The Bluebird & Lace Experience

Beautiful portraits begin with thoughtful attention to you.

At our downtown Olympia studio, we bring together distinctive portraiture and personal care. From planning and wardrobe selection to carefully guided posing, every detail is considered so you can feel comfortable, confident, and fully present.

We welcome families from Olympia, Seattle, Tacoma, and surrounding communities to celebrate pregnancy and their baby’s first days with an experience designed around the mother, too.

The Maternity Experience

A moment to be cared for. A beautiful way to remember this pregnancy.

Together, we plan portraits that reflect your style—from soft and intimate to elegantly dramatic. Our collection of more than 150 maternity gowns gives you room to explore, with personal assistance choosing the pieces that feel right for you.

Choose our private studio or an outdoor setting near Olympia. Studio sessions include professional hair and makeup, tailored to your preferences. Throughout your session, we guide every pose with attention to your comfort and the details that make your portraits yours.

Your partner and children are welcome, with time for both individual maternity portraits and photographs celebrating your growing family.

The Newborn Experience

Their first days. Your first memories together.

Your newborn session celebrates your baby and the tenderness of becoming their mother. Alongside individual newborn portraits, dedicated Mommy & Me portraits are included to preserve the connection you share. Photographs with your partner and older children complete your family’s story.

Professional hair and makeup, wardrobe assistance, and gentle posing guidance help you feel prepared and cared for during your own portraits.

All newborn sessions take place in our downtown Olympia studio, with time for feeding, comforting, and settling your baby—and attention to your comfort throughout.

Your Private Reveal

After your maternity or newborn session, we meet for a private Zoom reveal to view your portraits and choose your favorites. We guide you through digital collections, handcrafted albums, and wall art, helping you decide how you would like to enjoy your photographs.

The session fee is $149 per session. Portrait collections begin at $499 and are purchased separately at your reveal. No collection selection is required when booking. Payment plans are available.
