Meet Dawn Charles, creator of Rise Photo Academy and DC Presets

“I’m a former intimate wedding and couple photographer (and a total editing nerd) based in Bend, Oregon, who spent years fine-tuning my craft and struggling to figure this whole business thing out.

But along the way, I realized I didn’t have to do it all on my own. And neither do you.”

Dawn Charles is an adventurous wedding and elopement photographer turned educator and the founder of Rise Photo Academy, which Dawn calls "Netflix for photographers." She is the creator of multiple digital products and resources for photographers, including her wildly popular DC presets. Dawn joins the Montana Diaries podcast to talk about her progression from photography student, to intern, to business owner. These days, Dawn's main passion lies with helping small business owners find success in their niche. 

I know you'll get as much out of this chat as I did -- make sure to let us know what you thought after you listen! 

What if I made an all-in-one platform where people from any experience level or any budget can come in and pick and choose what they want to learn about?
