My sessions are for you if...
*You want to celebrate this season before your life changes forever
*You want photographs that feel natural, emotional, and genuinely like you
*You're excited to include your partner and children in the experience
*You want to remember not just how you looked, but how you felt during this time
*You believe motherhood deserves to be documented before the beautiful chaos begins
Pregnancy has a way of making time feel both slow and impossibly fast. One day you're dreaming about meeting your baby, and who they'll become, and before you know it, they're here.
Maternity sessions are about honoring the beauty, anticipation, and connection that already exists before your baby arrives. The quiet moments. The excitement. The way your family is growing and changing.
My approach is relaxed and lightly guided, creating space for genuine connection and emotion while helping you feel comfortable and beautiful throughout the experience.
The result? Imagery that feels warm, meaningful, and deeply personal.
A CELEBRATION
OF THIS SEASON
We'll spend our time moving slowly, soaking in beautiful light, and documenting this season in a way that feels natural and effortless.
Some sessions feel quiet and intimate. Others include playful toddlers, excited siblings-to-be, and lots of laughter along the way. Whether it's just you, you and your partner, or your entire family, the focus is always on connection, anticipation, and the story you're already living.
No stiff posing. No pressure. Just a chance to slow down and celebrate what's ahead.
What Your Session Might Look Like
Pregnancy is beautiful, and you deserve to feel beautiful too. That’s why every maternity session includes personalized styling guidance.
When you choose clothing that you feel good in, it allows you to be fully present in the moment. I’ll help you select colors, textures, and outfits that photograph beautifully while still feeling like you.
The goal isn’t perfection- it’s helping you feel confident, comfortable, and connected during your session, and I’ll be there to help guide you every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes and yes! Partners are always welcome and encouraged to participate. Including older siblings as well often creates some of the most meaningful images.
can my partner or kids join?
Don't fret- you don't have to know what to do. I'll guide you through comfortable and flattering posing, while providing gentle prompts to capture the genuine connection and emotion of this special season.
What if i don't feel confident in front of the camera?
I've got you covered! Styling is important, that's why every session includes customized styling support and outfit recommendations for the whole family (if applicable). Two of my favorite looks for mamas-to-be are flowy dresses & jeans + a cute bra.
what should I wear?
Unless it's overcast, sessions take place during golden hour (the hour before sunset) in order to infuse your photos with gooey golden light. If your kids are joining, don't worry about a late bedtime- I've got tips to make it a smooth, fun night!
what time of day do sessions take placE?
Local maternity sessions are 60 minutes long, allowing time for outfit changes (if desired), solo/partner/family photos, and exploring the location at an unhurried pace.
how long does a session last?
The ideal time for a maternity session is between 28-36 weeks, when your bump is beautifully visible but you’re likely still feeling relatively comfortable.
when should i schedule my maternity session?
"I'd highly, highly recommend working with her!"
Meredith took maternity/family photos for us last fall, and let me just say that working with her was amazing. Our normally good natured toddler decided that the day we were supposed to take photos was the day he was not going to stop crying... so I had very low expectations that we'd have even one salvageable shot for prints and cards -- but not only did Meredith pull all her tricks out of her bag to keep him happy, but managed to capture those split second smiles that he DID give us and walked away with some of the most wonderful family photos that we'll cherish for a lifetime. I'd highly, highly recommend working with her! Thank you thank you thank you again!

"Our photos turned out great and we can't wait to cherish them for years to come!"
I am not a Washington State native and was visiting from out of state. Meredith was very responsive and provided so many helpful details for planning this family shoot during a busy trip. She was very warm, friendly, and easy to work with. She was calming and knew just what to do when I accidentally stumbled over a piece of driftwood on the beach. She made it work, provided me with a new sweater (mine was saturated), assured me that this look would blend with the photos (it did), and calmed my nerves which were a bit more heightened than usual. Our photos turned out great and we can't wait to cherish them for years to come! If we take more family trips to Washington, we'd be happy to use Meredith again!

"BEST PHOTOSHOOT EVER!"
I absolutely hate having my picture taken, but Meredith made me feel and look beautiful. She captured me in a way I've never been captured before, and I couldn't be happier with the results.
Meredith Gamas is a true professional who expertly blends portraits and landscapes. She took me to Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic mountains just before sunset, and her choice of location, lighting, and poses was perfect. Meredith captured the incredible beauty of the place while also making me feel like a movie star.
