Newborn, Maternity & Family Photography Services in Tacoma, WA

Looking for a Tacoma newborn photographer, maternity photographer, or family photographer? Alicen Lum Photography specializes in creating beautiful, timeless portraits for families throughout Tacoma and the South Puget Sound.

My professional photography studio is located in Federal Way, Washington, conveniently located for Tacoma families. The studio provides a comfortable, private environment specifically designed for newborn, maternity, baby, and family photography.

I have been a professional photographer since 2008, and posed newborn photography and maternity photography are two of my specialties.

Why Choose Alicen Lum Photography?

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

Today, Alicen Lum Photography serves families throughout Tacoma, Federal Way, Puyallup, Auburn, Kent, Seattle, Renton, and surrounding communities.

My goal is to create portraits that don't simply document a moment but become beautiful artwork you can display and treasure for years.

Tacoma Maternity Photography

Pregnancy is an incredible and fleeting chapter of your life. A professional maternity session gives you the opportunity to celebrate your changing body and preserve the anticipation of meeting your baby.

At Alicen Lum Photography, maternity sessions are personalized to your style. Whether you prefer elegant and timeless portraits, romantic images, dramatic fine-art photography, or something more contemporary, we can create a session around your vision.

My Federal Way studio has a collection of beautiful maternity gowns available for clients, making it easy to create a variety of looks during your session.

When Should You Schedule Your Maternity Session?

Maternity photography is generally best scheduled during the third trimester, when your pregnancy is beautifully visible while you can still feel reasonably comfortable.

Before your session, we will discuss your preferred style, outfits, poses, and the types of photographs you want to create.

Outdoor maternity sessions may also be available for an additional travel fee, depending on the location and weather.

Tacoma Newborn Photography

Newborn photography is one of Alicen Lum Photography's specialties.

Your baby's first days are incredibly fleeting. Those tiny fingers, little toes, sleepy expressions, and delicate features change so quickly. A professional newborn session allows you to preserve those details forever.

Newborn sessions take place at my Federal Way studio, where I have everything needed to create beautifully posed newborn portraits.

The studio includes:

• Newborn props and accessories

• Wraps and blankets

• Beautiful backdrops

• Multiple styled setups

• Professional studio lighting

• Maternity gowns

• Space for parents and siblings

Newborn sessions are carefully paced around your baby. Feeding, changing, soothing, and breaks are all completely normal parts of the experience. I never want parents to feel rushed.

Why Have Your Newborn Session in the Studio?

For Tacoma families, making the short drive to my Federal Way studio provides several advantages.

A professional studio allows us to control the lighting, temperature, backgrounds, and overall environment. We also don't have to depend on unpredictable Washington weather.

Most importantly, the studio is set up specifically for portrait photography, allowing us to concentrate on creating beautiful newborn photographs.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I book my newborn photography session?

I recommend booking your newborn photography session during pregnancy. Your due date allows us to plan an approximate session timeframe, and we can adjust the actual date once your baby arrives.

Newborn sessions are generally photographed within the first few weeks after birth.

How long does a newborn session take?

Newborn sessions can take approximately 2 hours, depending on your baby's needs and the number of setups and portraits you choose.

There is no need to rush. We allow time for feeding, changing, soothing, and breaks throughout the session.

Can siblings and parents be included?

Absolutely. Newborn photography can include portraits of your baby individually as well as photographs with parents, siblings, and the entire family.

Do you provide maternity gowns?

Yes. Alicen Lum Photography has a selection of beautiful maternity gowns available for clients to use during their studio maternity session.
