The Art of Being Patient. // Level up your Photography Business with Dawn Photo and Miles Witt Boyer

It's the secret to more authentic, more creative, more present wedding photography and Dawn Jarvis with Dawn Photo based near the Oregon Coast has hacked it. With a massive wedding and elopement following on instagram, a busy mentor program along side a separate senior photo business and even the occasional family photo shoot Dawn has taken over the Photo world lately. From being a part of a few of the largest industry summits and trainings in the world to simply being a more present mom and wife Dawn laughs her way through life but doesn't miss a single moment to get down to business.

This uncut episode from the Photographic Collective Podcast with Miles Witt Boyer is a masterclass in the form of a simple candid conversation. Miles and Dawn chat through ways to simplify posing, client experience, editing, and even creating processes for their couples to feel more confident and it all comes down to one simple word for Dawn : Patience. Learning to let creativity come naturally, her camera ready to capture but not quick to force a moment allows this finesse to her workflow, her process, and her relationships with her clients that feels easy but is absolutely intentional.

A rare behind the scenes chat with a legend and a good friend.

SHOW NOTES FROM THE PODCAST :

Dawn Jarvis is just absolutely remarkable. This episode was such a relaxed, candid conversation with a friend all about the way she sees her job and the doors that have flown open for Dawn as she's really leaned into her passion. From elopement and micro wedding photographed from the Oregon Coast and all over the world to seniors and families Dawn has leveraged her playful personality and wildly creative mind to get into everything from selling presets that immolate her filmic grainy style to guide templates that have become central to her client experience.
So many photographers today feel this intense need to follow the pack, niche down, focus on developing their style, and chase down all of the newest gear and then wonder why they're drowning in impostor syndrome and a lack of motivation. Dawn's perspectives on simply living within our purpose and pursuing growth and style and opportunity only when it feels like the right time to do so and with intentionality is so inspiring. What we're left with when we follow Dawn's advice? Not simply work that feels organic but a clientele that is fully invested in the way we can capture with is authentically there.
I think you're going to love this laid back chat. It's rare to get the opportunity to hear a photographer and educator as well known as Dawn dig this deep into her philosophy and Dawn's love for her clients, her family, and her process really shines through. I know I was personally challenged to dig even deeper into utilizing client questionnaires to allow my relationships, my posing, and even my compositions to reflect the people who have hired me to document them.
