Tacoma Newborn Photography | Adorable Baby Girl Wilhelmina Newborn Session

This sweet baby girl Wilhelmina came to visit my new photography studio in Lakewood, WA located just south of Tacoma and north of JBLM for her newborn session.

Her mom is a dear friend of mine and I was so excited to get to finally get to meet her! I love her hair! So much of it and it's got a little mind of its own. I saw something from each of her older siblings in her face and expressions - she is just so sweet and adorable. 

Check out the peek into her session below and see what I am talking about! 

Adorable baby boy Blake - Tacoma Newborn Session - Lakewood Baby Photographer

I got to meet up with this sweet little newborn Blake and his family a few weeks ago. He was just as cute as could be and all his little faces he would make had me smiling and my heart melting. 

I think you will notice by the props what the daddy does and it was awesome to be able to incorporate it into the session. Mom and Dad brought this very cute firefighter prop for his session and it was just perfect! 

Here is a little peak into his session! 

Adorable baby boy Jace - Newborn Session - Tacoma baby photographer

A few months ago I met baby Jace's parents Eric and Ashley at Ft Steilacoom Park in Lakewood for their maternity session. They are just the sweetest and cutest couple you could ever meet and I just knew that they would be amazing parents. The love they have for one another is undeniable! Its so sweet!!! 

Last month Jace made his grand entrance and a week later he was at my JBLM home studio to visit for his newborn session. I knew from the maternity session and from Facebook that the parents were huge Seahawks fans. When I saw a fellow photographer post an image for the superbowl, I immediately thought of this family and knew I had to pick up this outfit and have it as a surprise for their session(Check it out below!). I love how it turned out!!!

This little guy had the cutest little faces and smirks while sleeping. It was just too adorable and editing his session had me smiling!!! Check out some of his session below so you can see for yourself!

Congratulations to his parents Eric & Ashley!!! You have such a sweet, cute little man!

DIY cheesecloth comparison test - Tacoma Newborn Baby Photographer | Dawn Rocks Photography

I have been wanting to dye my own cheesecloth for sometime so I decided to buy a few different grades and test the quality. 

The far left is the grade 10 cheesecloth that you can typically find at Walmart, Craft Stores, etc. As you can see its much more gauze like and does not hold up as well. 

The middle is the 50 grade cheesecloth. It is a huge different from the 10 and I would be happy to use this as a wrap. Much thicker, holds up better. 

This is 90 grade cheesecloth. Although the 50 was good and I would use this in most cases to make wraps for the look I am drawn to. I like the thicker more fabric type feel and thickness to the 90 grade cheesecloth. 

For me personally, I will avoid using the 10 grade again unless there was a specific look I was trying to achieve. Anything from the 50 and up works well and will look good in my opinion if you are at DIY cheesecloth wraps. Links to different grade cheesecloths on amazon can be found below.

Adorable Paisley Rose - Tacoma JBLM Newborn Session

Good morning!

Today I am going to tell you all about my session with Paisley Rose. This little angel was only 11 days new when she came to my studio for her session, but in the few weeks since her arrival the world is a better place! 

I had a great time with Miss Paisley for her newborn session, even though at first she was ready to play not sleep! Just when I would think she was sound asleep she would have one eye open peeping at me. While I was editing her gallery I found myself smiling seeing some images of her with that one eye open, thinking back to how cute and funny it was during her session. She did quite a bit of smiling and smirking throughout her session too and it was just too sweet! So much personality already. We got some seriously amazing photos for her session! It certainly helps that Paisley is such a photogenic little lady! 

Enough from me though, check out this little angel for yourself! Isn't she just so sweet and adorable?!

We have a thinker on our hands! :)

This one cracked me up! What personality she has already and it shows! 

Look at that smile!! *Swoon* 

What a little angel!
