NEW WEBSITE!

It’s finally here, the new website.  It’s a bit different from a “traditional” photography website.  If you have any problems finding your way around, just let me know.  I tried to make it as easy as possible but I’m sure i’ll be making little changes and fixes that i didn’t think of before launching it.

katy gray - Gorgeous!!

March 12, 2010 - 12:39 am

Jessica B - Dawn what time of day did you shoot this??

March 12, 2010 - 11:47 am

Dawn Earles - I think we started around 1:00. These were shot in january.

March 13, 2010 - 3:10 am

Jessica B - I thought it looked like middle of the day! They are beautiful (as are every other shot you take at this location) I have been so trained to not shoot in the middle of the day, that I haven’t done it much, but your images as making me think twice. I mean, I’ve always known it’s possible, I just haven’t done it enough… Plus, here in Nevada it seems so bright all the time. Maybe I’ll have to wait until next January… :)

March 13, 2010 - 11:21 am

Dawn Earles - Oh no, i dont’ ever suggest shooting in the middle of the day. Over here in january it’s dark by 5 so this still falls under the “last few hours of daylight”. The sun was still way off to the side, not directly above. I adjust my shooting time every month of the year.

Rachel and Casey E-Session

Rachel and Casey shot their engagement portraits with me last week.  The weather was just perfect!  Which is great because this was our second attempt thanks to all this crazy weather we’ve been having.  I love the style they brought to the shoot.  I had loads of fun, and now i have loads of previews...

Remember Lauren?   Well this time it was Leslie’s turn!  Leslie, Lauren and their mom Stacey came to see me last week to shoot Leslie’s Senior portraits!  Leslie was such a great model, I can’t believe she managed to squeeze all her outfits in time for the shoot to finish!  Check out a few of her shots...

Eve Turns One

Last month, Eve turned one year old!  How exciting that was!  We had a small cupcake party for her and i baked her one of those giant cupcakes as her smash cake, covered in fondant with a pretty pink ribbon wrapped around it, and set it on top a tower of cupcakes. I found the cutest...

holly - Hey Dawn! Where do you get these cute little signs that you have been using recently?

March 1, 2010 - 12:59 pm

Dawn Earles - If your talking about the happy birthday sign, i made each letter in photoshop with a different font and a different background and then i printed them on 5×5 paper and punched holes in them and strung them on twine. The save the date sign used a few months ago came from premade files that i purchased and then printed, but for eve’s birthday i wanted a more vintage look for the backgrounds so i made my own. Its a lot of effort to make each letter myself, but i love the look and would definitely do it again for her next birthday!

Cigi and Reid – Engaged

I first met Cigi about 5 years ago – when i shot her senior portraits!  Now she is going to be a bride!  Wow, have i been doing this so long now that my senior clients are starting to become brides?  Oh how time flies! 
I was very excited about this session, not only because i...
