One Year Session | Seattle Baby Photographer

August 22, 2016

My one year session with baby Quinn got off to a little bit of a rough start. This sweet little girl wasn’t feeling her best when she came in and din’t want to have her photos taken. When scheduling milestone sessions, I make sure to communicate how important it is to parents that we schedule for baby’s happy time. This is really vital to the success of the session. And even when we make every effort to nail that window, sometimes it doesn’t work out. This was one of those times, sadly.

We decided to reschedule her session and have her come back about a week later. We scheduled for a different time of the day to increase our chances of success, and I’m so glad we did! The second time Quinn came in we were able to capture a lot more of her true personality on camera. I’ll share a few of my favorites from her session below.

I will admit, it’s pretty amazing being able to photograph these little ones again and again. I get to watch them grow up and change and see their personalities come to life. Quinn came in for her newborn session almost a year before and seeing her again really made my heart happy! I say it over and over again but it’s true: I have the best job in the whole world!

Boy Girl Twins | Seattle Baby Photographer

August 21, 2016

These boy girl twins were just about 4 months old when they came in for their session. 4 months is a fun age to photograph because unlike during the newborn session, babies are typically wide awake and engaged in their session. These sessions tend to move a bit more quickly and the parents are usually pretty involved. This session was like that times two! Mom and dad were hustling to get these little guys changed and ready for every set up. It took a bit of work and it was a little bit exhausting I’m sure! But in the end, totally worth it because we captured some amazing photos.

These two were quite worn out toward the end of the session and they even dozed off for a few minutes, letting me snap a couple of beautiful sleepy baby portraits. Sharing a few of my favorite images from this boy girl twins session.

Three Week Newborn Session | Seattle Baby Photographer

August 20, 2016

Three week newborn sessions don’t happen very often for me. Usually, I’ve scheduled a newborn several weeks before their due date. This way, mom and dad just let me know when their little one arrives and we get them in pretty quickly. On occasion, I have babies that need a little more time before they can come in for whatever reason. This baby girl was almost four weeks old when she came in for her newborn session. And even though she was a little older than most babies I photograph, she slept unbelievably well.

Mom had told me she really wanted to keep the session more natural. She loved the portraits where baby was the sole focus and didn’t want to incorporate a lot of props. Together, we chose backdrops that suited their style and the look they wanted to achieve and in the end, Lola’s gallery came together quite beautifully. Sharing a few of my favorite images from sweet little Lola’s three week newborn session.

Issaquah Newborn | Issaquah newborn whisperer

August 12, 2016

Issaquah newborn photographer Dawn Potter specializes in baby photography for her clients in Seattle and the surrounding areas.

I have been photographing this family for a few years now. I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful momma when she was pregnant with her first baby girl. Her maternity session in the snow was truly breathtaking! I then photographed her baby girl’s newborn session after she was born a few short weeks later and continued to photograph her daughter for her milestones leading up to her one year cake smash!

When they were expecting baby number two, I was honored to be chosen to capture these special memories for their family once again. We did a mini-maternity session for her in the middle of winter when the sun in all it’s glory decided to come out in full force for a gorgeous golden light glow. Which led us to this beautiful little boy’s newborn session. It’s truly been such a joy to watch this family grow! Here are some of my favorites from this Issaquah newborn session.

Please contact me for details on scheduling.
