Chase | 6 Day Old Newborn Session

September 22, 2017

Bellevue newborn photographer, Dawn Potter has a commercial studio located just a few minutes east of Bellevue in downtown Issaquah.

Chase was just 6 days old when he came in for his newborn session. Sweet as can be with his beautiful little features and soft fluffy hair. I’m pretty sure he didn’t open his eyes at all the whole time he was with me!

Momma had a few set ups she was really hoping to get during his newborn session. One of them was the baby in the hanging basket. I made it a priority to get that set up done right away to be sure we were able to get it. The other was the baby in a sling image. This one was a bit trickier to pull off. Luckily, with dad’s help and patience, I was able to get what I needed to bring the final image together in photoshop. And just to help put everyone’s minds at ease, baby was never actually suspended 🙂

Momma also planned way ahead and ordered this special little knit outfit in Seahawks colors just for Chase’s newborn session. It fit him so well and I loved it so much that I went ahead and ordered one to have in the studio for my future babies. Just in time for football season!

Seattle Newborn Photography Session | Jackson 6 weeks

September 18, 2017

Seattle newborn photography session with little Jackson, just 6 weeks old! Jackson and his momma came in for a petite newborn session, which gave us just about an hour of time to photograph this little nugget. Most 6 weeks old newborns are quite a bit more alert than the 2 weeks I typically photograph. They are also often times starting to smile on cue. I have to tell you, seeing this little due with his bright blue inquisitive eyes starting back at me was pretty amazing. And the adorable little smiles he flashed just sealed the deal for me!

Sharing a handful of my favorite images from Jackson’s six week Seattle newborn photography session. If you’d like to see current work and behind the scenes photos, be sure to check out my Facebook page!

Avery | Newborn Photographer Seattle

September 14, 2017

Newborn photographer Seattle, Dawn Potter Photography, has a commercial studio located just minutes from Seattle in downtown Issaquah at the historic Gilman Village. Please contact us for information on booking your newborn session.

Capturing family moments is such an important part of what I do. Even though Avery’s big sister really didn’t want to pose for the camera, we were still able to get a few images of the four of them together. Images that capture their oldest daughter’s personality at that time in her life perfectly. 😉

When families come in with older children, we spend the first half of the session focused on getting those family images. Afterward, dad usually takes the other children out for a bit while I finish up the remainder of the session photographing baby by themselves. Gilman Village has lots of stores on site where dads can take their little ones to walk around and explore. There is even a coffee shop on site with a child friendly play area, so dad can grab a cup of joe and relax.

Here is a little peek into Avery’s newborn session.

Jameson’s Sitting-Up Session | Baby Photographer In Seattle WA

September 11, 2017

Are you looking for a baby photographer in Seattle? Dawn Potter Photography is located just a few minutes east of Seattle in the heart of downtown Issaquah. We can even provide props and outfits for your baby photography session. When scheduling your milestone session, it’s best to schedule when baby is able to fully sit unsupported. This usually happens somewhere in the 5-8 month timeframe. Please contact us for details on scheduling.

Jameson has been coming to me since he was still a little bean inside his momma’s belly. I photographed his momma’s maternity session and their gorgeous property, his newborn session in my old studio, his 4 month session in my studio, and now we’ve just wrapped up his 8 month session. It has been so fun watching this family grow and seeing this little man’s personality come to life before the camera.

Sharing a few of my favorite images. Interested in having a portrait session with me? Contact me now!
