Hi I’m Bonnie or Bon, I’m a photographer drawn to the quiet, meaningful moments that make up family life — the connection, the chaos, the tenderness and everything in between. My approach is relaxed and documentary inspired, creating space for genuine moments to unfold naturally rather than overly posed images. From growing families and newborn snuggles to maternity sessions celebrating the season before everything changes, I aim to create imagery that feels honest, warm and timeless. I want your photos to feel like memories — the little details, the movement, the way this chapter truly felt. What drives my work is preserving people as they are, in a way that feels real. The fleeting stages, the imperfect moments, the love woven through everyday life. These are the photographs that become more valuable with time. Working with me feels calm, easygoing and natural. I’ll gently guide and direct you throughout your session so you never feel awkward or unsure of what to do, while still leaving room for real connection and emotion to shine through. My sessions are child led, relaxed and focused on creating an experience that feels just as meaningful as the images themselves.
“I had come across Bonnie- Lilly at Dawn instagram page a while back and loved everything about her work and knew that our next shoot I wanted her to capture us. So when our third baby was born, we deciced to go with photos in our family home (inspired by her work). We couldn't have been happier, it was so relaxed and she just snapped away while we chatted and we now have the most perfect collection of family photos to cherish from the shoot.”

“Bonnie has been photographing our little family for seven years now. She has continuously created incredible magic shooting our engagement, wedding, pregnancy, and shoots for each of our children as they joined our family. Having your photos taken by Bonnie is a beautiful experience. She has a special way of helping you feel at ease, and as a result you get raw and honest moments which will bring tears to your eyes and give you goosebumps. I honestly couldn’t imagine going to anyone else.”

“I couldn’t recommend Bonnie enough for creating the most beautiful, relaxing and comfortable space to have our family photos done with our newborn baby girl. We both felt so at ease in front of her lens despite not usually enjoying being the subject in photos. We got our photos back so quickly, and they were beyond perfect in all their candid elegance. We can’t wait to have more done as our little family grows.”
