3. Vast Fields With Views

If you're seeking a more rustic and natural ambiance, Seattle's nature reserves and wooded areas are ideal. Discovery Park, with its meadows and wooded trails, or the Washington Park Arboretum with its diverse botanical landscapes, offer a range of settings for a nature-inspired maternity session.
