Just a little fun…
Posted on December 14, 2011
I got some new Photoshop actions today, so of course I couldn’t resist playing with them. I dug out one of my favorite pictures from one of the sessions I did this year and tried them out! All I have to say is, “WOW!” I totally love my job!

I just had to share this with you all…
Posted on April 7, 2010
I received this sweet e-mail from a client yesterday and I just had to share it with you all. It brought tears to my eyes as I read it.
Thank you, JoEllen for your kind words!
Dawn,
I absolutely love the pictures. I’m so happy with the way captured not only his personality but some of his “looks” that make my heart melt. We’ve had different people take his picture before but not with such wonderful results. I will definitely be back and have recommended you to numerous people. I’m extremely pleased.
Best Regards,
JoEllen Grineski

Introducing “Classic Vargas” Vintage Style Pin-ups!
Posted on March 4, 2010
Dawn Buchanan Photography is pleased to announce another style of photography added to her portrait studio.
Introducing “Classic Vargas” Vintage Style Pin-ups!
Full sessions COMPLETE with a package (including your session fee!) designed by me.
Your images will be perfected by me, Dawn Buchanan, to make you look like you walked into the era of 30‘s, 40‘s and 50‘s. Please take a look at my before/after images to see for yourself.
Classic Vargas pinup sessions- $350**
…includes…
12 month Calendar
1-16×20 professionally mounted on double weight matboard
15- 3×5 finished images printed on Metallic paper (to give that extra “pop”)
Unlimited clothing changes and settings (up to 2 hrs. of shooting)
You can upgrade from prints to a 5×7 spiral flipbook album displaying 20 of your favorite images for $415
OR…instead of a calendar:
Picture yourself on the back of a set of playing cards! *one image only*
(With the same products mentioned above) $300
If you want to use my hair stylist and makeup artist (Robyn), there is an additional charge of $50 for hair or $75 for hair AND makeup payable to her the day of your session.
**Half of your session price is also payable at the time of your session. The other half is payable upon ordering.
FYI: The Community Playhouse in Cedar Falls, Iowa RENTS out vintage costumes! I think the rate is $20.00. That however, would be up to you, the client, but I do have a few items of vintage clothing and of course you are encouraged to bring whatever vintage items you may have as well.
Cash, check, and credit cards accepted.

Introducing Vintage PIN-UP Sessions…booking now!
Posted on February 8, 2010
I am so excited to introduce to you the new level of photography I have taken on…Vintage Pin-up Photography!
I am still in the process of learning right now, so therefore I had a few models come to the studio this weekend to be my guinea pigs.
I also have a few more coming during the week. (thanks guys- I love ya!) OH HOW FUN THIS STUFF IS!
So without further ado…meet Robyn! Robyn is Model #1 and WOW! She totally rocked it! She comes walking in the studio totally playing the part! I was so honored to have her volunteer her time to help me with my endeavor with Pinup photography. I am expanding my creativity, so I hope you all enjoy what I will be posting over time.
-Dawn
