As a Seattle newborn photographer based in Everett, WA, I specialize in creating calm, stress-free, and beautiful newborn studio sessions for families. My goal is to capture your baby’s first days in timeless, artistic portraits while also including warm, lifestyle-style family moments. I offer both studio sessions and pure lifestyle sessions, either in-studio in Everett or in-home, so you can choose what works best for your family. Personally, one of my favorite options is a blend of studio and lifestyle photography, which combines the best of both worlds — classic posed portraits alongside relaxed, authentic family moments. This package is truly one of my favorites to create and one that families love.
Consultation & Planning
I recommend booking your newborn session during your third trimester or early, so we have plenty of time to plan before your baby arrives. During this consultation, we’ll discuss:
- Baby props and any specific needs for your session
- Mommy outfit options (provided by me for a stress-free experience)
- Family wardrobe planning for coordinated, beautiful outfits
Planning ahead ensures your session is seamless, stress-free, and personalized to your family’s style.
Arrival & Setup
When you arrive at my Everett studio, everything is ready for your baby’s comfort:
- Cozy wraps, blankets, baskets, and soft lighting
- Sanitized studio and props; freshly cleaned fabrics
- Portable heaters to keep your baby warm and cozy
- White noise machines to create a safe, calming environment
Your newborn’s comfort is the priority, creating the perfect setting for timeless studio portraits.
Session Start — Baby First
TThe newborn is always the focus at the start of the session. Every pose is gentle, safe, and designed to be comfortable while capturing the tiny details that make newborn photography so special.
Here’s the flow for the baby portion:
Wrapped Prop Poses
- Wrapping helps the baby feel secure and relaxed.
- We capture 2–3 beautiful prop poses in a cozy, calm setup.
- These early poses help your baby settle quickly and create soft, timeless images.
Trampoline Setup
- Baby may be wrapped, unwrapped, or dressed in a cute outfit based on your preferences.
- Allows variety: gentle, cozy poses or creative setups.
- Sometimes I design new artistic poses to give your gallery a fresh, modern look.
Bean Bag Poses
- Perfect for capturing natural curls, sleepy stretches, and iconic curled-up newborn poses.
- Highlights tiny details — fingers, toes, and expressions — in a comfortable and natural way.
Throughout the session:
- Everything moves at the baby’s pace, including feeding and cuddle breaks.
- Soft lighting, white noise, and warm setups create a calm, safe environment.
- Parents can be part of the process — gentle touches, snuggles, and loving interactions are beautifully captured.
Focusing on your newborn first ensures that each tiny detail is captured while your baby is calm, sleepy, and comfortable.
Family & Siblings
Once the baby session is complete, we include parents and siblings:
- Candid, emotional family moments capturing your bond naturally
- If you have a toddler, we may do the family portion first so one parent can manage them nearby if needed
- The session is fully adapted to your family’s needs for a smooth experience
