Ulysses - Double Yow-sah!! Hot couple! Hot photography, Dawn. Fantastic job! They’re going to go nuts over these.

Love the scenic locations, too. I never saw any of this when I was younger and living in LA. Makes me wish for the opportunity to explore and shoot down there again.

Just great stuff here.

Ulysses - Hi there, Dawn! Congrats on the new blog! I know you must be truly tickled to have updated it like this. I know it’s going to be more enjoyable for YOU to manage it, but also more usable and even more enjoyable for your clients and readers. It’s all about interactivity, and I love the way you’re helping your readers to do that with you.

It even looks better than your old blog, kinda like opening up a new can of paint and unleashing a new color on the walls. :)

Wishing you all the best for you and for your family. I love what you do! :)

April 25, 2008 - 3:37 pm

Dawn Earles - Thanks U!! I love it so much more, and it sure is as refreshing as a fresh color of paint on the walls! I’m hoping everyone else will find it an improvement.

Valerie Hyatt - Yippie now its my turn to comment on my own photos. You did such a fantastic job! Every single one of them are my favs. I know I always like to pick out my favs from all of your shoots but this one its so hard cause its me. :) Ok I thought about it for a while and my ultimate fav is……..the one of me infront of the court house with your beautiful scarf on. You were so wonderful at making me feel comfy even with my belly hanging out for the world to see. Oh and Molly’s fav is the first one. Hehe…she likes the beautiful sky.
