Maternity Photos in Seattle – Carkeek Park

Golden Hour Magic: Whitney’s Carkeek Park Maternity Photos on Film

Something truly special exists in photographing people in places that mean something to them, therefore Whitney’s maternity photos in Seattle were such a joy to capture. This session was not just about beautiful light and a great location. A celebration of home, family, and the new life they are about to welcome took place.

Carkeek Park / Pipers Orchard

Whitney chose Carkeek Park for her session, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The park is just a short walk from their home, a place they visit often with their black lab. That connection added a layer of authenticity and warmth to every frame.

We began at the Pipers Apple Orchard. The light came softly through the trees. Whitney wore a long black dress that was both elegant and classic. To get this dress for your own maternity photos check it out here Pink Blush Maternity

Her husband joined her for some special moments. Their beloved lab also joined in, adding a sweet and playful energy. This made the shoot feel even more personal.

Carkeek Beach

Next, as golden hour approached, we made our way down to the beach. Whitney changed into a breezy white dress that flowed beautifully in the wind. She kicked off her shoes and went barefoot on the sand, fully embracing the natural beauty of the setting sun over Puget Sound. The shift from the orchard to the beach gave us two distinct looks in addition to staying true to their everyday life and love for this spot.

What made this session even more meaningful for me as a photographer was capturing it all on film. Digital formats cannot replicate the softness and honesty of film, moreover it slows the process and makes each frame meaningful. This is perfect for a maternity session, where every moment is full of emotion and anticipation.

From the quiet orchard to the glowing shoreline, this shoot was a reminder of why I love what I do. It wasn’t just about documenting a pregnancy—it was about telling a story of love, family, and home.

A few weeks later baby Will joined his family and I got to go to their home and capture his newborn photos. Here he is 🙂 So cute
