Capturing the Magic


Ms. Dyson spent time in her undergraduate program pursuing a minor in psychology at an affiliated college. She looked into the psychology of personal space and boundaries to learn how to get inside of their comfort zone and capture the true wealth of their spirit. This allows her to get the magic of special events down on paper.

Ms. Dyson doesn’t only limit her application of psychology to the magic she captures in her photography. She’s also an avid volunteer in child abuse intervention services in her region.
