Capturing your Motherhood journey in the greater Seattle area

Seattle Maternity and Motherhood Photographer

Choosing me as your Maternity Photographer is really just the beginning of our friendship together. As a mother myself and a professional photographer, it is such an honor to capture and celebrate your motherhood journey. I want to encourage and uplift you during pregnancy, those newborn days and throughout the incredible milestones. I love watching your family grow and provide images that show your timeless love and connection.

Seattle Maternity, Motherhood & Family Photographer


Hey there, my name is Casey Louise Thornton and I am your PNW Maternity, Motherhood and Family professional photographer! Your motherhood journey matters and should be captured! I specialize in lifestyle photography and am located in the greater Seattle area of Washington. As a mother of a toddler and newborn baby myself, my passion is supporting other moms through early motherhood. Being a Seattle maternity photographer allows me to connect with and celebrate pregnant moms from the beginning of their experience. Creating connections with families brings me energy and joy, fueling my passion for photography.

As a professional photographer, whether it be maternity, newborn or family portraits you want captured, I strive to make your experience comfortable and exciting. I provide maternity photography that builds confidence and celebrates the strength of your body. Being inclusive is something that has always been important to me. If you identify as a mother, I want to celebrate you. This is a safe place for BIPOC as well as people in the LGBTQ+ community. I am honored to show your strength and connection through my lens. I want to give you portraits you will cherish for generations. Sessions with me focus on your affection and love for each other. Your photoshoot will be fun and relaxed for everyone including toddlers and husbands. My Family portraits are focused on your connection. I can't wait to celebrate your parent journey with you! Western Washington is my primary location and I love traveling and hiking so let's adventure together!

Casey Louise, your Maternity Photographer

I have a team! Meet my associate, Ciarra! During my maternity leave in August 2024 Ciarra was able to capture maternity and newborn sessions on my behalf. Now she is an integral part of my photography team. Located south of Seattle, Ciarra allows me to serve clients further from home. I will be taking the second half of my own maternity leave middle of Jan. through Feb. 2025 and I am thankful to say you're in great hands with Ciarra! When Ciarra captures your session I will still be your go to for planning your photoshoot! I will also still be the photographer who hand edits your gallery myself for a cohesive experience!

Seattle Family Photographer gives toddler tips! Having a toddler myself, I know planning a beautiful photo session can be...

“Casey is amazing! We had such a wonderful experience doing a newborn shoot with her. Our baby was 11 days old and we were overwhelmed just trying to figure out how to survive with a newborn. Casey was so wonderful and made the photo shoot so easy and fun! We love the photos she took and are so thankful that she helped us capture this special time. I would highly recommend her and can't wait to do another shoot with her soon!”

“5 stars simply is not enough!! Our family had the best experience with Casey for our newborn/family session. She was so accommodating, easy going and fun to work with. She was able to make our toddler comfortable in front of the camera and capture some of the most priceless photos! Her turnaround time was quicker than expected and the photos turned out so beautiful! We will absolutely be using her again!”
Amanda
Snohomish Family Session
"I could not be happier with how our maternity photos from Casey turned out!! She did a phenomenal job and was so easy to work with. This was the first time my husband and I had taken professional photos together since we got married 9 years ago. We were nervous but Casey was great at giving us guidance and making us feel comfortable. She was also very willing to include our dog in the photo shoot. I would 100% have photos done with Casey again!!"
