About Alicen Lum Photography

Alicen's passion for photography began after photographing her own newborn. What started as a love of capturing her baby's earliest moments eventually became a full-time photography business.

Today, Alicen Lum Photography creates beautiful portraits for families throughout Bellevue, Seattle, Tacoma, Federal Way, Auburn, Kent, Renton, Puyallup, and surrounding communities.

Her photography style can range from timeless and classic to contemporary, candid lifestyle, and fine-art portraits. Color and black-and-white photography are also available.

Bellevue Newborn Photography

Your baby's newborn stage only lasts for a short time. Those tiny fingers, toes, sleepy expressions, and delicate features change almost every day.

As a Bellevue newborn photographer, Alicen specializes in carefully posed newborn portraits designed to preserve those fleeting details as beautiful artwork.

Newborn sessions take place at the Alicen Lum Photography studio in Federal Way, where everything is prepared specifically for newborn photography.

The studio includes:

• A large selection of newborn props

• Wraps and blankets

• Beautiful backdrops

• Multiple styled setups

• Professional studio lighting

• Maternity gowns

• Options for parent, sibling, and family portraits

Newborn sessions are paced around your baby. Feeding, changing, soothing, and breaks are all part of the experience. We take our time rather than rushing through the session.

Maternity Photography Near Bellevue

Pregnancy is a beautiful and fleeting chapter of your life, and maternity photography allows you to preserve this special time before your baby arrives.

Alicen specializes in maternity photography for Bellevue families, creating elegant portraits that celebrate your pregnancy and the anticipation of becoming a parent.

Maternity sessions are generally scheduled during the third trimester, when your pregnancy is beautifully visible. Before your session, we discuss your preferred style, outfits, poses, and the types of portraits you want to create.

The Federal Way studio also has a collection of beautiful maternity gowns available for clients.

Whether you prefer soft and romantic portraits, dramatic fine-art photography, timeless studio images, or contemporary maternity portraits, your session can be personalized to your vision.

From Maternity to Newborn Photography

Many expecting families choose to document both their pregnancy and their baby's first days with Alicen Lum Photography.

A maternity session captures the anticipation of meeting your baby. Your newborn session then preserves those first precious weeks after birth.

If you're expecting, I recommend reserving your newborn photography session during pregnancy. We can plan around your expected due date and finalize the exact session date after your baby arrives.

Why Choose a Federal Way Studio for Your Bellevue Newborn Session?

Although Alicen Lum Photography is based in Federal Way, many Bellevue families choose to make the drive for their newborn session because the studio is specifically designed for professional portrait photography.

A dedicated studio allows us to control the lighting, temperature, backgrounds, props, and overall environment. It also means your session isn't dependent on Washington weather.

Most importantly, the studio provides a comfortable environment where we can take our time creating beautiful newborn portraits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are newborn sessions held?

Newborn sessions are held at the Alicen Lum Photography studio in Federal Way. The studio is conveniently located for Bellevue and Eastside families.

Maternity and family sessions can be photographed in the studio, and outdoor sessions may also be available depending on the location and weather.

How long does a newborn photography session take?

Newborn sessions generally take approximately 2 hours, although the exact length depends on your baby's needs and the number of setups included.

We allow plenty of time for feeding, changing, soothing, and breaks.

When should I book my newborn session?

It is best to reserve your newborn session during pregnancy. Your expected due date allows us to plan an approximate timeframe, and we can adjust the date once your baby arrives.

What should we wear for a family session?

For family portraits, coordinating your clothing rather than wearing identical outfits usually creates the most timeless look. Neutral, complementary tones photograph beautifully and keep the focus on your family.

If you have a special outfit, heirloom, or accessory that has sentimental meaning, you're welcome to discuss incorporating it into your session.
