Family, Maternity and Newborn Portraits
As a mother myself, I understand how quickly the time flies. Whether you're here for maternity, newborn, or family portraits — I want to help you capture this moment in time, in an artful way that beautifully represents how you truly look and feel right now.
I've worked hard to create an experience that is stress-free, and dare I say...fun! Even if you feel awkward in front of cameras, even if your spouse is not jazzed about the idea of portrait session, even if your little ones tend to act up in these situations — I will make you feel comfortable and relaxed so that I can capture your true selves.

authentically CAPTURING LIFE MILESTONES & ALL THE LITTLE MOMENTS IN BETWEEN
"Our photos turned out so beautifully. Megan not only got my baby girl to smile for the camera, but she captured her expressions so perfectly. Everything about Megan's experience is 5 stars, from the artistry of the photos to the customer service offered! We are so happy with our photos."
- the ANDERSON family
"Our photos turned out wonderfully and we will treasure them for a lifetime. We have two toddlers and it's no easy feat to get good photos of small children, but she is great with them and manages to get both posed and action shots of them. Highly recommend!"
"ExACTLY WHAT WE WANTED."
For most people, having their picture taken can make them feel awkward or uncomfortable. My goal is to create an environment that has everyone relaxed and having a good time...even the dads!

welcome to the comfort zone
My style tends to be more lifestyle or documentary, so I focus more on the interaction between you and your loved ones rather than having you do a ton of forced poses and smiling directly at the camera (unless that is what you are wanting!).
relaxed & real moments only
If you have any questions leading up to your session don't hesitate to reach out! I can help you with tips on what to wear for your session and locations. I want you to be so happy with your images that you want to have them hung up on the walls of your home! Let's create art!
