First EE egg! plus...egg with "heavy bloom"?

Also, this pinkish egg is from one of our older girls (about 33 weeks) who just recently started laying consistently, and all her eggs look like this. I'm assuming it's a "heavy bloom" as it feels very waxy and when you wash it off, the egg is dark brown. Anyone have experience with this before? Will all her eggs be like that or does it change?
The pic is kind of odd here, looks to have been edited for lighting?
Would love to see a pic of one of these eggs, clear and well it, before and after washing.
Best to take pics in bright but indirect sunlight, on a white surface like a paper towel.

The bloom can add a tint, which can wash off, or at least look different when wet and dry.
Bloom can vary, but it's the brown coating that can get lighter as the season progresses.
 
Gorgeous pink egg!!! I don’t have an answer for you. I think I read the bloom is heaviest in the beginning of the cycle and usually only gets lighter, not darker. What kind of chicken is it?
Not sure on breed, she was sold as a New Hampshire Red but doesn't look like one at all to me. This is her

Sorry for the weird lighting, it was taken right outside the coop because I was so excited haha! The sunlight was really strong so my phone probably overcorrected. I will try to get a picture of the eggs indoors and a comparison of the heavy bloom egg unwashed vs washed. She has laid about 3 or 4 eggs now and they all looked like this, I assume it's heavy bloom because the pink tint goes away almost completely when washed and they're dark brown (even darker than the other 2 brown eggs in that picture). I was just curious if the heavy bloom is something that changes over time.
