Newborn session · Seattle

In short

Newborn session in Seattle starts at $425: 2 hours on location with a photographer who works in Seattle, and 35 edited photos delivered to a private gallery within 7 business days.

Why choose Newborn session in Seattle?

A newborn session in Seattle is a two-hour in-home session in the first five to fourteen days that delivers 35 retouched photographs, priced from $425. Seattle homes suit the work in a particular way: window light under Puget Sound overcast stays soft for most of the day, so the session follows the feeding schedule rather than the sun. What it cannot follow is the winter clock. From November to February window light in a Seattle living room fades well before the 4:30pm sunset, so a newborn session in those months starts in the morning.

Worth knowing about Seattle

Many Seattle neighborhoods are Restricted Parking Zones, where a car without a zone permit may stay on the street for only two or four hours, and a newborn session runs two hours before setup, feeding pauses and packing out are added. A household inside a zone can put a guest permit hangtag in the photographer’s car, which avoids moving it mid-session. The parking position is settled when the Seattle newborn session is booked.

FAQ — Newborn session in Seattle

How should we prepare a Seattle home for a newborn session?

Warm the room to about 78°F an hour beforehand, which in a Seattle house means running the heat for much of the year, and clear one window for light. If your street sits in a Seattle Restricted Parking Zone, have a guest permit hangtag ready, because the two-hour and four-hour visitor limits are shorter than a full newborn session with setup.

What time of day suits a winter newborn session in Seattle?

Morning. Between November and February Seattle sunset arrives before 4:30pm at its earliest, and window light in a living room fades well before that. A Seattle newborn session that starts around 9 or 10am gets its full two hours of daylight, with room for feeds and settling, and still finishes while the window is bright.
