I’m Lynn Hughes, a photographer and retired midwife based in Shoreline Washington and serving the greater Seattle area. I’ve been photographing babies and births since 1989. I’m not catching babies anymore, but I’m still passionate about photographing them and documenting the day you bring them into the world.
My in-home newborn sessions capture a glimpse of this special time in your family’s life and are laid back with time to follow baby’s lead. I also offer “Fresh 48” sessions and first-time sibling meetings to capture those early magical moments.
As your family grows, I’d love to help you document that growth with fun, relaxed, outdoor family photo sessions.
After attending nearly 800 births, I know how to capture the powerful and emotion-filled moments of one of the most memorable days of your life. You will be thankful you chose to document your birthing day. Here’s a quote from a client that exemplifies how valuable these photos can be:
“You sent me 64 of the most beautiful pictures I've ever seen (and I'm a photographer too). This postpartum hasn't been easy for me, but these photos have been something I've returned to again and again to lift my spirits. I will treasure them forever.”
If you are considering photographing your birth and/or your newborn or would like to do a session with your family, I would love to hear from you. Take a look at my portfolios to see whether my style resonates with what you’re hoping for. Feel free to reach out (there’s a form on my contact page) if I haven’t answered your questions in these pages.
