About
What I love about what I do is that today is different from yesterday, and tomorrow will be different from today. I recently did a presentation for "Career Day" at a local high school, where they wanted me to describe a typical day. I told the students, "A typical day is that there is no typical day." I love that. I like being out meeting new people and having new experiences. My body needs to be in motion. I start getting irritable if I'm sitting in an chair too long; for example, spending an hour typing up a profile on Thumbtack ;) But some things need to be done. And if sitting in a chair for an hour is what it takes, then sitting in a chair for an hour is what I'll do. I just won't be happy about it, because I'd rather be talking to you.

Dawn was terrific! She was very patient and took her time as the house was not prepped for photos as it should have been. The pictures were beautiful and she went over and above for us!

Dawn was so easy to work with. Jumped right in and got all the shots that we asked for. She was great with both the adults and kids. We had our pictures almost immediately after the party. You can tell she loves what she does and bring terrific customer service with it!

FAQs

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I tell people that I've pretty much known since I was four, flipping through my mother's National Geographic magazines. To me, photography was magical. It still is.

  • What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

    I think the biggest thing in this age of selfies and self-proclaimed photographers is that photography--great photography--is more than just pushing a button. Everyone with an iPhone is now a "photographer". At least, that's what people seem to think. The fact of the matter is that photography requires skill and knowledge and instincts and patience. The right equipment helps. But people forget, it's not the camera that "takes really good pictures".
