Tacoma and the Hood Canal Bridge—but the journey is half the adventure:
- Scenic highways: Evergreen forests, mountain peaks, and water views line the route to Sequim.
- Built-in day trip: Many families grab brunch and stop for farm-stand ice cream – there are plenty of things to do in Sequim and nearby Port Angeles.
- Opportunity for a babymoon: Some couples decide to turn their maternity photoshoot into a weekend getaway before the baby arrives. The nearby town of Port Angeles offers several excellent places to stay and numerous relaxing activities to enjoy.
- Head-space reset: A road trip offers rare, quiet time to reflect on the little life you’re growing.
Kids Welcome—and They’ll Love It
Bringing older children? Perfect. The rows of lavender act like a natural maze, sparking curiosity and play. We’ll capture genuine giggles and those in-between moments that make your heart ache in the best way.

In Client’s Words
“Lana was amazing, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for maternity photos! My husband and I decided to drive up to Sequim for her lavender sessions in July, and it did not disappoint. She made us feel instantly at ease, directed us into natural poses, and captured that beautiful evening light perfectly. We were so happy with all of our photos.” –Caroline
