Maternity Stories in the Seattle Area

The Maternity Story is a quiet pause before everything changes. These sessions are designed to capture anticipation, connection, and the beauty of this in-between season, whether that means images focused solely on you, or including your partner and children as part of the story. The Maternity Story is your maternity photography designed to capture this phase in a calm, guided experience that allows genuine interaction to unfold naturally; ideal for families on the Eastside of Seattle, including Redmond, Bellevue, Sammamish, Issaquah, and surrounding communities.

All Maternity Story experiences include a curated, full digital gallery, delivered within two to three weeks, with every beautiful moment you’ll want to revisit.

A Story Designed Around You

Maternity sessions are guided by your comfort, energy, and vision, not a rigid timeline. Some families arrive wanting soft, minimal portraits. Others want movement, interaction, or quiet moments together. Your session is planned intentionally to reflect what feels most meaningful to you right now.

Family Is Always Welcome

What to Wear

You’ll receive simple styling guidance to help you feel confident and comfortable. Flowing fabrics, soft textures, and neutral tones photograph beautifully, and so do tight body suits! What you choose to wear is a personal decision about your style and comfort.

Privacy & Image Use

You can choose to keep your gallery private, or opt out of having your images used for promotional purposes. Your family’s privacy is always respected.

Album and Heirloom Add Ons

Preserve your Maternity Story with albums, framed prints, or wall art. Many families choose to build a collection over time, returning yearly to document their growing family.

Many families choose to complement their maternity images with newborn and childhood sessions in a First Year Album, creating a cohesive visual narrative from pregnancy through your baby’s first year.

Planning Your Session

  • I completely understand that not every child feels excited about having their photo taken, and that’s okay! It’s my job to connect with your kids and help them participate in a way that feels natural and fun.

    As a mom of two, I know firsthand that little ones can be unpredictable, and I want you to know there’s no need to feel stressed or embarrassed if things don’t go perfectly.

    During our session, I’ll adjust to what works best for your child; we’ll play games, sing songs, explore different props, or even take a snack break (with your permission). The most important thing is that we make the experience fun and exciting, because that’s when the most genuine smiles and natural photos happen!

  • You will receive your online gallery of images within three weeks of your session. Since all packages include the curated full gallery, you will be able to download all photos directly from the gallery.

    There are options to buy prints of any photos if you do desire and have them shipped to your house.

  • Your gallery is thoughtfully edited and intentionally selected to represent the very best of your session. I include all images that contribute to the story of your collection, ensuring that every photograph has purpose and adds value.

    Each session includes a guaranteed minimum number of images, and any additional photographs beyond that are included at no extra cost when they enhance your final gallery.

  • Payment is done through an online portal with a credit card. A 25% retainer (of the original session fee) is paid upfront, the rest of the payment is due the day of the session and the card on file will be charged.

    All pricing is transparent, and listed on the website. Sessions list the deliverables and the cost. Sales tax will be applied.

  • As photography is not something that most families do frequently, it is understandable that you are nervous! There is no need for concern. I will guide, prompt, and direct you and your family. I strive for session that authentically captures your family as best as possible, so there is no need be anything other than yourselves! I will prompt for natural-looking poses and capture candids throughout the session.

  • My cozy studio is in Redmond, near Ames Lake, where you can have the session of your dreams! It is located at 27510 NE Quail Creek Dr, Redmond, WA 98053.

    My clients typically travel from all over the Greater Seattle Area, including but not limited to Redmond, Sammamish, Issaquah, Bellevue, Kirkland, Duvall, Snoqualmie, North Bend, and beyond!

  • Absolutely! Please reach out to me directly to do so!

    Sessions will be paid in full so whomever you are gifting the session to, does not have to worry about anything besides picking the date!
