Seattle Maternity Photos on film – Natural Light Studio

I love getting to see my clients families grow ! I photographed this family when they were pregnant with their first (that cute curly haired toddler) and now have the pleasure of capturing them again while they await the newest family member. Capturing Seattle maternity photos with toddlers is always fun ! You have to stay open minded and flexible. Its the same as parenting a toddler really. You can’t have set in stone expectations. Just embrace the beautiful things they do naturally. If they want to bounce on mom and drool and run around, then that’s what you capture 🙂 Because perfectly posed smiling, sitting still children …. that’s not real haha. I used a mixture of Fuji 400h and my Sony to capture this families maternity photos. For another example of seattle maternity photos in the studio check out Jackie’s Studio Maternity Photos.

Seattle Maternity Photos on Film: My Approach to Capturing Motherhood in Natural Light

As a maternity photographer based in Seattle, I’ve found that there’s something truly magical about documenting pregnancy on film—especially in a natural light studio. There’s an intimacy, a softness, and a depth that film captures in a way digital simply can’t replicate. For me, Seattle maternity photos are about more than just documenting a baby bump—they’re about preserving an experience, a feeling, and a fleeting season of life with real emotion and artistry.

Why I Choose Film

Shooting on film slows everything down, and that’s exactly why I love it. In a world that moves fast and expects instant results, film gives us permission to pause and be present. Every frame matters. I take time to compose each shot, to find the right light, and to create a space where you can breathe and just be. The result? Honest, timeless images that feel more like art than snapshots.

Film has a natural way of rendering skin tones beautifully, softening edges, and adding just enough grain to make everything feel tangible. Whether I’m using medium format or 35mm film, I’m always chasing that dreamy, true-to-life look that digital often misses.

Why Natural Light Studios Work So Well

Seattle’s soft, overcast skies are a blessing for photographers, and our natural light studio takes full advantage of that. The studio I shoot in is filled with gentle, diffused light that wraps around my clients in the most flattering way. The space is clean, minimal, and neutral—giving us a beautiful, versatile backdrop that never distracts from the real focus: you and the life you’re growing.

Natural light and film go hand in hand. There’s no need for harsh artificial lighting or over-editing. The softness of the light brings out the emotion and nuance of every moment. It’s quiet, calm, and often emotional—and that’s exactly how I want your session to feel.

What Makes Seattle Maternity Photos Special

There’s a strong creative energy here in Seattle, and I feel lucky to be part of a community that values meaningful storytelling. I’m drawn to maternity photography because it’s so full of emotion—strength, vulnerability, anticipation. Film helps me translate that emotion into something tangible.

When you book a maternity session with me, you’re not getting hundreds of rushed digital images. You’re getting a curated collection of photographs, shot with care and intention, developed by hand, and delivered as timeless keepsakes. These are images made to be held, framed, and passed down—not just stored in the cloud.

From My Heart to Yours

My goal with every session is to create space for you to feel seen, celebrated, and beautiful—exactly as you are. Choosing film and natural light allows me to do that in the most honest and artistic way I know how.

If you’re looking for Seattle maternity photos that are soft, soulful, and a little bit nostalgic, I’d love to connect. Let’s create something timeless together.
