Issaquah Baby Photographer | Twin newborn boys

November 11, 2015

Issaquah baby photographer Dawn Potter is a natural light photographer specializing in newborn photography. Studio is located in Maple Valley, approximately 20 minutes from Issaquah.

Meet Ian and Ezra, twin boys whom I had the pleasure of photographing when they were just days old! These boys came to see me weighing under 6 lbs a piece and were so stinking adorable! Their big brother couldn’t have been more excited to be a part of their newborn session. He sat perfectly still and was extra careful not to move when his little brothers were curled up beside him. I just loved all their sweet little facial expressions. As a newborn photographer, I don’t get to photograph too many sets of twins but when I do, I really enjoy it so much. Every baby is different, of course, but I’ve found that every set of twins I’ve photographed, is most content when they’re placed next to their other sibling. These guys were no exception. 🙂 Here are a few of my favorites.

West Seattle Baby Photographer Family Mini Session | Sunset Beach Seattle baby photographer

October 28, 2015

Looking for a West Seattle baby photographer? Please contact me at dpotterphotography@gmail.com for more information.

I met this West Seattle family over the summer when they brought their daughter, Freya in to see me for her sitting up milestone session. We decided to shoot their family session at this beautiful location in West Seattle that was right next to the water and surrounded in greenery. Momma had her maternity session done in the very same park so it seemed fitting to shoot their family session at the same place to really showcase their growing family. As before, Freya was the perfect little model! The weather was pretty amazing, too.

Here are a few of my favorites from their session.

Seattle Baby Photographer | Newborn baby girl | Maple Valley newborn photographer

October 23, 2015

As a Seattle baby photographer, I can tell you that there’s no doubt in my mind that I have the most amazing job on the planet. Every single time I have a baby scheduled to come in for a session, my heart does little flip flops in excitement. About an hour before the session starts, I spend time in my little studio space preparing for these little ones and meticulously planning out the details of how the shoot will go. When baby is the ‘only child’, we start out posing the baby by themselves. This gives mom and dad some time to relax and for us all to get a little better acquainted.

When baby girl Abriella came in to see me, she was the first baby girl that I had photographed in quite some time! (Lots and lots of boys throughout the summer months-I’m convinced there must’ve been something in the water!) Since she was my one and only baby girl, I couldn’t resist shooting some super girlie set ups with her. At nearly 10 lbs, this sweet little squishy baby pretty much slept the entire time… she must’ve been having some amazing dreams because she even flashed me a few little smiles. I LOVE BABY SMILES

Here are a few of my favorite images from her session.

Maple Valley family photo session | Maple Valley – Eastside family – child photographer

October 22, 2015

This Maple Valley family photo session was with a family I’ve spent the last year photographing. Starting with when little miss Addy was still in her momma’s belly. Watching their girls grow has been such a pleasure! Being a mom of three young boys, it’s crazy just how much different it is photographing little girls. My boys like to run around and could literally care less about smiling for the camera, but these girls… these girls are the perfect models. Seriously. With summer winding down and the beautiful sunshine and warmth on its way out, it was nice to able to sit capture this Maple Valley family photo session before the weather turned. Love these guys and I love how their session came out.

Here are a few of my favorite photos from their shoot.

Breastfeeding Session at Sunset on the Beach | Seattle baby photographer

October 21, 2015

I’ve seen a lot of breastfeeding session photos circling the internet these past few months. A dear friend of mine in Germany has created a beautiful video highlighting motherhood and breastfeeding and all the love that surrounds it. You can watch her video here. As a mother of four children, all of which I have breastfed, this is a topic near and dear to my heart.

During my trip to San Diego, one of the fellow photographers who I’d met during the workshop I attended in February, had asked if I could capture this special moment for her and her youngest son. We had already planned to meet at the beach to photograph a newborn at sunset so I told her to bring the kids, bring her clothes to change into, and we would make it happen!

The baby we were photographing that evening was a little difficult to settle. Daylight was running out quickly and the sun was setting fast. We only had a few moments to snap these images of her with her son before the sun was gone. I’m so glad we made it a point to do this. Here are my personal favorites from her breastfeeding session.
