Summary

Today's guest is one of our best friends in the photography industry… none other than Dawn Charles.

Dawn is an Oregon-based wedding photographer and business educator. She is a California girl at heart, wife to the cutest police officer in town (her words, not ours!), and mom to her two favorite little girls. 

At home in Bend, Oregon, you can usually find her playing with her kids or defending herself in Nerf gun fights against her husband, or traveling the world photographing weddings.

As Dawn grew her wedding photography business, she eventually navigated into offering education to other photographers with workshops, educational guides, and presets. The last of which she's KNOWN for. You've probably heard of her presets,  DC Presets, so we focused a huge portion of our chat today on how she defined her style, what you have to know before creating and selling presets, specific Lightroom tools she uses that people might not know, and lots more!
