Ashley came all the way from Kansas to shoot her bridals, and the last thing we both expected was to get cornered by a news crew that just happened to be in the area and wanted to film us. They filmed us while we were working and interviewed me… even though I refused a...
as im sure you can tell im blog stalker! lol o LOVE your work, these bridals are amazing!!
These ROCK!! Love your work. I love the effect on the first few. The tones in those are awesome.
Thanks Mel and Rachel!!! 
Dawn, you’re a celebrity! Wahoo! Like “mel6203″ I am also your blog stalker. But, I stalk your blog differently than I stalk others (haha!) because (1.) you are a master at post-production and I haven’t seen other stuff like yours, and (2.) you’re my age which makes me feel extra cool. Okay, #2 was a lame excuse, but it’s kind of a “fun fact.” OMG, I’m just a-rambling!
BTW, what lens are you using in the video footage?
Ha-ha, that’s not lame. I’m just stoked that people actually want to read my blog! (I’m using the 17-55 Nikon in the footage.)
The first one is my fav. But of course it took me forever to choose cause they are all beautimous.
You are Freakin’ Awesome!!! Like ALWAYS!
Dawn, congrats on being on TV! Your work is always imaginative and stylish. Keep up the great work!
Dawn, simply spectacular, as always! I think you and Ashley make an incredible team. Great photos come from having a kick-butt photographer along with a subject who is willing to embrace your vision.
Hey U! Sooooo true! Photographers can only take you so far, subjects really have to be willing to work hard to get the shots they want.
So, have you noticed any difference since this “free publicity”? If so, I need to get in on the action, too, with local news channels here! 
I just wanted to share my nephew’s birth announcements that I made this week! Just a little something sweet to go on everyone’s fridge! This is a 4.55×5 flat card, front and back. The just came back from the lab and look sooooooo cute!!!!

Very cute! I want some when I have this baby and oh yeah….ANOTHER GIRL!!!!! :0
If anyone tried sending me an email yesterday, you may notice that it bounced back to you. As far as I can tell, I am getting them, but if I have not responded to you, try sending your email again. My web host did notify me last week that they would slowly...

I love the last one. It shows their personalities and has great colors. This couple is too cute.
these are fantastic, as always! i love the raw emotion in your photographs!!
I agree with Valerie. I love that last one and the third one up. That green shirt pops in the enviroments. I also love how you get your subjects to relax and be themselves. It really shows that you have a great connection with them. It is hard for many artist to do that. Beautiful!!
I wish that I could say the same; it’s been downright pouring here in Portland, Oregon. *sigh* I’ve had to reschedule sessions almost every weekend! So, I envy your location and new studio. I hope to get mine sometime this year!!!
Dawn! I’m so excited! I love love love these! I wasn’t even expecting to see ours up already I was just coming look! Thanks for the great job!
I love the last one and the third one from the bottom with the bamboo. Dawn you are extremely talented
Thanks everyone! Brittany, glad you love them!!

So after my marathon at the hospital, I had another marathon Sunday all day at Melodi’swhere I shot 20 kids in Oopsy Daisy Baby skirts, during back to back mini sessions and it was all for a good cause. We raised nearly $1000.00 and had a great time doing it. I do plan on posting shots from...

The girl in the car and the last one are my favs!!!! Those skirts are soo fluffy and fun!
okay, the little girl on the door is awesome!! and can i get one of those skirts for my daughter, those are awesome
Aren’t they all so cute, and there are so many other kids that were all just as cute, just going to take me a while to post. I love the 4th one cause it shows so much movement in the skirt and I was hoping to capture that with one of the kids.
These are simply stunning.
My sister went into labor at 5 AM on Friday…. little did my family know just how long of a day we were all in for…
At 7 PM everyone was still waiting…

Hey Dawn, I worked Friday at the hospital, i’m so bummed I couldn’t take care of your nephew!! I work tomorrow, if they are still there, email me mom’s name so i can take a peek at him!!!! =)
Courtney, sorry you missed him, he left before I got your message. Maybe in a year I’ll have one for you to take care of!
Wow, Dawn–very cool!
Absolutely beautiful…. congrats!
So sweet! Can’t wait to see the newborn photos.
Such a fun session! The day was perfect…well, a little windy, but otherwise, perfect! I loved her choice of outfits. Mixed with the colors and textures of the urban backdrop, it made for some vibrant photos. Enjoy!
She took her pink bike for a spin outside the studio. How fun!
No we didn’t bring a big fan...

Ooh-ooh, I totally dig that first shot — great composition and processing!
She’s a SENIOR!?! Not only do senior rings not look like that when I was in high school, neither did the seniors LOL! Fantastic shoot… magazine worthy!
Still gorgeous
These are amazing. Look like they could be on a cover some where
They look so great!! It doesn’t look like it was that windy! I love that yellow jacket too and I almost asked her where she got it!
An awesome senior session, Dawn. Lots of different looks to her personality in these. She’s got plenty of reasons to be ecstatic.
My fav is the one with her reflection in the window. Its supa cool!!
Thanks everyone! She was so fun to work with!
Your work is AMAZING !! i love the bright colors !
