Explore Style Inspiration for Maternity, Newborn & Milestone Photography in Edmonds & Seattle”

Every stage of motherhood and childhood has its own beauty, and what you wear plays a big role in how your images feel. At Thistle & Bloom Photography, I’ve created three dedicated style guides — for maternity, newborn, and milestone sessions — to give you inspiration on colors, fabrics, and outfit ideas that photograph beautifully in Edmonds, Seattle, and the greater Puget Sound area.

From flowing gowns to jeans and t-shirts, maternity photography is about highlighting your shape in a way that feels natural and timeless. This guide shares flattering silhouettes, soft color palettes, and fabric ideas that bring out the glow of pregnancy in both studio and outdoor portraits.
