Here are some reviews from past attendees:
“Dawn is absolutely amazing! I hosted one of her newborn workshops in Houston and learned so much! Even after the training she is always willing to answer any questions I have!!!! I highly recommend Dawn and can’t wait until she comes back to Houston so I can attend more of her workshops! “- Loree
“Dawn is an amazing photographer! I’ve attended her workshop in Houston, Tx in 2018. She’s very open and teaches very well. I was afraid of studio lighting. I have a better understanding now. She also taught me newborn safety. She’s very good at what she does. I would highly recommend her workshops!”- Miranda
“I attended a newborn photography workshop with Dawn. She is an amazing instructor and phenomenal newborn photographer. She is so patient with each and every newborn she works with. Her attention to detail and ensuring each baby is posed properly makes her one of the top photographers in the industry. Dawn is such an inspiration and I would absolutely mentor with her again. If I was in the Seattle area, there would be no question who I went to for or family photography needs.” – Gina
“Dawn is truly the newborn whisperer! I was thoroughly impressed by her professionalism, patience, and obvious talent while taking her workshop. She made learning super easy and fun! Plus, her work is FLAWLESS. You won’t regret booking with Dawn!!” – Demi
“I attended a workshop taught by Dawn and it was an amazing experience. So many ah-ha moments, I have no doubt this is taking my photography to the next level. She is a wonderful teacher and photographer!!” – Holly
:Dawn’s photography work is absolutely top notch. She is so good at what she does and makes it look so simple and flawless. I had the pleasure of attending one of her newborn workshops in Pennsylvania and she was so thorough and genuinely interested in us understanding, getting a chance to shoot, ask questions and comprehend all aspects of her teachings. She also has been very active in the ongoing facebook group for those who have mentored with her. I value this immensely as I know from experience, not all workshops have that great continuing support. If you are thinking of attending a workshop, just go for it! She will not disappoint!” – Melissa
