Photographer's Profile

Dawn McBride

Fuzzy Love Photography, United States

Born bouncing face-down on the front seat of a pea-green Gremlin along Lake Ontario, Canada, Dawn entered the world already choosing chaos. She spent her formative years perfecting the pronunciation of house, about, and mouse. During these impressionable years, she discovered that doggie head-tilts are her kryptonite—a weakness she has since built an entire career around rather than addressing in therapy. She now lives in a cabin in the mountains of Utah with her long-suffering partner, her 9-year-old skin baby, and her 1-year-old mega-mutt who believes he is a lap dog, a security system, and a deity. The household runs accordingly. Dawn is a full-time pet photographer and a five-time Best of State award winner. She loves gin, a perfectly timed swear word, and watching dog ears flop in slow motion. She insists on referring to herself as “we,” speaks about Dawn in the third person, and has been asked—repeatedly—to stop. We regret nothing.
