Fine Art Seattle Newborn Photographer

Preserve the Moments You’ll Miss Most!

Welcoming a new baby is exciting, emotional, and sometimes a little overwhelming. Your newborn session should be one of the easy parts.

I’ll guide you through everything, from preparing for your session to gently posing your baby and creating beautiful images of this fleeting stage. You don’t need to know what to bring, how to pose, or what will photograph best—I’ll take care of the details for you.

My style is soft, modern, and timeless, with the focus always on your baby and the connection between your family. The goal is to create photographs that feel beautiful now and become even more meaningful as the years go by.

I provide the props, baby outfits, and wardrobe options to make your session feel easy and beautifully put together.
Whether we’re in the studio or your home, you can simply relax, enjoy your baby, and let me take care of the rest.

Why hire Julia?

Knowledge

With over 12 years of experience photographing newborns, I know just how important it is for parents to feel completely comfortable handing over their brand-new baby.

I’m very careful with every baby I photograph, making sure they’re positioned safely, comfortably, and never forced into a pose. Parents often tell me how relaxed they feel during their session because they can see how comfortable I am handling newborns.

You’re trusting me with someone incredibly precious, and I don’t take that lightly. My goal is always to keep your baby safe and happy while creating beautiful, timeless images you’ll love for years.

Customer Service

I want the entire experience to feel easy from the moment you book until your finished images are in your hands.

I’m here to guide you through everything—from planning what to wear and preparing for your session to choosing your favorite images afterward. I know how much goes into getting a family ready for photos, especially with a newborn, so I try to make the process as simple and stress-free as possible.

Many of my clients come back to me again and again as their families grow, and that means so much to me. I want you to feel taken care of, comfortable, and excited about the memories we’re creating together.

Experience

Experience really does matter when you’re choosing someone to photograph your newborn.

I’ve been a professional photographer for over 15 years and have specialized in newborn photography for more than 12 years. I also have an MFA in Photography from the Academy of Art University, so both education and years of hands-on experience have shaped the way I photograph and care for my clients.

Over the years, I’ve photographed hundreds of families and babies, and many of those families return for maternity, newborn, milestone, and family sessions. That trust is one of the greatest compliments I can receive—and something I never take for granted.
