Experience
Beautiful Moments Of your Life
If you’re looking for someone who has a true, undeniable passion for photography, then I’m your girl! I start sessions off by taking the traditional, let’s-put-this-on-the-fridge type of photos, but the real magic for me is when we start to get into the lifestyle photos — the nontraditional poses and all of the moments in-between. I love to document the real and authentic moments — the moments that define who you are as an individual, couple or family.
If you’re looking for the person who’s going to instruct you to smile perfectly and stand straight for each photo, then I’m probably not the right photographer for you, but if you’re willing to be adventurous, try new things and have fun, then head right over to my ‘Contact!’ page and let’s set something up! I’d love to work with you.
What Makes Me Different
Why Work With Me?
The Shields Family
"Megan has an upbeat personality, is constantly smiling and really makes you feel like a natural in front of the camera. Our photos were professional, timely and really captured the essence of our family."
The Arlen Family
"We have had plenty of professional photos taken between engagement/wedding and family/newborn photos and Megan's are my absolute favorite!"
The Kostolansky Family
"We found Megan on Instagram and immediately loved all her work. We were looking for a family photographer to capture our family in a natural way. From first contact, Megan was responsive, prompt and professional – very pleasant and easy to work with. It was everything you would want in a photographer and the results are photographs we will cherish forever. We would recommend her a million times over and can’t wait to schedule another session this spring!"
Maternity
Family
Newborn
Come to your session prepared to get nice and close to one another! The more snuggly and cozy you are with each other, the cuter the pictures will come out, I promise! If you have little ones, be prepared to let them lead/guide the session’s direction. I will give prompts and guide the flow of the session, but often times with littles, it’s unpredictable, and guess what? That’s okay! Don’t expect everything to go as planned — it’s a mixture of direction and going with the flow.
You can expect to have the traditional photos taken at the beginning, but know that there will definitely be tickling, playing, and running around!
Similar to family sessions, newborn sessions can be unpredictable, which is why they are also the longest. They can take up to two hours and it really is about following babe’s lead. If they’re hungry, feed them; if they need soothing, soothe them. I’m more than okay with being flexible and patient while you need to tend to baby’s needs.
Expecting props for your newborn? Not my style. I like to capture posed and unposed moments — capture lifestyle and documentary. This means that I like to get natural, authentic moments of you with your babe.
I’ll come in and do a walk-through to get a feel of which rooms have the best light (I use natural light!) and we will most likely spend our time in those rooms for the entirety of the session.
I'm not going to lie, I have a special place in my heart for maternity sessions. I just LOVE photographing expectant mothers who are in this special time in their lives. Similar to couples sessions, I love to play some music to get you and your partner comfortable. I will get photos of you independently in all your baby bump glory and images of you and your partner together.
