Here for every sweet stage of your baby's first year
Vancouver Wa Baby Photographer
Because they grow so fast in their first year
It's equal parts amazing, adorable, and heartbreaking to watch your baby grow throughout their first year. One minute they're this tiny little newborn who can hardly even keep their eyes open. You accidentally blink...and they're suddenly toddling around on two feet and eating solid foods!
capturing all of their ages and stages
First year sessions are a great way to hold onto each stage as your baby grows! I have found that these milestone sessions work best at 3 months, 6 months (or sitting), 9 months (or crawling), and for their 1st Birthday.
I offer these milestone sessions in my Washougal, Washington studio, outdoors, or even in your home.
For clients hoping to document their baby multiple times throughout their first year, I offer discounts based upon number of sessions. See pricing details below.

Explore the studio
My Washougal, WA studio is a timeless and neutral space perfect for maternity, newborn, milestone, and family sessions. With over 700 square feet on the second floor of a modern and secured building, it's a comfortable and welcoming space that allows for ample room to capture families and also take a break mid shoot if needed (insert new big brother or sister toddler who needs a moment). Three large, floor to ceiling windows draped in sheers give the space beautiful natural light, even on a perfectly gloomy PNW day. Baby clients have their pick of a timeless and neutral wardrobe to make newborn and milestone sessions easy as can be, and Moms have their pick of my thoughtfully selected dresses. All in all....it's pretty darn dreamy!

"Meg has a truly special way of making you feel like you’ve known her your entire life the very first time you meet her. Her joy and passion for being behind the camera is so apparent and sessions with Meg are so much fun. Her photographs are incredible and something my husband and I will cherish forever. Meg is the best.
Maddie Bergeson
"Meg is amazing. She recently did photos of our newborn and we have already booked a family session. She is kind, personable, professional and a great communicator. Our in home session was seamless- it felt like having my best friend come over. She was loving and patient with my newborn, got precious shots I was hoping for, made me feel pretty (which is hard when your post-partum), and got our photos turned around quickly. I am so glad we chose this small business!"
Meghan Moyle
"What can I say about Meg? She's the actual best! Not only does she take amazing photos and perform expert editing, she is kind, gentle, professional, and always prepared. One of my kids is extremely outgoing and Meg always brings the energy for her, getting her to sit still just long enough to get the perfect snap. The other is extremely shy and cried through his entire 1st birthday shoot. You can't tell in any of the photos that he was melting down. She managed to get so many gorgeous shots that captured his sweet little personality perfectly.
We have done shoots outdoors and in her beautiful studio and both experiences have been fantastic. She's part of the family at this point and I can't imagine ever hiring anyone else. We love working with Meg and look forward to her capturing our future milestones and memories as a family.

Meg has been there for maternity photos of my first baby, newborn photos, and three years of family photos with the latest including my second born. She is absolutely amazing to work with, and her eye for beautiful shots is unlike any I've ever seen. She is so kind and patient and has a way with the little ones that makes you feel at ease. I'm so happy that she has been there to capture such beautiful moments in my life and I am so proud to have those moments shown throughout my home.
Lea Talbot
I dread family photos because my kids never enjoy it, but this was the BEST experience. So natural and not forced. Just real, genuine smiles and emotions. She played games with the kids and made it so fun for them. I'm obsessed with every image!
Ashley Green
Meg is amazing. She not only takes wonderful photos, she captures the moment, the feeling, the everything. Her positive and calm demeanor makes the sometimes stress of family pictures disappear. Your pictures will be stunning. Meg has a passion and love for photography that radiates through her photos, and they're pictures of you! Seriously, it's a time capsule of your life, book a session with Meg
Amber Siefert
We had a wonderful experience working with Meg. She is so personable, funny, and calming. Having three boys ages 6 to 19 you can imagine we had some less than thrilled participants. Meg made each boy feel important and brought out beautiful smiles from them. Their individual shots catch them in a perfect light and exuding their personalities. She caught some very special moments that day. Our family photos are a priceless treasure and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out.
Jessina Murphy
"We had an amazing experience with Meg!! She took milestone photos for my 3 month old son, and I was absolutely blown away. Her studio is gorgeous and completely outfitted with everything - all we had to do was show up! I could tell Meg has a lot of experience with babies and young kids. She was very welcoming, easy going, and professional. The pictures themselves turned out better than I could have even imagined!! I am so glad we captured this fleeting stage and we will cherish these photos forever.
Natalie Fish
"Absolutely amazing! We had some family and newborn pictures taken with Meg. I received an email with some great tips and information to prepare for the shoot. The studio is so cute; clean, and full of gorgeous natural lighting.
Meg was so great with our toddler. She kept everything calm and chill! The newborn shots turned out amazing.
Her edits are gorgeous! I absolutely love the contrast and softness of the pictures. We will definitely be using her again in the future.
