Dawn Wendell

As a self-taught photographer, the one thing I have truly learned is that there is so much our eyes limit us from seeing. But through the lens I’m able to capture those moments in time that we might miss in our fast pace lives. I hope the intimacy I feel with my subjects will also be felt by you.

As a native Oregonian I have lived in this beautiful state for the past 63 years. I grew up spending time with my family and my husband camping and experiencing the wonders the west coast provided me as a photographer. The time I spent in the great outdoors connecting with nature and the things around us, has given me a very deep appreciation of the beauty on our planet. No matter whether it’s small or great, the subjects I photograph invoke a passion in me and I hope you too. My love for the great outdoors and the beauty that God has given us in the Pacific Northwest is the inspiration for my photography.
