Mercer Island Maternity, Newborn & Family Photographer

Lana Sky Photography has photographed Seattle-area families since 2008. The process is calm, clear, and practical, with transparent pricing, detailed prep, and experience working with newborns, babies, toddlers, siblings, and real family dynamics.

Photography Sessions for Mercer Island Families

Mercer Island families are in a convenient spot for Lana Sky Photography. The Kirkland studio is usually about a 20-minute drive from Mercer Island, roughly 10 to 12 miles away depending on where you live on the island.

That makes the studio a practical option for newborn, milestone, birthday, maternity, and studio family sessions. Many Mercer Island clients appreciate that the studio is close enough to keep the day of the session manageable, especially with a newborn or young child.

Outdoor sessions also work well from Mercer Island because of its geographic location. Kirkland Marina and downtown Kirkland, Redmond-area parks, and many Seattle parks are all within a comfortable distance, which gives families several good options without making the session feel like a major production.

For in-home newborn sessions, I travel to any home on Mercer Island. These sessions are a good fit if you want to stay home after baby arrives, include siblings more naturally, or keep the focus on your baby and family connection without needing your home to look perfect.

Each main service page below explains the session options, pricing, process, and next steps in more detail.

Studio, Outdoor, and In-Home Options

Studio Sessions Near Mercer Island

The Kirkland studio is the main indoor option for maternity, newborn, milestone, birthday, and studio family sessions. From Mercer Island, it is generally about 20 minutes away by car.

The studio works well when you want a predictable setting, a clean final look, or photos that are not dependent on weather. For newborn and milestone sessions, the space is already prepared, so you do not have to set up your home or plan around outdoor timing.

Outdoor Sessions Close to Mercer Island and Beyond

Mercer Island families are well positioned for both Eastside and Seattle outdoor locations. Depending on the season, light, and the look you want, we may use places such as Kirkland Marina, downtown Kirkland, Redmond-area parks, or Seattle parks.

You do not need to choose the perfect location before reaching out. After booking, I’ll help you narrow the options so the setting fits the session and the drive feels realistic for your family.

In-Home Newborn Sessions on Mercer Island

For in-home newborn lifestyle sessions, I come to your home anywhere on Mercer Island.

Your home does not need to look perfect. The focus is your baby and your family, not the whole house. I’ll look for the best light and use the spaces that work well that day, whether that is the nursery, bedroom, living room, or another area with enough room and light.

Why Mercer Island Families Choose Lana Sky Photography

Many Mercer Island families book because the experience feels manageable. The studio is close, outdoor locations are within a comfortable distance, and in-home newborn sessions are available when staying home makes more sense.

That flexibility helps when you are working around pregnancy, a newborn schedule, nap times, school pickups, or a calendar that already feels full.

During the session, I help with posing, where to look, how to interact, and how to keep things moving when babies need breaks or kids need a reset. You do not have to arrive knowing how to pose or how to make everyone cooperate.

The goal is to give you a clear plan, practical direction, and photos that still feel like your family years from now.
