I know i promised to be a better blogger this year, and i’ve been taking steps to make that happen.  I’m happy to announce the birth of my brand new blog!  This one has just been so clogged up and so slow that it has been torture to attempt to post anything on it.  So i...

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… :)

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.

Hannah’s Bridals

The stunning Hannah!  We finally got to shoot together and it was so much fun!  I loved the style and attitude she brought to the session.  What an amazing smile she has!  (And an equally amazing pout too!)  The wedding is only a couple weeks away now, can’t wait!

Jen - Dear Dawn Earles,

I am a huge fan of your work and I am so amazed by your photography. I wish I could have had you do my bridals and bride/groom photography…neither of which I was pleased with my for wedding. The aspect I like most about your photography is that there is a sense of magic and fantasy and a fairy tale quality with your bridal and wedding couple portraits. The beautiful climate, tall trees and lush foilage where you shoot certainly adds to this ethereal quality. I also like the effects you choose for certain pictures…infared, double exposure, different filters and unique coloring. I have looked at hundreds of photography websites from around the country and you are one of the only ones who has this sense of magic in her wedding photography…and uses effects so often that make your photography look timeless…the opposite of dated and trendy.

Unfortunately, I live in Northern Virginia, near D.C. and we don’t have any trips to your state planned anytime soon. My husband and I are looking for a photographer to shoot some bridal and newlywed/bride & groom photography in our wedding attire, we need some to display in our home…we only have about 3 of us alone from our entire wedding and no stylistic/fine art shots of us together at all!… Are there any photographers who you would recommend in my area who you think have these qualities I like about your photography? Surely there is no one with exactly your style, but perhaps there is a photographer who is similarly minded in their artistic vision. Please E-mail me back when you can. Thanks!

Krystin’s Bridals

November 13, 2009 - 3:35 pm

Dawn Earles - Well i’m sure it’s quite boooooring if you check alot only to find nothing new for months at a time….. I will try to keep up with it better! But really, the blog is always last priority on my list of things to do!

November 15, 2009 - 7:28 pm

Lindsey’s Bridals

Wow, the few days leading up to this session, the forecast was so back and forth we really didn’t know if we were going to be able to shoot or not.  The final decision was made only minutes before her hair appointment!  She decided to risk it, we crossed our fingers, and the day ended...
