“Dawn’s photos have captured aspects of me that few other artists can tune into. I feel seen in front of their lens. Some of the pictures have achieved an iconic status in my mind, they live in my subconscious and conscious mind, coming up in my day to day life. I love Dawn’s use of natural settings, especially flowering plants in spring. Hand positions and gestures suggested by Dawn helped me know what to do with my hands, which helps a lot. I’m always excited when I get a chance to shoot with Dawn!”

“Being photographed by Dawn is a marvelous experience. I am not usually one who feels at ease in front of a camera, but within moments Dawn was able to soothe my timidity with incredible kindness, professionalism, and direction. Their way of seeing the world through their cameras and guiding through a flow of one pose into another are a wonder to see. Not only did they take incredibly dreamy photos that I am now using on my website, but I hope to experience it again!”

“Dawn effortlessly creates a safe environment to undress, body and mind. Postpartum is a raw and tender time. Dawn put me at ease and gave me beautiful photos to remember this period of my life. I didn’t want any posed, unnatural photos. I wanted to be captured as I am, in my new body with my new baby. That is exactly what Dawn did. I look forward to making more work together. The experience itself is as gratifying as the resulting photos.”

They capture timeless images with unique film and cameras and create art that feels intimate during the shoot and for the viewer. Working with Dawn is nourishing for the heart and soul and collaborating with them will result in tender and beautiful art that can be cherished for generations to come.”

“Dawn is an incredible artist. I love working with them. I have used their photographs for my website, instagram, press releases, and show posters. They have a way of impeccably capturing the essence of the moment, and the nature of a human. As a model, I feel very calm and comfortable with them behind the camera, like spending time with an old trusted friend.”

“I had never posed nude for anyone before, and I didn’t ever think I would be comfortable enough to, but Dawn made me feel so at ease during our session. The entire time with them felt so safe! They are respectful and talented and so sweet. One of my favorite photographing experiences.”

”I loved posing for Dawn – I did a nude photo shoot with my partner which, as a trans person, can feel very vulnerable. Dawn made me feel so safe and beautiful, not to mention the photographs themselves turned out amazing!”
