When did you know the photography/video industry was for you? In High School, I began shooting rock concerts and got totally hooked. I later got involved working in the studio and moved into fashion.

I would definitely have to say when my image made the cover of the yearbook in high school… I can remember the feeling that went along with that. I was very shy growing up (still an introvert today) and so my camera served as my sidekick in exploring the world and a way to get outside of my comfort zone!

I launched my business- Dixie Dixon Photography now Dixie Dixon Inc. while in college shooting everything ranging from portraits, events, products, and etc to…
