Time To Create Some Memories
the experience
When you book with us, you are in for a treat. We are a full service photography studio, which means that we’ll walk you through the process of your portrait experience from start to finish. We want these images to reflect who you are and tell your story, so we want to meet with you before your session. We’ll plan every single detail with the end in mind so you can rest assured you’ll love the result. After your initial consultation, these are the four steps to a wonderful fine art portrait experience with us:
You’ll meet with us to go over style, home decor, wardrobe options, questions, wants and wishes for your session. We want your images to be unique to you, so we’ll personalize your session just for you. We’ll also talk about how you envision enjoying your portraits and your different printing options.
telling your story
The Design Consultation
The day of your session is where the magic happens. Our home studio is equipped with everything you can possibly need, from drinks and snacks to a changing table stocked with diapers. We even have fresh pastries in case you forgot to eat before coming to the studio. You can sit back in our comfy recliner, grab some coffee or tea, and relax knowing that your baby is in good hands. You’ll watch as Misty tenderly poses your baby in sets that will make your heart skip a beat.

The Session
This is the most exciting part of the experience since you’ll see your new gorgeous portraits in 5x7 professional proofs and behind the scenes video with music from your session. You’ll meet with us one more time and you’ll choose your favorite images. We’ll help you select the best ones for your gallery and will make suggestions for art pieces according to what we previously discussed at the Design Consultation.

"During my pregnancy I searched and searched for a photographer that I thought was worthy of doing my maternity photos and a newborn session when my baby girl arrived! I came across Misty Dawn Photography and after seeing how committed she is to her work I chose her and I was not disappointed! Misty made my maternity shoot a breeze and it was one of the only days I felt beautiful during my pregnancy, and I am thankful for that alone because it’s hard to feel pretty when your body is constantly changing! After informing Misty that my daughter was here she immediately had time slots where I could come in at my earliest convenience to have the newborn shoot done! Misty takes the necessary time to make sure the baby is calmed and taken care of, and that takes a lot of patience! I commend her for the job she does and the art she creates, which brings joy to many families! So if you haven’t figured it out by now, I highly recommend Misty Dawn Photography for your photography needs! Nobody else in the Birmingham area will do, I promise you will love her and absolutely love her work!"
