Kari Dawson Photography bio picture

{Kari}

Welcome to my blog! I'm Kari, an on-location natural light wedding and portrait photographer. I love the Lord who is the author of my gifts. I love what I do and know it wouldn't be possible without the Lord's gifts and blessing. I adore my wonderful husband, whom I'm certain was created just for me (and let's be honest, he thinks I hung the moon), my only son, and four lovely daughters. I believe it's our role as human beings to discover how in life we can be a blessing to others; for me it's behind my camera. I didn't grow up dreaming of being a photographer but it blossomed from my desire to capture every moment of my own children as they've grown and it has proven to be an amazing outlet of creativity, passion, and new relationships for me. For me, it isn't about how much money I make; it's about serving my purpose and what each client feels the first time they see their images. It's my passion to capture life's honest moments, freezing life, a moment, a memory, a child's phase, a couple's romance, and a family's bond. My work is not just a snapshot, but your life turned into art and meant to be displayed and cherished for generations to come. My name is Kari Dawson and I'm a photographer but it's what I do, not who I am. Who am I has defined my photography.

wee ones {Giasella} l Southeastern Michigan Child Photographer l Kari Dawson

Well, after a full year of visiting Giasella every month to photograph her stages of life she’s been upgraded from ‘miracles’ to ‘wee ones’. We’ll have a family session together in October and after that we’ll be on a normal once-per-year schedule. My final session with Giasella was sort of bitter sweet. It’s such an honor to be such an integral part of a babies first year and I’ve so enjoyed watching her grown from just a tiny baby, to getting teeth, sitting up, and onto walking. One thing remained constant through the months… big brother Gasper, Mom, and Dad especially think she hung the moon.

The Fiore family just purchased a new home and while they haven’t moved in and it’s still being overhauled the outside of their new property is lovely. The architecture complimented and directed the gorgeous light and the shots out by the pond are gorgeous.

Out of the hundreds of images I have from a year worth of shooting this image from our final session is my favorite and is a contender as an all time favorite.

Mom Jessica asked before she commissioned me for the year if I could do something Anne Geddes inspired so before the year was up, I had to give her something that would reflect a bit of Anne’s work.
