Celebrating New Life
Pregnancy Portraits That Tell Your Story
As a dedicated maternity photographer serving Bothell and Snohomish County, we understand that pregnancy is one of the most transformative chapters of your life. Those months of expecting are fleeting, and the way your body carries new life deserves to be documented with artistry and intention. At SunnyT Productions, we specialize in creating pregnancy portraits that capture the quiet strength, radiant glow, and deep anticipation that come with waiting for your little one to arrive.
We're a husband and wife photography team with over 8 years of experience and more than 500 sessions behind us. We bring two creative perspectives to every maternity session, which means you get a wider range of angles, expressions, and moments captured in a single shoot. Whether you envision a sun-drenched outdoor session along the trails of Snohomish County or an intimate, moody indoor portrait, we tailor every detail to reflect your personality and the joy of this season.
When to Schedule Your Maternity Session
Timing is everything when it comes to maternity photography. We recommend booking your session between 28 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. During this window, your bump is beautifully defined and you're still comfortable enough to walk to scenic locations, change outfits, and genuinely enjoy the experience without feeling too fatigued.
That said, every pregnancy is different. If you're carrying multiples or have specific considerations, we're happy to adjust the timeline. Some mothers also choose to do two sessions — one earlier in the second trimester for a more subtle bump look and another closer to their due date for full, rounded portraits. The most important thing is that you feel confident and beautiful, and we'll work together to find the perfect timing.
Because our calendar fills quickly — especially during the spring and summer months when Snohomish County's landscapes are at their most vibrant — we strongly suggest reaching out during your second trimester to secure your preferred date. This also gives us time for a planning call where we'll discuss locations, wardrobe, and any creative ideas you have in mind.
Outdoor vs Studio Sessions
One of the first decisions you'll make is whether you want an outdoor or studio maternity session — and truthfully, both options produce breathtaking results.
Outdoor sessions are our most popular choice, and Snohomish County offers no shortage of stunning backdrops. We love shooting at Blyth Park in Bothell for its towering evergreens and soft filtered light, along North Creek Trail for its lush greenery and secluded pathways, and at Meadowdale Beach Park where the forest meets the Puget Sound shoreline. The Centennial Trail also provides beautiful stretches of open meadow and tree-lined paths that are perfect for golden hour portraits. Each location brings its own character, and we'll help you choose the one that matches your vision.
In-home lifestyle sessions offer a completely different feel — intimate, personal, and cozy. We'll photograph you in the nursery you've been preparing, in the morning light of your bedroom, or wherever feels most like home. These sessions are especially meaningful for couples who want to remember not just the bump but the space they were in when they were waiting for their baby.
For those who want a more polished, editorial look, we can also recommend local studio options with professional lighting and seamless backdrops. Studio sessions are ideal for dramatic, fine-art maternity portraits with clean lines and rich textures.
What to Wear to Your Maternity Session
Wardrobe can make or break a maternity portrait, and we want you to feel absolutely stunning. Here are our top recommendations based on years of experience photographing expecting mothers across Bothell and Snohomish County:
Flowy gowns and maxi dresses are always a winning choice. Fabrics that catch the wind — chiffon, tulle, and silk — create gorgeous movement in outdoor portraits. Look for styles that cinch above the bump or wrap around the waist to create a flattering silhouette. We love earth tones, soft blush, ivory, sage, and dusty blue for their timeless, organic look that pairs beautifully with Pacific Northwest landscapes.
Fitted, simple pieces work wonderfully too. A bodycon dress or even a matching set that hugs your curves will showcase the bump in all its glory. Sometimes less is more, and a clean, minimal outfit lets the shape of your body be the focus.
We send every client a detailed style guide after booking that includes specific outfit recommendations, color palettes that photograph well, and tips on accessories, hair, and makeup. If you'd like to bring multiple outfits — most of our clients bring two or three — we'll build in time for changes during your session.
