Seattle Lavender Farm Family & Maternity Sessions

They take place at a private lavender farm in Sequim, WA. Because Sequim is farther from Seattle and the Eastside, please check your GPS before booking to make sure the drive feels manageable for your family.

They are available during a short mid-July bloom window. Start times are scheduled close to sunset for the softest light.

They can work well for both. Families often choose this setting for the soft seasonal color and open farm feel. Expecting parents may choose it when they want maternity photos with a more distinctive outdoor backdrop.

The best time for maternity photos is usually between 28 and 32 weeks, when your belly is clearly showing and you are often still comfortable enough to move around easily.

Lavender Farm Sessions are a little trickier to time because the bloom window is short, and these sessions are offered for only one week. If your pregnancy timing lines up with the lavender bloom, it can be a beautiful option.

I recommend booking at least a month in advance so you have the best chance of getting a spot and enough time to prepare.

Choose the mini session if you want the lavender look in a shorter format. Choose the deluxe session if you want more time, more variety, grandparents included, and a fuller gallery from the farm.

It depends on how much you love the lavender setting and how your family handles day trips. From Seattle or Bellevue, Sequim is often around two to two and a half hours away, depending on whether you take the Bainbridge ferry, drive through Tacoma and the Hood Canal Bridge, and how traffic or ferry waits look that day.

For some families, the trip contributes to the celebration instead of just adding drive time. The route includes evergreen forests, mountain views, and water, and you can turn it into a day trip with brunch, farm-stand ice cream, the Olympic Game Farm, Port Angeles, or Hurricane Ridge.

For maternity sessions, this can also become a small babymoon weekend before baby arrives. Port Angeles is close enough for an overnight stay, water views, and slower activities that pair well with a maternity photoshoot.

If your kids love ferries, that can be part of the fun too. Just build in extra time for ferry waits so you are not rushing to the farm.

I monitor the forecast before the session and will contact you if we need to reschedule because of steady rain or unsafe conditions. Overcast skies and normal seasonal changes are not reasons to reschedule.

Yes. Grandparents are included in the Lavender Farm Deluxe Session.

Yes, dogs are welcome. Please make sure your dog can stay safely with you during the session.

After booking, you’ll receive a prep guide and access to the online styling service. Soft neutrals, light colors, and gentle textures usually work well with the lavender setting.

Not always. I schedule these during the usual mid-July peak-bloom window, but the farm remains a natural setting. Weather, bloom timing, light, and field conditions can affect the final look.

I’ll use the best available rows, light, posing, and angles rather than promising an identical match to past galleries. Your images will reflect the same general posing and editing style shown in the sample photos, but they may not look exactly the same.

This may not be the best choice if you want something quick, close to home, or with very little travel. If your priority is convenience, one of my local outdoor family or maternity sessions will likely be a better fit.

The lavender farm is best when the setting feels worth the drive, and you want the session to be part of a larger seasonal outing.
