Seattle Newborn Photography: Portfolio, Philosophy, Style

“Lana made the entire process so smooth and enjoyable. She was incredibly patient and accommodating, which was so important for us with a newborn and young kids involved. Lana has a natural ability to connect with little ones and make them feel comfortable, resulting in the most genuine and heartwarming photos.” –Rachel D.

Since 2008, I specialize in natural, family-centered newborn photography as well as adorable posed baby shots with props. I designed the entire experience to be safe, enjoyable, and fun. I obsess over every detail and will guide you through every step of your session to create beautiful photos you’ll love, enjoy, and treasure forever.

Here’s a diverse collection of my studio and in-home newborn photography that will help you get a feel for my posing and editing style. The images are sorted by session type; you may take your time and scroll through the entire gallery or jump to a particular service using the buttons below:

Christine L.

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.

Bethany P.

Lana had me provide input on poses, colors, and styles I liked before the baby arrived and had all of my preferences laid out when we arrived to help the shoot go more smoothly. She had countless beautiful props to choose from and was very patient and flexible as the baby needed to feed throughout the session.
