Robin’s Bridals

What can I say?  Robin was so laid back.  She had 100% trust in me and just let me do my thing.  It was quite refreshing!  She had no worries about her dress, or her look.  She just sat back and enjoyed herself, and the results speak for themselves.   Meet the stunningly beautiful Robin!
 PS:  Happy...

MsB - We’re not worthy, Dawn! Your processing rocks!!! I like using IR — okay, I TRY! — but, not near your level, girl!

March 1, 2008 - 12:23 am

MsB - BTW, Robin’s a BEAUTY!

March 1, 2008 - 8:38 am

Dawn - She is a beauty, isn’t she? The camera absolutely loved her. Yes, she gorgeous, but her personality is what made it a true success. She didn’t hold back at all. Gave me exactly what I asked for, every time. She really should be a model. She made my job effortless.

Carey - They are absolutely gorgeous! Dawn you did an amazing job! You helped to preserve this beautiful memory for Robin and we are all grateful. Robin really should be a model. We all think she is stunning.

Ulysses - Ohhhhh myyy.

Dawn, I love these. What a gorgeous bride she is! The freshness of her face along with those eyes! I really like the juxtaposition of her femininity with other elements such as the knarled old oak tree or the stark texture of the stones. Beautifully done.

Mandy (Robin’s sister) - And to think everyone says she looks just like me…ha! Dawn, you did a truly amazing job…although its not hard with someone like Robby. Can I book you for my 7 year olds wedding NOW??!!

Courtney =^) - you better have given it to locks of love!!!!!

February 12, 2008 - 4:53 pm

Dawn - I plan to do that sometime next year when I cut it strait. Today I layered it, so we chopped 13 inches off my top layer and 4 inches off my bottom layer. (Not enough to donate) By next year it will be down to my butt again! I plan to cut it short at that point and donate it. :)

How to shoot an artist

Yesterday I had a play-date with Jon and the Girls from Focus Productions!  This is what happens when you get a group of people who normally work behind the camera to come out in front of it for a change.  Myself included.  (Which is very very rare btw!)

Then, we decided to try a gorup shot...

We had such fun with you that day and we will always remember it for as long as we live. You are so very special to us and we value our time spent with you as well as your creative talents and input!

Dawn - Hey U! It must be my chameleon nature… ;)

Fun with a 3 y/o

Had a fun urban session at my studio today with the cutests 3 year old and her adorable curls.

Someone should tell mom she could be a “real” model!

I finally got my furniture in!  We decided to take my RED chair outside for some shots.

MsB - Oh gosh, she reminds me of that adorable girl from the old Pepsi commercial! You know, the one with the ultra curly brown locks. What a precious little thing this 3-year-old is! Yes, mom, this one should be a REAL model soon! :)

Valerie Hyatt - She’s adorable! I love the one with her jumping. Very cute!

MsB - Whoa! How many gowns does Amy own??? I was barely got my ONE gown for my own wedding day. No fair! :( BTW, do you use the Canon 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye lens, or do you own a Nikon? The reason why I ask is haven’t been at all successful with using fisheye lenses. :/

February 11, 2008 - 8:10 am

Dawn - Haha, it’s all one dress, the train is a removable attachment that even changes the look of the front of the dress too. It’s huge and it’s heavy!

I am a nikon girl so I shoot with the 10.5 fish.

February 11, 2008 - 10:25 am

Valerie Hyatt - I love the 3rd one. Its nice to see you go to different places and shoot. And of course im partial to Rip Van Winkle cause it was my choice of venue. :)

February 21, 2008 - 8:59 am

Lori Mendoza - Love these pics!!! Awesome!! I love Jefferson Island also because I grew up near it. It is a beautiful place and makes awesome scenery. Amy looked beautiful. Love the dress too!
