Hey There, Friend!

Welcome! I'm Dawn Cameron, an Ottawa-based family portrait and branding photographer.

My passion is collaborating with my clients (asking questions and digging deep into what kind of photos you want) to create stunning, heartfelt images with a unique and cinematic flair.

I am perfectly chill with the right amount of silly. During your session, we will move around, laugh (a lot), and make a ton of memories along the way.

If this sounds interesting to you, pour yourself a cup of coffee and visit any of the links below.

Explore the magic that is possible when you work with me.

My goal is to photograph your family and your brand with honesty and authenticity.

I do this by learning all about you and your photography goals. I spend a lot of time planning out your session beforehand, so that when the day arrives, I can choreograph and create little vignettes with ease, and capture the beautiful moments that naturally happen.

Let the silliness ensue! Sound like fun? Then let's chat!

Testimonials

The Hall Family

Our family had a great experience with Dawn as she photographed our family this past summer. With 5 kids under the age of seven, we knew that might be a challenge. However, Dawn was wonderful with the kids and keeping them engaged. The time flew by, went incredibly smooth, and we were beyond happy with the pictures we received. We will treasure the photos.

Dawn has taken family and professional photos for us, and we have loved every aspect. She’s friendly and professional, and helped even my super shy toddler be comfortable with pictures; she had great suggestions for location; our candid family shots are full of emotion; and she took great professional shots- unique, professional and fierce. I hope to continue working with Dawn and getting more photos over the years!
