✨My work from the past✨
These images range from 6 - 10 years ago. There’s no way to thank these ladies who trusted my vision, even though sometimes my ideas did not work out.
We traveled, they froze, they got dirty, hiked, and worked very hard on these shoots while we also had a blast. These memories and this time is a huge part of me developing my work and style, and I couldn’t have done it without them.
I have more old work to repost, stay tuned. by @dawndraphoto

✨Mouth of the Wolf✨

Amanda and I worked on this shoot together nearly a decade ago. It was such an experience to dig back into this time capsule and learn about myself and Amanda.

I remember the anxiety before the shoot thinking- how could I capture anything close to a feeling that she experienced? How can I possibly begin to show her strength and courage? All you can do is give it your heart❤️

Truth be told, that feeling is unimaginable and she has used her life experience to create educate, and inspire.

She just broke the news of her new documentary “Mouth Of The Wolf” Amanda Knox Returns to Italy”
I’m going to the premier @neptunetheatre Monday 1/26 - and you can also catch it on @hulu same date.

Thank you @amamaknox 🙏🏻 by @dawndraphoto

✨Self Portrait in The Vortex✨
What makes a Vortex site special? Is it just a fancy woo woo thing to say?
It depends on how open you are.
The type of energy in a Vortex is etheric and raises your frequency level. It also creates an easier gateway for beings in other realms if existence to visit our 3D world. The Verde Valley has been utilized for thousands of years as a place of healing and spiritual rejuvenation from native peoples to present day.
I was called to be barefoot, get in the water, chat with everyone I met, enjoy the sunsets, and to write. The biggest call was to make art- and ride a motorcycle.
I’ll be spending more time here and I’m excited to see what this energy brings to my artwork.

✨Scotland✨

What an adventure! I couldn’t find a model despite trying with all my might, so I had to do a little self portrait session. Two weeks of pushing my boundaries by driving on the other side of the car and road, exploring in complete awe of this land, filling my heart with new experiences and seeing new places nature- I feel so grateful and forever changed.

Thank you Scotland- my heart is full❤️ taken in Scotland by @dawndraphoto

⚔️Scotland⚔️

What an absolute dream trip. “What was your favorite part?” my old friend Vicy asked me last night as we had Scottish pie with her dog at a cute spot in St. Andrews.
Thinking about that now now in the plane....

I sure loved meeting up with my old pal from 20 years ago. We used to write letters back then because she lived in the Uk after our time together in Colorado and a quick trip to Europe together. Love you lady❤️

Was it the giant waterfall that swept into the sea? The hike I did solo early before the crowds to Old Man of Storr? The mystical magical Fairy Pools? 🧚‍♀️
The Isle of Sky? The Highlands?🙌

All of the farms and countless sheep? Driving on the wrong side of the road for 10 days? Honestly I was quite nervous about that so I feel kind of more badass now.
The friendly people were a treat-with the exception of the pissed off drivers behind me when I was not hauling ass.
The quaint old fishing villages along the North Sea? The old churches and graveyards- or was it the castles and all of that history? Spending quality time and traveling with my aunt A She is a doll.
Taking photographs along the way was obviously my heart and soul.

I tried to dream up a proper photoshoot over there with all of my power- but it wasn’t in the cards.
I also loved hearing from so many of you about your trips to Scotland or just reactions to my story.
We went from Edinburugh🌙To Glencoe to 🌙Fort Williams 🌙To Portree 🌙To Inverness -Aviemore🌙to Dunkeld -we stopped in Culross for a few hours -and ended the trip in St.Andrews.
Next time I’m on those roads, I will ride🏍️🏁

Thank you Scotland! Thank you Auntie! Thank you Vicy and Maple the doggie 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️ taken in Isle of Skye, Scotland by @dawndraphoto

✨Sister Witch✨
One lives in the PNW, the other in beautiful New Mexico. I got an email from New Mexico that she wanted to surprise her witchy sister with a devilish shoot. And we had an absolute blast conjuring magic in the forest and in the water.
I live for this.
Thank you sisters ✨Happy Birthday @mieux_vaut_etre_seule taken in Magic Forest by @dawndraphoto

✨Forest to the Sea✨

This beautiful family traveled all the way from Florida to visit the gorgeous PNW - and to experience a sweet sixteen photo shoot with me❤️Her dress took up one whole extra large suitcase. They drove for hours to get here, and hauling that dress through the rain and the mud was a real job:)
They worked for it -and we managed to make a fun adventure out of it. A memory never to be forgotten for this magical young lady on this monumental milestone.

I’m so grateful I got to do this for them. taken in Olympic National Park by @dawndraphoto

✨The kind of shoot I live for✨

My love for animals, movement, inspiring woman, and a slice of fantasy.
I have to punch myself that I get to do this as my job.
This gorgeous woman wanted photos with her two beloved beasts- but she wanted something different. She wanted soft, “blurry”, a touch of medieval, and to capture the love of her and her animal friends. Horses and dogs have a special place in my heart, so I was very excited.
And also nervous!!!! with all the literal moving parts.
But we shot for a few hours and during shoots like this- I joke that I “black out”
Not from booze I quit many years ago 🤣
But from being in the zone. That place where creating art takes you away from the whole world.
And when what you’re witnessing is pure living breathing moving art, it’s a double black out.
Thank you for sharing your magic and beauty with me @shadin_alarab ✨ by @dawndraphoto

✨Wild Feminine Power in Sedona✨
I miss you Sedona. And this woman is a like a dream.

She is wild yet rooted- and entirely her own. Her art is dance- she moves her energy through her body, letting it become something rather than it getting stuck.
You can feel that when you’re around her.

Our first phone call when she hired me- we talked for two hours. And then in Sedona we met for a tea date that lasted 4 hours. I love how my people just find me✨ I pinch myself everyday that this is my job.
Thank you for sharing your magic with me @emeraldscirque taken in Sedona, Arizona by @dawndraphoto

✨Rebirth✨
Sabina pulled that Rebirth card during our shoot, how absolutely perfect.
The transition into motherhood is such a sacred (terrifying) and beautiful thing- It deserves a ritual.
And so we made our session a birthing ritual. Sabina has a birth alter for her daughter, I LOVE that so much. Sharing that idea for other mothers.
I got to gift her a crystal to add to it🙏🏻
This shoot was so special to me. I love this mamma and I cannot wait to meet her little precious one next year when I return to Sedona.
I miss that Vortex deeply.
Thank you for this sacred time together my friend. by @dawndraphoto

✨Healing Energy✨
She’s a healer, a coach, a GODDESS.
She found me and booked her trip immediately and that is the biggest compliment I can ask for in this life. We had so much fun. She rolled with the 20mph winds. We laughed, we shared, and we created art together.
Much gratitude to this lovely woman✨ by @dawndraphoto
