Alexander Valley Winery Photographer

Dawn Heumann is an Alexander Valley winery photographer based in Sebastopol, about thirty minutes from the valley floor. She photographs estates, hillside Cabernet vineyards, cellars, and tasting rooms from Healdsburg to Geyserville and Cloverdale.

Her Alexander Valley work includes Silver Oak and Jordan Winery, two of the valley's landmark estates, and over nearly two decades she has photographed hundreds of wineries across Sonoma and Napa. National campaign work for Amazon, Kellogg's, and Walmart means your winery gets imagery built to a national standard, made by someone who knows what crush actually looks like at 5 a.m.

Most projects start with a conversation about what you need the images to do: a new release, a refreshed website, a tasting room story, a full seasonal library. Reach out to start the conversation.
