Testimonials

“Dawn is a joy to work with.  Her positive energy, vast experience within healthcare, and ability to bring complex concepts into real life terms for a variety of roles from MD’s, Nurses, Pharmacists and Ancillary Staff,  both through training and a video project was exceptional.  She listened to our need and came back with a thorough plan about how to meet that need with great skill in asking focused questions to make sure she was on the right track.  She works well with a diverse team and leads by example with a quiet confidence that inspires others.  She showed great flexibility with the changing needs of our training project and jumped in where ever she was needed.  She went above and beyond in creating the Day in the Life of Pharmacy video.  She exceeded our expectations.   I look forward to the next opportunity to work with her again.”

“Dawn is very enthusiastic about her photography and has a gift for putting people at ease.  Our staff love her.  We have several staff at our Wellness Center that Dawn has photographed for our website along with several updates.  Dawn has shown great flexibility to photograph new staff under sometimes tight deadlines.  She listens to what we need and plans accordingly.  She has a sensitivity for working within a wellness setting and creates a very positive experience.  We are very happy with her photography and would recommend her to others.”

“Dawn is a really good teacher. She made it enjoyable. She never made me feel bad. They should give her a raise. Even though she has taught this class many times, she was enthusiastic as if it were the first time and helped me feel like I can do it. I think she is the best teacher I have had. Thank you.”
Jaci and Melissa, RN’s, Lakeview Hospital

“I’ve known Dawn for over six years from previous work we did together. So when, the company I work for had a need for physician photographs for advertising and the company website, Dawn is the first person I called.It was one of those projects where “us as the customer” changed the scope daily until we knew what we really wanted. Dawn was highly-flexible in accommodating our needs and helped us with defining the project.

Dawn worked with the Clinic Manager to find a good location at the clinic. She helped the physicians feel at ease and provided music, sensitivity, humor and fun during the session. We received high quality photographs which were delivered to us quickly! Working with Dawn Vogel from Luminous Concepts is always a positive experience! I truly appreciate her healthcare knowledge, her sense of understanding the customer and quality of work!

“Dawn was incredible. We are so pleased with her wonderful photography. We feel really lucky to have those moments captured. She really captured the essence of our family and the things we love to do, which we wouldn’t have thought of without her prompting and playful spirit. It was completely natural. Thank you. We adopted again and have a new dog and will have her back to photograph the new additions to our family.”
Kathryn & Alex S, St. Paul Family

“Having worked with Dawn on various projects, including Cheetah Development’s 1st Annual Benefit and the Torch Community Career & Leadership event, I value her strong interpersonal connection and positive energy around her photography. Her ability to build rapport very quickly with people makes it easy to create great photos and inspires a fun environment. During the planning process, Dawn was very thorough and prepared in her assessment of the event. She came ready with her own resources and was very effective in meeting the objectives. We have received great feedback from the attendees that the photography experience was positive and great photos were delivered. Working with Dawn is an absolute pleasure. She has a gift for working with people to capture their very best.”
Torch Community, Angela Eifert

I first met Dawn several years ago when we worked together on a project.  As a co-worker, I admired her exuberance for work and life and her standard of excellence.  Since then I’ve become a client of Dawn’s, and, as ever, her boundless energy and joyful approach to life are contagious.  She remains dedicated to producing first-rate results and exceeding her clients’ expectations.  She is diligent and forthright, keeps her client abreast of progress, and appropriately reaches out when decisions are required.  Dawn channels her creativity into producing work that addresses the client’s needs with that extra something special.  Dawn puts others at ease, and competently handles the project from beginning to end.  Dawn consistently displays a rare mix of admirable work ethic, accountability, trustworthiness, and reliability, combined with exceptional people-skills, positivity, and gentle tenacity.  In short, Dawn makes it a pleasure to produce exceptional results.
