Seattle Maternity, Newborn, Family & Birthday Photography Sessions
If you know you want photos but are not yet sure which session fits best, this page will help you compare the options and choose the right next step.
Choosing the right session should feel clear, not overwhelming. Below, you can compare the main session types I offer, get a practical feel for what each one is best for, and head to the page with full pricing, package details, and booking information.
I photograph families throughout Seattle and the Eastside, with studio sessions in Kirkland, in-home newborn sessions across the Seattle area, and outdoor sessions at carefully chosen locations around the region.
If you are deciding between two options, start with the one that feels closest to what you need right now. The full page will help you narrow it down from there.
Choose the session that fits this season of life
Maternity Sessions
Maternity sessions are designed for expecting moms and growing families who want to document pregnancy before the baby arrives. Whether you are drawn to an outdoor session with a natural Pacific Northwest feel or a studio session with a simpler indoor plan, the maternity page will help you see which option fits you best.
Best for: Documenting pregnancy before the baby arrives.
Session options: Outdoor or studio.
Good timing: Most moms schedule during the early third trimester, when the bump is clearly visible but they are often still feeling fairly comfortable.
Newborn Sessions
Newborn sessions are for expecting parents and postpartum parents who want to preserve their baby’s earliest days and early family connection. I offer both studio and in-home newborn options, depending on the kind of experience and images you want most.
Many families plan for the first few weeks, but older newborns and young babies can still be photographed beautifully. The newborn page walks you through the options, timing, and what the experience can look like in real life.
Best for: Baby’s first days, first weeks, and early family connection.
Session options: Studio or in-home lifestyle.
Good timing: Many families plan for the early newborn stage, but there are still good options if your baby is already here or older than expected.
First Birthday Sessions
First birthday sessions are a beautiful way to mark your baby’s first year. These studio sessions can be simple and classic, or they can include a cake smash if that is the direction you want to go.
If you want to celebrate this milestone with portraits that feel timeless and personal, my first birthday session page will help you choose the option that best fits your family.
Best for: Babies approaching one year old.
Session options: First birthday cake smash or first birthday milestone.
Good timing: Many families book shortly before the birthday if they want images ready for a party, or around that time if they simply want to remember the milestone.
Family Sessions
Family sessions are for parents who want updated photos of their family as they are right now, but want the experience to feel manageable. These sessions focus on connection, natural interaction, and gently guided portraits that feel warm, genuine, and well put together.
Whether you are overdue for updated family photos or simply want to document this season with your kids, the family page is the best place to compare studio and outdoor options and get a realistic sense of what the session will actually feel like.
Best for: Updated family photos at any stage.
Session options: Outdoor or studio.
Good timing: Whenever it feels like it is time to document your family again.
What all sessions have in common
No matter which session you choose, the experience is meant to feel calm, clear, and well-guided, with images that feel natural and lasting.
You can see transparent pricing online before you book, so you are not left waiting for basic details or trying to guess what something costs.
Booking is simple. Choose your session, fill out a short form, and pay your deposit online.
After that, I send detailed prep guidance to help you feel ready, including practical planning help, styling support, and clear next steps.
During the session, I guide you with gentle direction instead of stiff posing, so the experience feels natural while the images still look polished and genuine.
My editing style is timeless, natural, and family-centered, with warm tones and a cohesive finish that is meant to hold up over time.
And because the full experience matters, I work hard to keep everything smooth from start to finish, with clear communication and a quick turnaround after your session.
