I eat apples in a specific pattern. I love rubbing my nose on my babies cheeks. Watching my baby eat is one of my favorite things to do. I love long eyelashes and white teeth. I am celebrating 10 years of marriage this month. I love an afternoon nap although it is extremely rare that I get one. I am a hard worker and a bit of a perfectionist. I believe that life and love is full of seasons. I consider myself a blessed individual.

Short Bio - My name is Dawn McCarthy and I am a professional wedding photographer. I positively LOVE what I do! There is not a happier day in a woman’s life than her wedding day… well, okay... maybe those women who have won the lottery feel differently, but I am basing this statement on the average woman. I thrive on witnessing the love and blissful emotion between two people who are about to commit their lives to one another. I have a personal goal in every wedding that I shoot to provide my Brides with a tangible, everlasting reflection of the dream day that escaped them far too fast! I pay strict attention to detail, but evoke a light-hearted spirit that has been said to “put you at ease on the most important day of your life.” I love everything about weddings and I am always anxious to meet my next Bride…might you be her?
In addition to my insatiable passion for photography, I am a wife and a mom. I have been married for ten years (on the 17th of this month) to my college sweetheart and I am raising two boys who are undeniably the loves of my life! I have a thick southern accent that tends to make people smile and say “where do you come from?” But don't let the accent fool you! I am quite the savvy business woman. And I am a force to be reckoned with in my kitchen! An invitation to supper at my house is usually a coveted prize. You wanna come? I'll feed ya! If I had to pick a few adjectives to describe myself, I suppose they would be: determined, fierce, creative, honest and completely genuine. I’m just me. It’s been so nice to meet ‘cha.
Check out her other great work!

The black and white photo of the shoes towards the end is such a GEM!
Love the image (along with the rest) and love Dawn! She really is a genuine woman who puts her heart into all her relationships, not only the ones with her clients but the ones with fellow photographers. You’re one of the best, Dawn!
