Hi, I'm Dawn Charles.
I’m an intimate wedding and couple photographer who realized my true passion lies in helping other photographers. I transitioned from traveling every weekend and shooting to creating educational resources and teaching others in my industry. I live in Bend, Oregon with my husband and three daughters. When I'm not at my desk or chasing my kids around, I'm managing the local natural light studio I own with my best friend, updating our airbnb, or outside enjoying our amazing city.
I'm so glad you landed here, and I hope you find this as a place of helpful resources for you in your photography business or creative journey.
