What does it mean to embrace self love?
Self-love begins with accepting oneself fully, flaws and all. It's about embracing authenticity and being comfortable in one's own skin, free from the pressure to conform to unrealistic standards set by society or others. Accepting oneself allows for greater self-awareness and inner peace. It means letting go of self-criticism, perfectionism, and past mistakes. Self-compassion allows for gentleness and understanding during difficult times, fostering inner healing and growth.
WOMEN EMPOWERMENT
“Being a witch means living in this world consciously, powerfully, and unapologetically.”
Gabriela Herstik
“I had the honor and enormous pleasure of working with Dawndra this week on a very special Goddess Shoot in surreal Sedona, AZ. This area is already spiritually charged; energetically and instinctively alive. Coming from the past few months of health challenges, both the landscape and Dawndra met me with compassion and inspiration.
Working with a photographer and artist who understands about walking the rough edge of growth makes the shoot powerful and healing in so many ways. If you’re able to travel to Sedona, Dawndra is there for a few more months. She will crawl inside and find the crunchy and the smooth, and help you express both.
Allowing vulnerability and flow while still being physically present and aware during a creative process is a gift. To be able to play with stunningly brilliant artists at the same time is the cherry on the cake. - Kari Kirkland Music (pictured above and below)
WHAT’S MY PROCESS?
I put this in here twice, because a lot of people miss it looking at the images.
First, we book a date. Next I take a $250 deposit and we talk location and styling. I shoot in one location since I shoot the two hours before sunset. Some locations allow us to move around and change up the scene. The shoot is usually 90 minutes to two hours. The rest of the payment is due the day we shoot. The following days you will see 20 or so sneak peeks from our session. My turn around time is 4-6 weeks. You will typically receive 80-100 images.
You bring touch ups, the outfits, and I recommend flip flops incase we do barefoot or water shots. I bring a few props, and some fun poses for you. I can’t wait to meet you!
“Dawndra is absolutely AMAZING!
I needed photos taken for my energy healing practice and decided to do it while I took time off on my birthday. When I reached out to her she responded immediately. The stars aligned and she happened to be in Sedona at the same time I was planning to go.
Her portfolio was so breathtaking that I booked my ticket immediately and flew out 2 days later so I could work with her.
She asked my about my goals and intention for the photoshoot. She provided wardrobe recommendations and professional makeup recommendations. She communicated well leading up to the photoshoot and was prepared on the day of with additional dress options.
We danced with 20+mph winds and she was able to capture exactly how I felt and wanted to convey in the photos. I felt, powerful, beautiful, graceful and fierce. Her ability to work with light and shadow made me look like an absolute goddess!
I absolutely cannot wait for the opportunity to work with her again!”

“Where do I begin? Working with Dawndra was a transformative experience. When I was asked to describe my photoshoot with her, the word that came to me was “effortless.” She is a true master of her craft. I have never seen myself so clearly”

THiS PhotoShOOT could be FoR YoUR BranD- Or SImplY FoR No REasON aT aLL. There are many reasons to celebrate how far you’ve come.
What to expect? What’s my process?
Expect to have some fun. Expect your photographer to guide you with posing the entire time. I am very bossy!
Some women get hair and make up first, some do their own.
Bring touch ups, a brush, a towel if there is water, and flip flops incase we do barefoot (easy to kick off) or for the water images.
We shoot for 90 minutes- but we could play for two hours. I like to shoot at sunset.
I take a 250 deposit to hold the date, the rest is due day of. (900) YES I do have payment plans. You can pay more for the deposit.
If it rains, we reschedule. You will see sneak peaks within a day or two, and then a full gallery of 70-80 images within 4-6 weeks. Travel Fees may apply.

LOOKING FOR AN INDOOR OR OUTDOOR BOUDOIR SHOOT?
“Dawndra did one shoot for our family- and one for my business, and she did a PHENOMENAL job with both. She was so easy to communicate with and exceeded our expectations in every way possible.
She made our family feel completely comfortable and was so patient and kind with our three kids. She captured such natural and beautiful moments. Nothing ever felt forced or overly posed.
For my shoot, she truly captured the vision of my business and created an indescribable magic. The images she created feel so aligned with my brand and who I am. Dawndra is beyond talented and I definitely look forward to booking with her again in the near future!”
