Dawn Jarvis on the value of support systems and creative communities


 In this episode of the Montana Diaries Podcast, we have one of my favorite photographers, I mean, one of my favorite people — she’s a badass business owner with the biggest heart, our twighlighty Myspace queen with a ridiculous amount of talent, and a super cool hang, Dawn Jarvis of Dawn Photo! This conversation went SO FAST you guys, we talked about so freaking much and I could have talked to this lady all day. 


 Dawn is an Oregon-based photographer who specializes in elopements and micro weddings in the Pacific Northwest annddd she’s freaking incredible. In this interview, Dawn and I talk about her journey from shooting fake weddings put on by her college sorority to becoming the badass business woman and photographer she is today. We talk growing in business, cultivating a community and support system, learning as you grow, creativity, and expanding into the education space. Dawn is an amazing educator and is super open, so this is a MUST listen!
