☀️ Slow Sunday Vibes ☀️

Sundays are for soft light, quiet moments, and remembering who you are beneath all the noise. ✨

Let the world slow down for a bit. Breathe in deeply. Stretch. Feel your body — not for how it looks, but for how it feels.

You’ve carried, cared, given, loved… and you’re still here, still strong, still beautiful.

So today, don’t rush.
Don’t fix.
Don’t hide.
Just be.

Because you, my darling, are art — even on a sleepy Sunday. 💋

✨ “What can I say other than OMG Dawn is amazing.” ✨

I’m Dawn Hilton, based in Melton Mowbray — the only independent Iris Photographer in Melton Mowbray, the only one in Leicestershire and in the East Midlands.

When you book with me, you matter! Your iris isn’t sent off to be bulk-edited, outsourced, or dropped into a generic template. Every single image is edited by my own hand — carefully, lovingly, and bespoke to your taste. 💛 No shortcuts. No overlays. No outside editors. Just me and your one-of-a-kind iris.

Sadly, not all Iris Photography works that way, so please don't let your iris become just another file in someone else's in-tray. With me, you’re never insignificant. You’re the heart of the art.

This beautiful review sums it up:

> “The creativity, the colours, the whole thing is amazing. So personal and so unique. If anyone is thinking about having it done then all I can say is book with Dawn and let her work her magic and you'll be amazed with your own eyes.”

🌟 Proud to hold over 64 five-star reviews on Google plus many more on Instagram and Facebook, all celebrating Iris Art that is 100% handmade by me in Melton Mowbray. 🌟

📍 Covering Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire and the East Midlands and beyond, with clients coming from all corners of the UK, and with over 10 plus years of photography experience and over 2 years of Iris Art expertise.
If you want independent, one-woman Iris Art made with love and care — I’d be honoured to create yours.

✨🎉 THE SECRET’S OUT! 🎉✨

I can finally share this incredibly exciting news!

Meet Amos Kitson, newly announced as Dudley Dursley in the upcoming HBO and Warner Bros’ Harry Potter TV series! 🧙‍♂️✨

This gorgeous headshot is one I had the absolute honour of shooting for his official promo release – even though this was an emergency, last-minute, “Dawn! Can you help?!” headshot! 😂 📸

Honestly, I couldn’t have been more thrilled (and slightly panicked – I had half an hour, tops! 😂) to be asked, but it’s not every day you get the call to do a rush headshot for an international announcement like this!

But what an honour! Amos is such a brilliant young man – professional, kind, and so deserving of this opportunity. He and his lovely family are over the moon, and I’m over here cheering them on like an honorary "auntie". 🩷

If you haven’t seen it yet, the first-look casting has just been announced by HBO and Warner Bros Discovery, with the whole new generation of wizards ready to bring the magic back to our screens. You can read about it here:

✨ Amos is an incredible young man, and I can’t wait to see him make Dudley his own!

I’m so grateful to have been trusted to do this headshot, and I’m already excited at planning much less rushed future sessions with him as the years go on.

I’ve photographed Amos and his family before (including their beautiful dog Dolly 🐶 ) so I think it’s fair to say I’m officially their go-to photographer now!

Truly, I am so honoured to share this amazing news! ✨

Please join me in sending the biggest congratulations to Amos and his family. Let’s all watch this space – the magic is just beginning! 🧙‍♂️📸
