Choosing the Best Seattle Maternity Photographer

Documenting your journey into parenthood requires a good maternity photographer. Maternity photography and newborn photos that are taken shortly after birth will be memories you will cherish forever. These photos capture the last few days before you become a mother and the first precious days of your child's life. Maternity and newborn photography require a photographer who understands the importance and meaning behind the photos.

The right family photographer can capture the emotion and feelings that are ever present when you are preparing to experience a life-changing event. It's essential to capture those moments that show your hopes and dreams for the future. Every parent has those moments of wistful dreams where they look into the future and wonder what their child will be like as they grow.

Wallace Retreat - Gold Bar, WA

Wallace Retreat is the perfect location for your maternity photos! If you live in Seattle, Bellevue, Woodinville, Everett, or anywhere near the Seattle area in Washington State, our studio is not far away! The Pacific Northwest is one of the most beautiful areas in the country, and our rural studio is in the middle of it all. We are also close to Snohomish and Monroe. Our studio is outside of town, so we can provide you with the peace and quiet that makes your photo session even more private.

Wallace Retreat is adjacent to Wallace Falls State Park. This unique location provides you with many natural backdrops you can choose from. Stand next to the Wallace River or relax in a peaceful meadow, no matter your preference, we have the best of what Washington state has to offer right in our backyard. The surrounding areas are full of wildlife and beautiful scenic vistas. In addition to the locations outside, you can also explore the inside of our beautiful studio.


Don't Be Shy!

We know that some people don't like having their pictures taken. With family photography, a family portrait won't be complete if someone is missing. At Filling the Frame Photography, the goal as a family and newborn photographer is to keep things as natural as possible. No stiff poses that make you look uncomfortable. Your maternity and family photos should show your family as it really is. When you arrive for your maternity session, during the first few minutes, we will be putting you at ease and helping you to relax. We want to see those smiles!

FAQ

WHAT HAPPENS IF WE PLAN AN OUTDOOR SHOOT AND IT STARTS TO RAIN?

Our riverfront property also has an indoor studio to keep us dry and warm. If rain doesn't bother you, then I like to start us indoors in the studio and then take the clear umbrellas outside to see if we can create some magic! If we are on location, we try to keep ahead of the forecast and make sure our location has a spot to tuck out of the rain or to fully embrace the puddles and the splashing.

DO I NEED TO BRING MY OWN PROPS?

We want your images to be personal and one of the best way to do that is to bring your own "props". A special lovey for the baby, a blanket Grandma made, or a necklace someone special gave you all add personality to your photos and we are here for that! If you have special items that you would like to include in your photo shoot, please bring them! If you don't, however, don't worry. We include all of our props and make them accessible to you!

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET MY PHOTOS BACK?

It may take two weeks to ensure that all of your photos are processed and edited. If you order prints, they are typically shipped and delivered within 5 business days. We also offer prints, frames, canvases, and photo albums for all of your images.

DO you provide hair and makeup?

We do not include hair and makeup in our sessions, but we work with some EXCELLENT Make Up Artists (MUA) and are happy to create a package for you to have it done when you arrive!

Where are you located?

We are located on the Wallace River in Gold Bar, Washington. We love living in the Pacific Northwest and are so thankful to be surrounded by lush green nature in the woods!

Proudly photographing families in the surrounding areas in Snohomish and King County, WA.
