Dawndra is THE BEST! She always captures the sweetest moments in our family. She is great with the kids and really knows how to get a good shot.
Dawndra is simply the best. I had the amazing fortune of being gifted a mini session with Dawndra and it was such a fun and easy experience. Our daughter had a blast and Dawndra made it feel like we were just hanging out in the park rather than a formal session. The album we received is beautiful and the way she…
Dawndra was beyond amazing. The time spent capturing the photos was so much fun, and I felt very comfortable throughout the entire process (which is abnormal when getting my photos taken). I’m obsessed with how our photos turned out. They were everything I was hoping they’d be and more. Dawndra was very patient and…
I am over the moon with these photos! Dawndra was relaxed and professional and our one year old family shoot is stunning. Thank you for the amazing forever pics!
I had so much fun with Dawndra, playing around on our sunset shoot in Sedona. That sense of play and ease created incredible photos along with Dawndra’s great eye. I highly recommend giving yourself the gift of her talents!
After a new cancer diagnosis, my daughter-in-law did her research and found Dawndra for last chance shots while I still had hair. Dawndra could not have been more amazing. Fun, fast and most importantly, the photos are amazing. I hope to use again and highly recommend!

Dawndra is simply the best. I had the amazing fortune of being gifted a mini session with Dawndra and it was such a fun and easy experience. Our daughter had a blast and Dawndra made it feel like we were just hanging out in the park rather than a formal session. The album we received is beautiful and the way she captured the sunlight... I'm speechless! We will cherish these photos for years to come.
I adore you. No words!!
Dawndra was beyond amazing. The time spent capturing the photos was so much fun, and I felt very comfortable throughout the entire process (which is abnormal when getting my photos taken). I’m obsessed with how our photos turned out. They were everything I was hoping they’d be and more. Dawndra was very patient and kind. She encouraged our silly ideas and made the entire experience magical. She delivered so much more than I could’ve ever wished for, from start to finish. If you are still on the fence, just hire her! You will be happy you did!
Cammi you just made my day! If I could review you I would give you guys one hundred gold stars. That shoot was MAGIC!!!! Thank you so much!
I am over the moon with these photos! Dawndra was relaxed and professional and our one year old family shoot is stunning. Thank you for the amazing forever pics!
Andrea, this means so much. I loved our time together.
As soon as I found Dawndra’s work, I knew I had to book a session with her, that her professional creative process and masterful visual story telling would capture the essence of my own inner artist and muse. She is a master of her craft, with attention to every detail and visual element and her passion for evoking inner beauty, mystery, magic, enchantment and raw strength was more than just a photo shoot, it was a ceremonial experience for me, marking the end of a large chapter of my life, moving into a new one. It was a very special experience for me. Dawndra is also a brilliant story teller with her artistic vision, and all her magical props and other worldly costumes that she was so generous to share. Collaborating for my portfolio was fun, inspiring, transformative and elevating…..and I am so grateful for her patience and generous spirit that brought my dreams to life. Also grateful to have another strong female friend and muse in my life. Dawndra is amazing 🌹❤️🔥
Nicola! I am so lucky you found me. Thank you SOOOOO much! This means THE WORLD!
I had so much fun with Dawndra, playing around on our sunset shoot in Sedona. That sense of play and ease created incredible photos along with Dawndra’s great eye. I highly recommend giving yourself the gift of her talents!
Rio! You and Osito are truly special. I love your story, I love what you do. I love Sedona. Thank you!!!!
Dawndra is absolutely AMAZING! I needed photos taken for my energy healing practice and decided to do it while I took time off on my birthday. When I reached out to her she responded immediately. The stars aligned and she happened to be in Sedona at the same time I was planning to go. Her portfolio was so breathtaking that I booked my ticket immediately and flew out 2 days later so I could work with her. She asked my about my goals and intention for the photoshoot. She provided wardrobe recommendations and professional makeup recommendations. She communicated well leading up to the photoshoot and was prepared on the day of with additional dress options. We danced with 20+mph winds and she was able to capture exactly how I felt and wanted to convey in the photos. I felt, powerful, beautiful, graceful and fierce. Her ability to work with light and shadow made me look like an absolute goddess! I absolutely cannot wait for the opportunity to work with her again! Do not hesitate! Book her now✨️
Ashley - you are the manifestation of my PERFECT client and someone anyone in this world is lucky to know, to share your light! THANK YOU SO MUCH! You ended this season in Sedona for me perfectly, with positive manifestations in the future! Thank you thank you! I hope to work with you agian!
After a new cancer diagnosis, my daughter-in-law did her research and found Dawndra for last chance shots while I still had hair. Dawndra could not have been more amazing. Fun, fast and most importantly, the photos are amazing. I hope to use again and highly recommend!
Marla! I had instant tears reading this. I have thought about you a lot since I met you. And here you are doing something nice for me despite what you are going through. You are a beautiful darling! thank you so much and you are in my thoughts.
Dawndra is an incredibly professional and talented photographer. I contacted her on a very limited timeline (due to family obligations like military deployments and cancer treatments) and she was able to accommodate us within days. She was flexible through weather and the busy calendars of multiple family members. Dawndra took heart warming photos of our family who is going through a very difficult time. She gave great information on what to wear and what to expect before hand. She has a wonderful ability to get a smile out of anybody! We will treasure her photos for a lifetime. We are immensely grateful to Dawndra!
I am immensely grateful for you! Your family is in my thoughts and I am forever grateful you trusted me in this delicate time. You are a GEM on this earth Nicole. Thank you so so much.
Dawndra did a shoot for our family and one for my business and did a PHENOMENAL job with both. She was so easy to communicate with and exceeded our expectations in every way possible. She made our family feel completely comfortable and was so patient and kind with our three kids. She captured such natural and beautiful moments. Nothing ever felt forced or overly posed. For my shoot, she truly captured the vision of my business and created an indescribable magic. The images she created feel so aligned with my brand and who I am. Dawndra is beyond talented and I definitely look forward to booking with her again in the near future!
Both of our shoots were a literal dream for me, and I cannot thank you enough for choosing me. I ADORE your family and your personal images took my breath away. GODDESS!!! Thank you SO much!
