Dawn Nicoli has written a must-read book for anyone seeking to better themselves as a photographer and business owner. She provides a delightful perspective on how she is able to capture pieces of a personal story through the click of her camera shutter, as well as continually recreating herself and regain her footing through the bumps of life.
I got to personally experience Dawn’s talent as a photographer when I found her randomly as I was searching for a family photographer. I was treated to an incredible experience as she masterfully created beautifully crafted photos, while making everyone in the family feel comfortable. Her skill lies in being able to create a perfect photo from total imperfection. My family sought her out multiple times over the years for family shots, senior photos, and more!
Her photography skills are truly masterful, and I have never found another photographer that comes close to her talent in my life.
Dawn’s creative talents come to life again in a new medium – rather than a camera lens, you can now see her creative talent through her writing. The stories will grip you and keep you reading, wanting to find out the ending! Read this book - and learn from one of the best!

I recently had the pleasure of reading Dawn Nicoli’s newest book Through the Lens and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is always fun for me to get a chance to peer into the lives of people I have met and see what their experiences and passions are and how they came about being the person they were meant to become. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Dawns photography and now that I’ve read how she got started in her journey to become a great photographer it has brought me clarity to see why she is so good at what she does. Her passion for the art of photography has definitely helped her become the great photographer that she was meant to be. I’ve shared another of her books with my book club friends and I will be sure to sharethis one as soon as it is published.
