Why I do what I do…. {Phoenix Photographer}

October 26, 2009 – 6:43 pm

I do this because I look at a photo and see a story…I see that 6 year old that is only 6 for 365 days.
I see a 6 month old that is sitting in one spot possibly for the last time. I see a 1 year old’s profile that won’t hold still…..I see a family that will look back and say “remember this day………….”

Pictures indeed talk….not only do they talk, they tell stories that would have been forgotten. They freeze a smile, they help you remember the sound of laughter…..they help you remember to be grateful for all you have.






Can you hear them?

Red Walls…

September 20, 2009 – 6:44 pm

I have a proposal for everyone that lives in Phoenix. Are you ready to hear this?

If you find an accessible red wall somewhere in the valley I will offer up a free session for you or a relative or a friend. This photo above was taken at the Cardinals Stadium and is not for public access any time. This makes me sad because once I saw it I knew it would make for wonderful photos.
There are limitation…The red wall must be BIG(at least two car garage size)..can not be a wall inside your house…must be on public property, meaning if it requires trespassing then it’s a no go unless you get signed permission from owner.

Please email questions or photo of red wall to mdawsonphoto@gmail.com

More Photos from our vacation {Phoenix Photographer}

July 15, 2009 – 1:14 pm

This vacation was one the best we have ever had as a family. It was also the simplest. There is something to be said about simplicity.

I don’t share much of my personal life here but I feel compelled to do so now. The little guy above is my 3rd child, my most difficult child. While we were at the beach house he was the easiest. It was like something switched the light on and he became a dream child. I feel the pull of the beach more now than ever. His soul belongs close to the beach.


This is my daughter and my cousin’s daughter. They are 6 months apart and friends since birth. This is a friendship everyone needs and deserves.


This crew was so much fun to hang with all week.


My youngest surprised me…he loved the beach and the water.

By the end of the vacation the girls said “NO MORE PHOTOS PLEASE”

Okay not really. I don’t know what was going on here but this photo makes me giggle.
