The first session of 2026 was simple and stunning!

This studio maternity session was one of those sessions that just felt easy. From the start, this mama knew exactly what she wanted—simple, natural poses, beautiful natural light, and a few flowers to make the space feel soft and feminine.

We kept everything relaxed and comfortable, focusing on natural movement and gentle posing that never felt forced. There was no pressure to “perform”—just space to slow down, breathe, and connect with the little life growing inside her. Those are always my favorite sessions, because the emotion comes through so effortlessly.

The studio was filled with soft natural light, creating a clean and airy look that perfectly highlighted her glow. Natural light maternity photography has a way of making everything feel calm and timeless, and it allowed us to keep the focus exactly where it belonged—on her and her baby bump.

She also asked to bring in flowers, which added the sweetest finishing touch. The florals brought in texture and warmth without taking away from the simplicity of the session. Sometimes it’s the smallest details that make maternity photos feel extra special.

As a maternity photographer in Snohomish County, sessions like this are a reminder of why I love what I do. Your photos don’t have to be complicated to be meaningful. Simple, intentional moments often tell the most beautiful stories.

If you’re dreaming of maternity photography that feels natural, personal, and true to you, a studio maternity session with Kayla J Photo is the perfect way to document this season—just as it is, and just as you’ll want to remember it.
