Michele & Mica | Seattle Maternity Photographer | Tacoma, WA

I came across this location last year (so hard to find since most photographers don't like to share locations!) and I am so happy I finally got to use it. This old abandoned place that people refer to as the Mayflower Dairy Farm in Puyallup doesn't have an exact address, but since I don't believe telling other photographers my locations will hurt my business, here is a mappable address: 4412 Military Rd E, Tacoma WA 98446. You're welcome ;)

Michele is expecting a baby boy next month and we got her in for maternity photos just in time! We got very lucky with the weather, and although it was a pretty foggy day, we avoided the rain and freezing weather. Pretty good for the first weekend of January in the Pacific Northwest!! Not only did we get great shots with dad-to-be, but big brother "Trooper" made an adorable appearance for some poses. He's a great little guy. Here are a few of my favorites from their session. Looking forward to photographing their newborn for them!!

My Maternity Shoot

Being a professional photographer usually means you NEVER ever get to have nice photos taken of yourself. Even with the casual snap shots at holidays and family gatherings, I am never in any photos.

But, I am really trying to change that. And by that, I am doing my best to train my husband, Cameron, whenever possible on the new techniques I learn almost everyday as a growing photographer. Cameron does great at assisting, but gets a little nervous when I encourage him to take control over the camera. I think it's because of the pressure I put on him to do perfect.

So, I put him in charge of my maternity photos. I did the job of picking location, lighting, attire, posing, and even camera settings. All he had to do was focus the camera, somewhat direct, and shoot!!! It was definitely a team effort, especially since my boys weren't willing to cooperate 100%.

I am so pleased with the few good shots he got....

Kellie & Brett {Maternity Shoot}

I always have the greatest time with this couple and they so happen to be family!! My sister is crazy sometimes, so she had the best idea of having us hike to an unknown location for her maternity shoot (both of us being pregnant). I'm glad our hike through the Claremont hills led us to this beautiful location and we rocked this shoot!!!

Val & Addison {Maternity Shoot}

Mom-to-be did not think she was going to make it to the shoot, but we made it happen. And, she was absolutely breathtaking during those occasional contractions. I'm happy to say that she didn't end up going into labor by the end!! I can't wait for their princess to come!
