"I have been in this business for almost 15 years, and I still honestly and furiously love what I get to do for work everyday. I am so proud of the photos I take for my high school seniors. Watching them bloom in front of my camera is an epic experience for both of us. As a photographer, when they shine, I shine. I love getting to know each one of my seniors and creating a total experience that leaves them feeling empowered and confident." -Dawn
