Seattle Newborn Photographer
for Natural, In-Home Baby Photos

 


What Newborn Sessions Are Actually Like:

Newborn sessions are designed to feel calm, easy, and completely natural from start to finish. Most families reach out feeling a little overwhelmed. That’s completely normal (and expected).

I’ll guide you through the entire process so you never have to wonder what to do or how it’s going. We move at your baby’s pace, without anything feeling rushed or forced.

All families are welcome here. Fully and without exception. I celebrate and photograph families of all backgrounds, identities, and structures, and I’m committed to creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and completely yourself.

  • You, your new baby, and anyone else who makes your family complete. Siblings, grandparents, and pets are always welcome!

  • Anytime within the first 1–2 months is perfect. If your baby is already here and you’re worried you missed your window, you haven’t.

  • In the comfort of your home. There’s no need to pack a diaper bag or plan an outing with a brand new baby. Your cozy, familiar space is the perfect place for these moments and allows for a more relaxed, natural newborn photography experience.

  • Sessions are roughly 45–60 minutes.

    I’m mindful of how full this season already is, and this tends to be the sweet spot before newborns, and parents, are ready for a break.

    We move gently and efficiently, always with your baby’s comfort in mind.

  • Most families come in a little unsure. That’s completely normal.

    You don’t need a perfectly calm baby, a perfectly styled home, or any experience in front of the camera.

    I’ll guide you the whole time while keeping things relaxed and flexible. We pause when needed, follow your baby’s rhythm, and never rush.

    By the end, most families say the same thing:
    “That was way easier than I expected.”

If you’re thinking about newborn photos, you’re always welcome to reach out, even if you’re not totally sure yet.

Why Choose Kiersten

Because newborn photos shouldn’t feel stressful. They should feel supportive.

With over a decade of experience as a Seattle newborn photographer, I bring a calm, steady presence into your home during a season that can feel tender, emotional, and unpredictable.

My approach is:

  • gently guided, never forced

  • baby-led and flexible

  • focused on connection, not perfection

I’ll help you feel comfortable in front of the camera, even if you’ve never loved being photographed. You don’t need to know what to do or how to pose. I’ll guide things naturally while leaving space for real moments to unfold.

Above all, I care deeply about creating an experience that feels safe, respectful, and easy. You can show up exactly as you are. I’ll take care of the rest.

Hey! I’m Kiersten. (She/Her/Hers). I’m a newborn, family, and headshot photographer.

While I've called Seattle home for quite some time now, my roots lie in Minnesota, where the spirit of "Minnesota nice" runs deep in my veins and reflects in both my personal and professional life.

One thing I often hear from clients is how comfortable I make them feel during our sessions, which is my ultimate goal (besides, you know, getting gorgeous photos together).

If you’re searching for a photographer who keeps things relaxed and easy, you’ve landed in the right spot. I'm not the type to go all out with loud cheers or make you do zany antics just to get “the perfect shot” (not that there’s nothing wrong with that). I’ll guide you the entire time — but I won’t ask you to reenact moments or perform happiness.

I believe in going with the flow because let's face it, both photo sessions and life never go exactly as planned (especially with fussy toddlers or, you know, husbands). During a session, you’ll often find me cracking jokes, helping you remember what to do with your hands, adjusting you into beautiful light, or just backing up and giving you space to settle in. The best moments tend to happen in the in-between — when you forget about the camera and just get to be yourselves.

Oh, and when I'm not behind the camera, you can probably find me sipping one of Seattle’s many amazing lattes, playing guitar, obsessing over my plants, or enjoying the absolute beauty of the Pacific Northwest with my Korean rescue pup named Fig. 

Let’s bid farewell to the awkward photo shoot and create some natural, heartfelt photos together.

Let’s chat about your newborn photos!
