More than
one thing.

I’m Dawn. I help women grow toward the version of themselves they’ve dreamed of and discover who they never knew they could become through photography, movement, and connection.

A life in motion.

I’m a photographer, roller skating coach, entrepreneur, and mother of four based in the Raleigh, NC area. My focus is helping women feel capable, expressive, and fully themselves, with space to grow into the person they’ve imagined—or discover possibilities they hadn’t yet seen.

Through Dawn Kifalme Photography, I create intentional studio portraits. Through Kinetic Skates, I teach the foundations of skating and the freedom that comes with practice. Both invite women to see themselves differently and move with confidence.

Two ways to move
through the world.
