Some sessions feel like poetry in motion — soft light, salty breeze, and a glowing mama-to-be standing at the edge of something beautiful. That’s exactly what unfolded during this magical golden hour maternity session at Mukilteo Lighthouse Beach.

Set against the coastal backdrop of the historic Mukilteo Lighthouse, this session gave us everything we love: timeless beauty, ocean air, and the kind of golden light that feels like a quiet celebration of motherhood.

The Looks

Our beautiful mama-to-be radiated in two stunning gowns.

First, she wore a cream lace maternity gown, delicate and ethereal, which added a vintage softness to the sandy shoreline. The lace caught the light just right, adding a gentle texture to the photos — elegant, feminine, and full of grace.

Then came the showstopper: a teal fitted maternity dress with a long, dramatic train. As the breeze rolled in off the water, the train lifted and danced through the air, creating jaw-dropping moments that looked like something out of a magazine. The bold teal against the warm sunset tones was pure magic.

The Setting

Mukilteo Lighthouse Beach never disappoints. With driftwood, gentle waves, and the iconic lighthouse glowing in the background, this beach gives the perfect mix of natural charm and coastal elegance. As the sun dipped lower, the light turned golden, wrapping our mama in warmth and softness. It felt like nature was applauding her journey into motherhood.

We moved from soft shoreline portraits to silhouette shots as the sky turned pastel, capturing the beauty, strength, and serenity of this powerful season of life.

A Session to Remember

There’s something about maternity sessions at golden hour that feels like pressing pause on time. This one was no exception — it was filled with laughter, stillness, and a deep sense of anticipation for the new life about to begin.

To this gorgeous mama: thank you for braving the breeze, trusting the vision, and allowing us to tell your story in such a breathtaking way.
