Wine Photographer, California

Dawn Heumann is a California wine photographer based in Sonoma County. She photographs wineries, vineyards, tasting rooms, bottles, and the people of wine across the state, with deep roots in Sonoma, Napa Valley, and Anderson Valley.

Over nearly two decades she has photographed hundreds of wineries, from family estates to the portfolios of Trinchero Family Estates, Constellation Brands, Treasury Wine Estates, and Wagner Family Wines. Her wine work runs alongside national campaigns for Amazon, Kellogg's, and Walmart, so every image is built to campaign standard.

Whether the project is a single estate story or a portfolio shot across multiple regions, it starts the same way: a conversation about what the images need to do. Reach out to start the conversation.
