Bellevue Newborn Photographer | Jack

June 8, 2017

Bellevue newborn photographer, Dawn Potter is located just a few miles East of Bellevue in downtown Issaquah. Her commercial studio is easily accessed from I-90.

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing this gorgeous momma and for her maternity session when she just a few weeks away from delivering this sweet little man. One really great thing about photographing maternity sessions for my newborn clients is that I get to meet them in person before their little ones arrive. It’s wonderful getting to know them a bit and chat about their goals are for their newborn sessions.

Baby Jack arrived on the scene and was such a fun little guy to work with. He even flashed me a few little grins during his shoot. He truly was an adorable little dude and the colors momma chose were perfect for him. Sharing a few of my favorites from little Jack’s session. I think I especially love all the family images! Something about a baby so tiny curled up in momma’s arms just makes me swoon.

Seattle Newborn Photography Mentor

June 8, 2017

Seattle newborn photography mentor Dawn Potter, offers hands on mentoring to other newborn photographers. In your mentoring session, you will learn how to safely pose newborns. You will learn wrapping and soothing techniques to help keep your babies calm throughout your session. You will learn my go-with-the-flow posing style for both beanbag and props.

You will learn lighting, camera settings and shooting angles. We will discuss equipment and gear and the things you need (and the things you don’t need) when having a newborn photography business. The best part is that your 1 to 1 mentoring day will be hands on. Not only will you get to photograph the babies and the set ups, you will also have the opportunity to work through posing yourself with my guidance.

These darling littles were our models for a recent 1 on 1 mentoring session in my Issaquah studio. One baby was photographed using studio light, the other two were photographed using natural light. As you can see, we even worked through the ever so challenging awake baby. (Awake babies won’t seem as scary to you after your mentoring session!)

Newborn Photographer Issaquah | baby Astrid

June 8, 2017

If you’re looking for a Newborn Photographer Issaquah, you’ve come to the right place! This baby’s family travelled quite a ways to come in to the studio and I am so glad they did. When Astrid came in with her adorable little features, I knew she was going to be the perfect model for my behind-the-scenes video. She was just over two weeks old and I’m pretty sure she didn’t open her eyes the entire time!

The first image below is a composite. She was photographed on a stable surface with the green rug beneath her and then in Photoshop I was able to add the image to my digital backdrop with the dreamcatcher. Baby Astrid was not actually suspended as the final image shows.

I’m sharing all the final images from Astrid’s session below. Her session was a bit shorter than a typical newborn session because the images were only used in the video.

Issaquah maternity photographer | studio session

June 7, 2017

Issaquah maternity photographer Dawn Potter has a commercial studio in the heart of downtown Issaquah where she photographs newborns as well as maternity and milestone sessions. Maternity clients have access to a variety of gowns during their session and aside from themselves (and maybe their spouse) don’t need to bring anything else.

Two of the gowns shown below are from a vendor who specializes in maternity gowns specifically for these types of sessions. They photograph just as beautifully outdoors as well. Miss Allie was just about 37 weeks when she came in for her maternity session. While I typically photograph maternity a little earlier and most of the time outdoors, we didn’t have the best weather this last winter and scheduling outdoors wasn’t an option. We had to photograph her session in the studio. She looked beautiful and her session was amazing! I especially love the way the backlit images came out.

Sharing a few of my favorites from Allie’s session below. (And since I’m a bit behind on sharing this session, I’ve already posted baby Jack’s newborn session. Be sure to check it out!)

Diego was the first baby model from my behind-the-scenes video. I totally lucked out with two very cooperative little babies who were absolutely wonderful to work with. The first photo shown below was probably one of my favorites. I love how his little hand is tucked in so delicately under his chin. Melts my heart! And the detail shots at the end … swoon!
