Let’s talk a bit about body shaming, shall we?  Oh, you guys are going to LOVE this… Today I had a lovely girl come in for a boudoir consultation.  She’s a beautiful girl, very sweet, and a nice small size 8.  We hit it off well as I showed her my sample albums and we […]

]]> Why Film, Why Now, Why Always? https://blog.dawnkellyphotography.com/why-film-why-now-why-always/ Mon, 12 Oct 2015 07:01:03 +0000 http://dawnkellyphotography.com/?p=18584 Dawn Kelly Media -

I don’t shoot film because it’s trendy. I don’t shoot film because it’s what the new generation wants or thinks is “cool.” Trust me, I have NEVER been cool. I’ve always gone against the grain, been my own person, and often paid the price for it. I spent (wasted) much of my life apologizing for […]

I LOVE shooting weddings. It’s seriously one of my favorite things to do. It’s also incredibly challenging. I have a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the easiest wedding ever, 10 being the worst, most stressful, four-hour-late, everything-goes-wrong type of wedding. Monique and Miguel’s Vintage Gardens wedding on Saturday ended up being about a […]

I am so beyond in love with my vintage Polaroid 195 camera. I spent this evening bleaching and scanning negatives, and am seeing how amazing the images can be when processed correctly. I’m obsessed with all things analog, all things imperfect, all things unique. Instant film has the ability to give you amazing prints on […]

It happened today. The feeling of sinking into a pocket of frustration, of being generally annoyed with imperfection. You know those times when you use your skill, knowledge, and creativity, and you try something new, and you NAIL IT? That did not happen today. I’ve made some huge changes in my business lately, and it’s […]

Sometimes you just need to go for sushi with your girlfriends. Three of us had a fabulous long lunch and vented about everything going on in our lives. It felt FANTASTIC! Everyone needs friends that you can say anything to, that you can confide in, and who support you. I’ve shared a lot about myself […]

I’d been itching to do something creative. There was a need in me that arises when I spend too much time on the computer and in meetings. It was time to create something beautiful and unique, and we were up to the challenge. McKenzie and I did some work on this dress (which I’ve used […]

There are several definitive characteristics about me that make me who I am. For instance, I watch I Love Lucy in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep, I can talk to a tree, and I’m highly addicted to dark-chocolate-covered honey comb. But there is much much more… • I’m OCD about my […]

Yes, we absolutely love photographing Vow Renewals! They’re always extra special because the couple has years of deep love and commitment between them. We treat a Vow Renewal like a wedding, photographing all the events, details, and personality of the day. For a Vow Renewal, we always encourage a First Look so we can do […]
