Sweet Baby Boy Knox | Bellevue – Kirkland newborn-baby-maternity photographer

September 15, 2015

You guys, this sweet baby boy came in to see me for his newborn session a few weeks ago and he totally melted my heart. Talk about a smiling, happy newborn baby boy! I think he flashed us his cute little grin about half a dozen times and lucky for me, I actually managed to capture a few of those little grins on camera! He slept pretty soundly the entire time he was here and he absolutely LOVED being in the froggy pose. In fact, I think mom and dad had a tough time choosing between all the froggy pose because there were so many great ones! This little family was so amazing to work with and I was truly honored that they chose me to photograph these special memories for them.

I have had a long running streak of newborn baby boys since the beginning of summer and it looks to be continuing on. If you are expecting, please email dpotterphotography@gmail.com to schedule your newborn session. You can find more information about pricing on our Investment page.

9 Months Pregnant and Looking Fabulous | Maple Valley – Issaquah newborn-baby-maternity photographer

September 14, 2015

This soon to be momma met for her for maternity session when she was 9 months pregnant. Most maternity sessions are done in the 34-36 week window; just late enough in the pregnancy that momma is really showing but not so late in the pregnancy that she begins to get too uncomfortable. Kirsten looked fabulous! She was feeling amazing still, too which isn’t something you hear too often later in pregnancy. We trekked all over the place to capture some amazing photos of her and her hubby. The evening of their maternity session, there was a big event happening in the park near where we were so lots of people were crossing our paths. You can’t tell from their photos though. It’s almost as if no one else was around. I love capturing these special moments for expectant parents. It’s crazy to think that in just a few short weeks, baby Hunter will be here and I can’t wait to meet him!

Sharing a few of my faves from this beautiful couple’s maternity session.

Cake Smash Session with Adeline | Auburn- Maple Valley baby photographer

September 11, 2015

This Cake Smash Session might have been one of my favorites to date! When Adeline’s parents found me last winter and booked her 6 month session with me, I was honored. Most of the babies I photograph for their sitting up and cake smash sessions are return babies from their newborn sessions. By the time their milestones start to roll around, I’ve already formed a bit of a bond with the family. The first time I met Adeline and her parents was at her sitting up session and let me tell you, this family is amazing. I absolutely loved working with them and was so excited to have them come back to me for her one year cake smash session! In the 6 months since I had last seen her, she had not only started crawling which turned into walking, but this little one was on the move! She was dancing and clapping and singing along to her favorite tunes on daddy’s phone. It’s really quite entertaining to watch a group of adults try to keep the attention of a toddler during a photo session 🙂 Adeline did not disappoint. While I’m pretty sure her favorite part was the cake smash, my favorite part was seeing her little face again. Here are some of my favorites from her session and let me tell you, I can not wait to watch this girl grow!

Freya Sitting Up Session | Seattle Newborn-Baby-Family Photographer

September 8, 2015

Sweet little Freya was close to 8 months when she came to see me for her Sitting Up Milestone session. When planning these sessions with parents, I always try to encourage them to book their Milestone sessions around their baby’s stages and not according to their baby’s age. Babies develop differently and at different paces so there isn’t an exact age when they’ll suddenly be able to sit unsupported on their own. For this very reason, there are times when we need to push sessions back a little bit to make sure we are capturing this important milestone. This adorable little girl was all smiles! No teeth yet, but she loved chewing on her index finger. I even caught a few photos of her doing just that. She was an amazing little baby and there were so many photos from her session that I loved so much! I’m sharing a few of my favorites here. Just so you know, her eyes really are that beautiful. 🙂

Photographing Children | Addy and Avery | Maple Valley newborn-baby-child photographer

August 23, 2015

There is a level of creativity that comes into play when photographing children. Most children are a bit camera shy and not too interested in showing off their pearly whites. These girls, however are most definitely the exception. Little Miss Avery recently had a birthday and mom wanted to document the 5 year milestone with a little sisters session down at their riverside property. Addy was now 8 months old and sitting up well on her own so we combined their session into an amazing outdoor shoot. Avery and Addy wore beautiful lacy dresses that matched perfectly. And when I started snapping the photos, a vision came to mind. I was going to little Miss Avery into a fairy! A little extra love was put into this editing session to add some special finishing touches. The photos of the girls together turned out beautifully but I have to say the pictures of Avery are some of my favorites of all time. Sharing quite a bit from their session just because I loved way too many to try to narrow them down to just a few.
