Silverdale Maternity Photographer + Poulsbo Pregnancy Photographer + Maternity Photographers in Silverdale + Belly to Baby Packages
The beauty and anticipation of an expecting mother is amazing to photograph. The connection between mother and baby is always so important to capture with maternity photography in an artistic way for you to cherish always. One to two months before your due date, your belly is the perfect size for your maternity session. If you are looking for a pregnancy photographer in Silverdale, please view our galleries and contact us for session options.
"I got the belly to baby package to capture my pregnant belly and my newborn. Laura was suburb, her pictures are flawless, and she became a friend, not just my photographer. We spent a long (but fun) afternoon at the Clear Creek Trail. I was big and pregnant and less than graceful. But the pictures came out magical. When my baby was born, she came over to the house so we didn't have to leave with a newborn, and spent the time waiting for him to fall asleep and get into a good mood. I will cherish those pictures forever. As long as we live in Kitsap County, no one is taking my family pictures but Laura!" - A.C.
"Laura is an amazing photographer. She did my family's maternity and newborn photos. The maternity photos were amazing. I had such a hard time choosing favorites because they were all so amazing. Before the session, she made sure to talk to us about what we were looking for and what type of feel we wanted for the session. During the session, she did everything to achieve the natural type photos we were looking for. We laughed, we genuinely smiled and had a great time. It was aperfect experience. The newborn photo session was equally, if not more, amazing. Laura had so much patience in working with our little one and just took such wonderful photos that again, we had trouble choosing favorites. Every single thing about working with Laura has been enjoyable. She's thoughtful, open, gentle, calm, and just an amazing person to work with and know. I am so glad that I found her for our family photos, and I can't wait to hire her again for our next batch of family photos. I very highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!" - K.W.
Silverdale Newborn Photographer + Poulsbo Baby Photographer + Newborn Photography + Infant Photos + Newborn Photographers in Silverdale
The miracle of a new baby is a treasured time, and our favorite to capture. We take our time with your little one and are experienced with preemies and NICU newborns. Its best to schedule your newborn session during your pregnancy to ensure a spot on the schedule, within the first ten days of life while they are still new, happy to be curled up and ready for nap time during photos. Most often sessions are on-location where we can set up poses with simple props as well as lifestyle images of parents and your newborn. If you are interested in newborn baby photography, please contact Add to Heart Photography for details.
"After seeing the photos Laura took of my nephew and hearing how comfortable she made his parents, I couldn't resist setting up newborn pictures for my baby. Comfortable is an understatement for the way that my husband and I both felt during our newborn session. Laura's demeanor with babies is one to be envied. I thought my baby was "un-swaddle-able" until I watched Laura's finess (since watching her, I've been able to swaddle my baby!! I am thankful for Laura during long nights!). The set up that she brought to our home also put me at ease; heaters, heating mats, and very comfortable blankets for the baby to lay on. Laura was open to our ideas and yet had great ideas of her own as well. The pictures turned out remarkably, and I have gotten so many compliments on them from friends and family. I will definitely be using Laura for future photo needs, as she is prompt, respectful and most of all captures beautiful moments." - A.G.
"Laura's connection to the gentle nature of newborns and her deep respect for their comfort and care is a welcome relief to a mother. I was sincerely impressed and grateful for her keen, talented eye and sweet demeanor. To discover a photographer with a genuine passion for photography and its artistry is a gift. I highly recommend her services to anyone with a true yearning for a perfect capture of a special time in their life. I will be forever grateful for these beautiful portraits of my first-born son." - A.H.
"Truly amazing memories captured in a photograph. She personalizes your sessions every step of the way and brings every prop you can think of. Not to mention every comfort for the little ones to feel at ease with their first ever photo shoot. Between the heating pad and the moveable space heater my house must of reached 90 degrees at our newborn shoot. However I did say that my little guy hates being naked and I didn't think he would pose for the great photos that I had seen posted on her website. However, Laura was able to capture my man squeeze at his best because he was comfortable. She matches up colors and themes of your likes or nursery styles and also has the most darling hats for the little ones to wear as well. I was always jealous of all the cute little hair bows and flowers for little girls, but never have I seen these darling stocking hats for boys. Honestly I wish I could have bought every shot and the hats too!" - T.K.

"Laura's work is absolutely incredible! She did my wedding and she truly caught every memory. The pictures she took tells the story of our wedding without a word.

"Right from the start Laura was sweet and accommodating. I was planning my wedding from Alaska and she planned around the time difference and her busy schedule to speak to me. I knew I had picked the right photographer. Laura made me feel so comfortable and she knew what questions to ask to get all the right photos on our wedding day. She caught every important detail and captured the day perfectly! Now we have amazing photos to share with our family and charish forever. Thank you so much for being such a wonderful person and photographer and treating us like friends not clients. Everything was so personalized and special.
